I just got sis's late Christmas gift in the mail, and she mailed into inside the insulated cooler that friend got me from Buccees. I left it up there accidentally when we were visitng at Thanksgiving. I didn't think I would see that thing until Easter when will we probably make a foray up to Pennsylvania. Glad to have it back, and the gifts of course. I am famous for leaving things behind..even when I think I have everything something invariably turns up missing. Did you ever leave something behind when you were visiting? I kinda think this might partially be unique to me.

I am a person who double checks constantly. Honestly, I think it comes from raising a pack of kids, I just learned to check to be sure they were leaving with whatever they arrived at the spot with that was theirs. We all misplace things sometimes!

I will do it if It is something really important, or that I know I will miss if I don't have it like the phone. I am especially careful with my DL and payment cards..

Yes, those things are important for our survival. I am the same way.

Normally, if I don't attempt to find what was lost, it will magically appear in the house. I normally misplace my chargers and keys.

I don’t usually leave anything behind when I visit family because they always tell me to go back and look around, and usually they go and look too. My grandmother did that, passed it on to my mom, who passed it on to my sister. So there was always someone going behind me, looking. I guess because of that, I take extra care at hotels as well.

We always do a double check at hotels, because you know if you leave something there, you are unlikely to see it again.

Yes, I have left things in my parent's house numerous times.

@snowy22315 - I finally decided to leave at my Mom's house a little bag of what I needed to make up in the morning, a PJ and a sweater.

I'm famous for leaving my phone behind just about everywhere I go! The most recent time was when I was returning from Orlando, and stopped at a Starbucks for coffee and to use the bathroom. I left my phone inside the Starbucks, and drove home 2 hours before I realized it was missing. I called my phone, and a Starbucks employee answered and said they had it. I drove back 2 hours to get it. They felt bad, and gave me a free latte for the return drive home.

That was really nice of them! Didn't make up for all the gas you wasted retrieving it though. The phone is one thing I don't think I ever lost except for in the house or car. Once I left it at a self check though..but I missed it immediately, and went back. When went in a cashier had it and gave it to me immediately

@snowy22315 I once left my credit card at a bar in Orlando (when I opened a tab the night we were there), and a few days later when I returned home to Gainesville, I realized it was missing. I drove back down to the bar, and they had it locked in their safe for safekeeping. I had over a $300 tab (there was a large group of us partying), and the bar manager felt bad for me that I had to drive all the way down to get my card, so she reduced my tab down to $30. That was nice of her to do that, so I left her a $270 tip.

Just a nightlight in a motel and part of a camera case on an enormous battleship.

It's always something that mysteriously gets misplaced or left behind.
