The "Oh no...I forgot" Thread!!

[k_soldan]

We recently decided to upgrade our existing trailer, we pick up our new one on Friday (May Long weekend in Canada) - I'm sure i'll forget something as everything that was in the old trailer is everywhere around the house

Forgot the puppy food, leash and toys. Went to Bomgars and paid for a new bag of food and a bowl. Got back to the camper and remembered I forgot the alcohol that she specially asked for (she was coming the next day). Drove all the way home to get everything and took the dog food back from Bomgars.

Clearly I was only thinking about myself when I left.

I can't remember what I've forgotten.





Think about that sentence for a minute or two...

And I've forgotten what I can't remember.

but when you forget her alcohol and the dogs food...it won't take long before you get it figured out. Just sayin...

Ok y'all. You've made my morning! I saw the topic title and knew it was gonna be great. I've forgotten my DH's underwear but there's nearly always a Target or WalMart. He threatened to go commando so I headed out IMMEDIATELY.

Well we MUST be getting old...on this trip we, again, forgot butter for the corn-on-the-cob!! (Have ya'll tried roasting them right on the grill for about 30 minutes right in the husks? They have a ton of great flavor when you do!)
Since it's only been in the 50's and 60's at the house, we didn't expect 80's and 90's so we didn't bring shorts...dumb dumb dumb!

As long as you don't forget the camper, you are good to go.

No we try to buy the freshest so they are already wet. They end up looking pretty black when done but the inside will be perfect (I shuck them outside over the trash can with thick pot holders.)

Over the years a few things I have that stays in the trailer is;

1. Water Hoses about 100'
2. Sewer Hose about 50'
3. Leveling Blocks and now Anderson Levelers
4. Wheel Chocks
5. AC adapters 50 to 30 and 30 to 110

Since the days of roughing it out on the plains are over..there are Supermarkets and Super Walmarts around every corner.

First trip of the year. Only 3rd trip made with this camper. Forgot cameras. Not going to run to Walmart just for that. Phone camera works OK just not great.

We leave on husks microwave for 8 mins cut corn above the stalk end of cob squeeze out corn starting from top. Corn comes out super clean husk hairs with no mess. Corn on cob can't be any easier.

I don't actually laugh out very often, but this got me! Thanks for posting.

This is not a camping one, but it fits the "oh no, I forgot" category.

My brother and I hunt local. We were going to our honey hole about 40 miles away when, almost there, my brother realized he forgot his gun at home! We still give him crap for that one. Lol!

Oh that's hilarious!

My commute to work is about 45 minutes so I make a travel mug of coffee and I can't tell you how many times I've been halfway there and remembered it on the table...back home.

Forgot pillows. Surprised how important they are. Forgot coffee on the same trip. Those were rough mornings.
