Do you tend to forget something while leaving from home?

I'm clumsy, so this happens to me most of the time. I forgot my keys twice or more and I couldn't get back into my parents' house, and in one of them no one was home. So I was locked out. I also dropped my two cell phones on the sidewalk once back when Circuit City was dying because my cell phone holder strap broke, and I had to make an emergency trip back home to find them. That was the first of the times this happened. Another was when I forgot one of my hats because I always wear a hat to absorb the sweat from my head and give me shade. Like I said, i'm clumsy. A bit forgetful, and clumsy.

Hi Sree! It sometimes happens with me too that I forget to keep my wallet with me and I ask my colleagues to help, when I reach office. I sometimes forget to keep the handkerchief with me, when I get down and start my bike and put on my helmet, then only I realize that I've forgotten my handkerchief. However, most of the time I try to remain careful and alert and check all my essential belongings, before I leave my home. One fine day, my better half forgot to pack my lunch and when I opened my lunch box in the afternoon, it was empty. I was shell shocked and had to contend with Canteen food. Forgetting things is part of our life.

This happens to me on a daily basis.My grandmother used to say that if I go out then need not close the door since I would be soon back to take something which I had forgotten.In the morning I am in a hurry so that I don't have the patience to think and reflect on the necessary belongings to be taken to the office. But, as you know, impatience always sucks,it wastes a lot of valuable time.But alas! what to do,today also I forgot something important.I rushed to the court for the argument day in an important case.Only when I reached the court hall I realized that the argument notes I had prepared the last night was at home.Luckily I got my clerk on phone and he was only half way from my home and he went and brought the notes.But I know not always luck will come to the aid.

I have the tendency also forgetting things. One time, I forgot my wallet when I was going to work. I used to bring separate wallet and purse wherever I go. Since my work place at that time is walking distance from my apartment, I did not notice it until I arrived in the office. My wallet was in my other bag I used the other day. As a result, I have to borrow money from my officemate for my lunch. There are also times that I forget to take off the key of my apartment in the keyhole. Only to find out the next day that it is still there. Good thing, my neighbors are nice. Well, i guess my forgetfulness was due to anesthesia.

hello Sreekala, yes, and it happened a couple of times or so. i forgot to lock the side door before going somewhere during my restday. and when i came back, i found out that i did not lock or even close the door before leaving. good thing i locked the gate but even then some bad guys can go over the fence and steal something while i'm away. so lucky, that nothing is missing. and then after a month or so, i did it again. i promised to myself that i need to double check the door before leaving and need not wait till such time that someone will discover about it. so far, so good. and hopefully will never happen again. other thing that i forgot was our wedding ring. i called up my wife at once upon noticing it and told her that i removed it in when i'm taking a bath and forgot to put it back. and just recently, i went downtown to submit to the bank an important document for a friend who happen to be in abroad and ask a favor from me but when i was already in my way i noticed that i was not holding anything where infact i just printed it and put on top of the table. and because of this, i need to go to an internet cafe so i can have it print than going home again.

Hi Sreekala this might seem funny to you but it happens for me some times.. regularly I am the last to leave house so I lock and keep the key in my hand bag and leave to office.. my hubby also as one more key.. one day we both left together so both of us thought the other will lock the door and both forgot.. Fortunately we talked on the road wether about the home and I asked wether he locked the house.. then he told me that he thought I will do that.. then again we went back and locked the door and left for work.. Isnt it was funny??

Don’t remind me Kala…the last time was the door key. We have this self-locking system where we just pull it from outside and the door gets locked…no need of hanging any extra lock on it. Now as I said, I just walked out (God knows what I was thinking) and after I had shut the door and walking down the stairs that I remembered that the keys were left at the table…Oops! Finally I had to call my hubby, wait on the road for about one hour till he came and rescued me Waiting for a minute is a good habit Kala….I too practice it now but only I after I learnt my lesson the hard way!

