What’s the worst thing you’ve forgotten to take on holiday?

[Ricekrispie22]

There’s always something I forget! Our car is all packed for the off tomorrow but it feels like I’ve forgotten something.

[Wantingtogetitright]

Underwear! I can’t relax on the journey until I’ve thought of something I’ve forgotten.

[Mrsjayy]

I forgot my pants I had packed them in a drawstring bag and forgot 😅

[BankHolDeclutter]

Capol somewhere very easy to reach eg glove compartment.

[Aroundtheworldin80moves]

To close and lock the front door. Our neighbours noticed quickly.

We usually do the stupid things on holiday, not before we go.

Not me personally but we recently got married and my (now) husband's daughter's boyfriend forgot to pack his suit trousers when they came up to stay.

Food - on a camping holiday! But I had remembered the G&T and fresh coffee and percolator

[NakedAttraction]

A whole suitcase. Didn’t make it into the car.

[Bythemillpond]

Driving licence. Hired a car in the states and remembered just as we were about to land

[OoglyMoogly]

Forgot to pack my contact lens solutions and case. Had to find a supermarket open late as soon as we arrived

[oprahwindfuryy]

Razor, all inclusive resort miles from anywhere

[blackteaplease]

Pants. But I could easily get some at the supermarket. That Sam holiday we bumped into friends at the campsite, they had forgotten their saucepans

[CompleteBarstool]

Not particularly bad at all but I'm still reminded of it approx 12 years later ..... DC's pyjamas.

They still remind me every time we go on holiday.

My h left my hand luggage outside a shop in Gatwick airport so none of my jewellery, hair dryer etc made it on holiday with us. I wouldn’t have normally bothered but it was a cruise and I have wild hair! We had a big row on the plane when we realised.

Picked it up on the way home thankfully.

My EXH forgot his trousers after i asked him to check his clothes before they went into the case. All he had was a pair of jeans for a hot destination. He even tried to blame me. Twat.

[LadyCatStark]

DS’s full suitcase. He was a toddler and had packed his Trunki. He’d been riding on it in the living room and ridden it around the side of the sofa so DH didn’t spot it when he loaded up the car and I didn’t spot that he hadn’t loaded it up. I had to go to an all night Asda at midnight when we arrived in Scotland (miraculously, it was around the corner) to buy him clothes and underwear. Unfortunately, it also meant he didn’t have his teddy.

My DH forgot to take a shirt when travelling to a very rural wedding.
I once forgot to pack the 5 yr olds comfort blanket. Never again!

[Lovelydovey]

We went away for Christmas and forgot to pack the wrapped presents….

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

At a festival - remembered the tent, forgot the tent poles. 😬

[Chicchicchicchiclana]

Swimming costume. Not really a problem as was near a large city in the south of France so could go to Decathlon, but still a very stupid thing to forget for a beach holiday in a hot country.

My friends went on a camping trip to Dorset from London. Her dh didn't put the tent in the boot of the car, although he had remembered the tent poles. He had to drive home and back again.

[imnottoofussed]

My child's dummies. We had to go to Walgreens when we got there and buy some but they were the completely wrong shape and I've never been forgiven. She's twenty now but will still remind me at least once a year

[Woolywolf]

Retainer. £££ of orthodontics wasted as teeth moved

[BrutusMcDogface]

My anti depressants!! 😳😱😱😱

[thelastgoldeneagle]

I forgot toddler ds's muslin comforter once on a trip to Otis. He'd never got to sleep without it before 😬

[thelastgoldeneagle]

Paris, not Otis, ffs.

[ThePontiacBandit]

I forgot my purse once. Not too far into a 2 hours journey. My lovely Dad drove up to meet me somewhere then I started again.

I do struggle with executive function (I’m Autistic) so I actually keep a packing list in the back of my diary which I consult before I leave. Lessens my anxiety. I usually say that as long as I have prescription meds and access to money everything else can be purchased in most places.
