    I haven't forgotten my clothing, but I have on occasion gone to work without my teeth. Didn't realize I didn't have my dentures in until I said Hello to my boss.

      I'm constantly looking for my glasses, keys, phone, etc. I've also done the mismatched shoe thing. While I've never forgotten my pants, a month or so ago I texted a friend "Taking <youngest son> to school. Realized I forgot to put on a bra. Not a good start to the day."
      At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.

        This was many years ago, but I once went on a job interview in mismatched shoes. I didn't even realize it until after I left. Funny thing is, I still got the job so I guess they weren't paying too much attention to my feet.
        Not paying much attention to people's feet was a key element in the jailbreak in the Shawshank Redemption.

          I forget my glasses all. The. Time. Problem with that is, I'm legally restricted on my drivers license to have to wear them when driving. O.o I've almost forgotten my keys. There's a reason I keep them clipped to my purse when they're not in the ignition of my car!

            Never forgotten pants, but shirt. Yes. Thankfully I remembered the bra, but still. I didn't even notice until I was putting my seatbelt on!

              Forgetting my glasses isn't an issue. Finding them can be at times. I swear I need glasses to find my glasses some days.

                I don't keep stuff in my messenger bag because I am forgetful, I do it because of preparedness - I keep a full days set of medications and a set of PRN pain meds, my 'wallet [a metal business card case that holds my military ID, my drivers license, both my debit cards, my triple A card and my medical insurance card] and a spare charged battery for my cell phone [as well as an extra print out of all my meds, my medical conditions and my surgical history as well as emergency contact info even though all that is on my USB stick medicalert bracelet] - just in case I need to exit the house quickly in any sort of emergency. I sort of wish they had some sort of prefilled syringe that required absolutely no refrigeration at all with some sort of multi year lifespan of both my injectibles that I could leave in my bag as well. Maybe in the future. At least my 2 meds are shelfstable for 30 days from first use so I don't need to keep them in the fridge and get them out every day.

                  My eyesight is horrible, so I have done the thing where I use the camera on my phone to look around for my glasses.

                    This title conjures up totally different images to Brits and Yanks

                    Since half the crowd in here can't go out in the morning without requiring a large sign saying HAVE YOU DRESSED COMPLETELY AND CORRECTLY?,it makes you wonder what kind of attire they are posting in

                    I'm now imagining a variety of people posting in a range of clothes,some with the arms sticking out the back,some trying to put both legs into one trouser hole or staring in bafflement at a large gap in the blouse and the six spare buttons that might possibly go into it...

                      Um, I have quite seriously considered putting such a sign up by my front door. But that has more to do with my opinions re:clothing than being forgetful. Mostly. The two do heterodyne sometimes.

                        Normally a t-shirt that is oversized [6x instead of 3x, men's huge shirts are cheaper than ladies 'sleep shirts'] underwear, and board shorts. I dislike being hot and sweaty, and am more at home in cold so I will go out for the mail barefooted in t-shirt and shorts with 3 feet of snow on the ground and more coming down. <shrug> I might shove into a pair of clogs if the ground is particularly muddy. If I am headed down to the poultry pen and it is messy out I will use my wellies.

                          Who says those of us posting from home are wearing any clothes at all? I bet you are seriously overestimating some folks...

                            Well, since glasses have seem to have taken a liking to this thread, it seems I have cost myself the price of new prescription sunglasses.

                            When I'm not working, I do photography as a hobby to relax and keep busy. Went up to a semi-popular lookout to try getting a sunset over the CBD of Melbourne, and wore my sunnies while hiking to the lookout. I had with me my gear, as well as a foldable chair with a drink pocket.

                            While shooting, I'd switched back to my normal glasses, and promptly forgot I had worn the sunnies up there, which were sitting in the drink pocket of the chair. I packed up after shooting, hiked back to the car, and was 3/4 of the way home when I realised I had forgotten all about them. Went back the next day, and no sign of them.

                            Oh well, lessons learned and all that, but it means I have to go without sunnies while saving to get a new pair now.

                              Ooh yeah I remember they call it trousers over there. I forgot what pants mean there.

                              *googles it*

                              Oh...oh my. Not that! I meant trouser pants. Not underpants. Lol. Hopefully people knew... Just sayin'.

                                Pants? LOL, no.

                                Last week I made it half way to work when I realized I had totally forgotten to put on any makeup at all. I normally don't wear much, but still, it was weird.

                                I wear reading glasses, and I've just given up on prescription ones. I just stick with cheap dollar store pairs because I lose/forget so many.
