I am the most

....in the words of Nelson from The Simpsons..... "HA HA!"

By the way - been there done that and gone one better too.....have gone out and forgotten memory cards and batteries before now - for a week in Pembrokeshire *sigh*
 
Lucky I am on the train will get a card when I get to station .…. At least I am not the only stupid one
 
Not only did I forget the battery and memory card.........I left my camera at home when heading off to west Wales for a 2 week holiday!

After 3 days I went to the nearest Jessops and bought my first DSLR, the camera left at home was a bridge.

Been there, done that, more than once...
 
I always take a shot before I leave home nowadays. It forces me to look at all the settings, check the battery, WB, ISO etc and if there is no card it tells me :)
 
I've left a battery charging while I've gone out for a walk with the camera.
Nice walk, no pics :)
I could have gone out with any of my cameras but thought the Nex 6 would be nice and light.
I didn't even take the spare battery :(
 
At least memory cards can be found pretty much everywhere.

Have a great day with the kids, Terri.
 
How can anyone forget a memory card!?
 
I keep a spare battery and Mem card in each of my 3 bags, so it doesnt matter which one i grab in a rush i am always covered.
 
Wonder if anyone remembered to take the battery and memory card wiith them but forget the camera? :help: :D

I have done that. More annoying was going out with an old camera with two rolls of 120 film and finding out there was no take up spool in the camera. One of the rolls of film was sacrificed to supply the spool.

I've put the kit out on top of my coat, all ready for action then put the coat on and gone out, leaving the whole kit and caboodle on the settee where I moved it to get my coat... I now have a camera which is going to live in my car so I've always got one when I'm out! Not done the memory card thing for a while - I have a small case which holds spare batteries and cards for 3 of my compacts and that gets clipped to a belt loop as part of the pick-up-camera routine. More usual is to grab the SLR with whatever lens is fitted then find (at the most distant point of the excursion...) that I need a different lens.

Over the years, I think I've done all the usual forgettings - film, batteries, cards, camera...
 
But, once you've done it it doesn't happen again :)
I have a routine now which I always follow. I should have had one before, but when you're thinking of other things...
 
If only that were true! Short term memory is not good these days - I still blame it on the info falling out through the hole in me heed but that's fairly well healed by now!
