Before you leave the house

I unironically use this to remember anything extra beyond my wallet phone and keys

It used to be keys, wallet, and the enjoyment of being unreachable.

Don't you miss the simple pleasure of having to knock on some stranger's door because you needed to use their phone?
- Didn't you have pay phones on every corner?

I do what I call "the Moron Macarena" just before I close the door. I pat each pocket and cross my arms patting the pockets again just to look extra stupid when I do it lol

Do it to the beat and now leaving the house becomes a (embarrassing) fun ritual!

Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch.

Do you have a history of leaving your balls at home?
- I wish I could. Sometimes you just wish you didn't have them
Searched replies and was not disappointed. 😄
Also: phone, earphones and mask these days.

Phone left pocket on it's own (to prevent scratches). Keys, wallet in right pocket.

If I'm not feeling either of those masses or a key jingle then I know I'm missing something.

Are you left handed ?
- Nope, right.
Same here.
Same except keys are clipped on a belt loop and I have a handkerchief with my wallet in my right front pocket (Japan is super humid so a lot of sweat-wiping happens). Also right-handed, but I hold my phone with my left and enter the passcode with my right hand (I don't use the fingerprint scanner)

I'm pretty much opposite. I don't even know why I carry this unknown mass around in my pockets. My keys are probably in there, otherwise the car wouldn't start.

Bonus points if you go back within one minute to get what you forgot. :-)

The neighbors can watch me doing this every 2 days or so.
- I'm glad that we can be a source of great amusement for them.
  Oh wait, no, I mean "you" - cause I totally never do that, never ever ever ever 😉.

THE CANVAS BAGS!

I dunno, that Sense That You’ve Forgotten Something pictured looks pretty clearly defined.

The ear buds. It's always the ear buds.

I have ADHD and recently just quit nicotine. So for the past few months I run through my mental checklist including the vapes that are no longer part of my checklist because they were part of it for so long. then I have to consciously tell myself I don't vape anymore and have to redo the list In my head without the vapes. I never feel like I have everything...

ADHD is a helluva drug

5D Hypercube: Don't leave home without it

Jokes on you - it's actually 9D compressed into a 7D space. :-D

Yeah, they clearly forgot headphones.

Did you or did you not turn the stove off?

I pay with the phone and open the door with my thumbprint. Before this I always had to triple check and was always stressed when leaving the house.

Don't worry, if you forgot, it probably wasn't important 😉

.... KEVIN!

Not vague for me. Sun glasses 100% of the times I forgot something.

Most times i will stage things i need to take with me near the door. Depends on how out of routine the stuff is

This is why I started wearing hats everywhere. I have to find my hat which triggers the "Have I got everything?" thought process. If I go outside without my hat it definitely triggers the "Double check EVERYTHING because you clearly arent switched on"

Again

When I was the last one leaving the flat for a while, I put a post-it on the door, not only specifying what I needed to pack (I’ve had that down for years), but also for things to check (open window, balcony). I always checked those things, anyway, but checking (and affirming) that I checked gave me peace of mind.

Read the last part as that thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is.
