It's like a terminating zero char of a string, or an EOF (end of file) char. If you don't have the vague feeling, then you haven't exhausted your item list!
Hummed to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Everytime I leave the house...
Keys, Glasses, Wallet, Phone, Wallet, Phone...
I never leave home without it!
forgot the knife
Oi mate
I probably forgot to turn something off and now the entire building will explode
And burn down. And then explode again.
Don't forget to remember 5 minutes after you leave that you forgot something else important! I forget my glasses half the time when I leave the house only to get in my car and realize I can't see before I pull put of my driveway. I almost never forget any of my other stuff though, because that gets neatly(ish) organized into my purse (and very rarely leaves the seemingly TARDIS-like pockets in my tiny little crossbody), and I can't even get into my cars without the keys from my purse ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The other wallet, I always forget my second wallet.
Also bags for shopping, in my country free disposable bags aren't allowed so if you forget, you will carry stuff in your pockets and hands.
The 🔑 belongs into the locked door, so I can't leave without it. Oh the horrors of being locked out.
PS: Never leave the house without a pack of paper tissues.
Why the tissues?
To cry in when you forget your keys I suppose.
That's one option but the possibilities are endless.:)
PKW is the acronym needed for this. Life pro time there! Just say PKW when you leave and you're good.
