What do you usually forget? ....

[wonderloaf]

Today was a particularly good day for absent mindedness, had an early 6am start and was 1/2 hour into the ride before I realised I had forgotten the following:

- water bottle
- cash
- ID
- front door keys

Probably would have forgotten my head as well if it wasn't attached to the helmet.
What annoys me is that I lay everything out the night before so I had just left these sitting on the hallway table in plain view

Then to cap it all about half way round the 25 mile ride I had a painful back spasm going up a steep-ish hill, felt like someone had stuck a cattle prod in my back! . This is the closest I've been to calling Mrs W and getting her to pick me up, but luckily I was able to soldier on for the rest of the ride so rescue was not needed.

Think this must be the onset of old age ..... what do the rest of you normally forget, I bet there's always something!

I can't remember what I forget.

My phone is the most common,not that it particularly bothers me.From the messroom usually my cup of tea when walking down to my train.

Another thing I always forget is a .... bugger, forgotten what I was going to say.

Phone, or wallet.

Occasionally, my trousers.

When I was working in Nantong (China) my commute was 42 Kms each day. One day a was late leaving the office and most people had already left but when when I got home I realised that the keys for the apartment were still in the office. That was the only day my commute became 84 Kms so I was more careful with the keys after that.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Occasionally, my trousers.

It happened the other day on the commute, I got to work and found I'd packed shirt, socks and undies... But no trousers.

I had to go and buy some. That's happened to me three times now.

Frequently I forget a water bottle.

@Dec66 - leave a suit at work. That'd solve the trousers problem.

 

[biggs682]

quite often get to the end of the drive and realise no helmet

and often forget water bottle

Dignity is usually left behind.

Something... I nearly always forget something. Gloves, cash or, phone.
Never seem to get going straight away!

 

[NorthernDave]

On the bike I've set off at various times without: helmet, gloves, water bottle(s), waterproof jacket, bike lock and bank card.
Even this morning I got to the back gate before realising I'd only put one glove on...

 

[Racing roadkill]

I've forgotten the bike on more than one occasion.

 

[Lonestar]

Water bottles are for pussies.

Seriously I never carry a water bottle on my commutes...Did leave my keys in my locker at work once and had to cycle 30 mile round trip to retrieve them.