I am usually pretty good at remembering everything but I have the occasional off day. Not long ago my daughter and I set off to meet my mother and we were already late. A little while down the road I asked my daughter to check whether my mobile was in my bag and she said it wasn’t so I had to turn around and go back home much to her annoyance! All the way back she is complaining to me about how forgetful I am...Bla...Bla...Bla... I get back to the house and I go inside while little Miss Complaining waits in the car. I look around the kitchen, dining room, lounge, my bedroom...No sign of the phone so I ring the number from the landline and I don’t hear anything except my daughter in the car yelling, “Mum! Your phone is ringing!” Yep, it was in my bag the whole time...Little Miss Complaining turned into Little Miss Quiet all the way to my mother’s house!

Hello sreekala, yes I do. That is really annoying and frustrating especially when you remember the forgotten something at the middle of your destination. I found an idea how to overcome it from that time on. Before I leave I should put together in one place all the things I would bring so that I could be sure nothing would be left behind...thanks

that is ME.I always in a hurry, actually i do not know what makes me so. I always prepare something like my wallet or maybe my cell but when i get out, i just forget it

Hi sree Yes. i will defenitely forget something whenever I leave from home. Inside me my consious says that some thing I have forgotten, but i don't remember what is that. Later on when i needed that thing i will come to know what I forgotten. Even when I go to my relatives house and stay for a couple of days, it is my habit of forgetting, my tooth paste, brush, soap and towel etc.

I tend to forget things at home and waste valuable time going back to get what I had forgotten. I usually forget my mobile phone, especially when I'm charging it. One time, I also forgot my access card. I had to go back home because going to work would be useless without it. I hate it when it's one of those days, when I forget something important and have to rush and go home for it.

Yeah, i sometimes forget something at the moment where i close the door and then i call my mother to open the door, last week, i forgot my gloves and longtime ago, i forgot my choes lol XD, i was in slippers.

I always used to forget things while leaving home..worse is that i remember it far away ...but what i did is i slowed down all of my actions just some time before leaving the home..that helped me a lot...we tend to forget things because we put ourselves in un necessary hurry ..if we do things in their time ...all will be good no hurry no panic..

Well, from time to time I have been known to forget something. When we used to live in between where my husband worked and I worked, sometimes I would call my husband to bring something to me that I had left at home, especially if it was something of importance. But now since we live about 45 mins. drive from where I work, I have to double check each morning before I go to work, etc. and make sure that I have everything as well. Since I am Insulin Diabetic this is very important to remember these types of things for sure.

Sometimes, that will happen if I am not prepare for today. My preparation happen the night before, and the preparation means that day is a very very important day. I don't want to have a last moment problem so I list down all I need and prepare it before the day ends, before I sleep. I forget something when i do not plan everything. What are the things that I can forget, either it is my wallet, my cellphone , organizers to name a few. These are the things that are very important to me.

Hello Sreekala, I was not a forgetful person during my younger time. But now, after having my own family, I tend to forget sometimes. Whenever I travel back to my hometown, I always forget to bring something and when I reach my hometown and need to look for the stuff, then only I realize that I forget about it. I also have this habit where whenever I lock my car and walk away from the parking lot, I tend to stop and go back to my car - I can't remember whether I already locked the car or not!

A lot of people have this problem. Me, too. Morning is always short, so I usually packed up my bag before going to bed. I have a pad of to do list, and check weather forecast before hand, so as to save the trouble of going back to pick up the documents, umbrella, etc.

I cant count the number of times I have gotten a mile down the raod and had to turn around to go get something I forgot. Many times is was my whole reason for going out, well a good part anyway. Like say I borrowed a movie from one of my friends, and the next day I am going over to visit and bring the movie back. It is one of the reasons I am going, and I put it over by the door, but somehow I still manage to go out the door, get in the car and drive away without noticing that I dont have the movie with me. If I only get a mile or two away before I realize then I will go back, but much further and I decide to just tell them I will get it back to them the next day.

hi,srekala!if I forgot something when leaving home,it must be my key!before stepping out my house,I wonder something is wrong,and I think and I think,just realize nothing,but when I am out,I soon remember that I 've forgotten my key!
