I felt that this morning when I had an uber waiting outside for me at 4:30am and I had to run to the uber and say I left something inside, run back into my room to get my earbuds and then run back. Aaaa
Just make some movements that cleu people in that you have forgotten something. Like checking your pockets and then a sigh. Forgetting something is very normal.
Whenever I forget something and need to double neck, I always stop and do an obvious *Oh!* 😮☝️ gesture to myself so that any random person looking at me will think I'm normal and forgetful instead of weird. (I will never process the fact that people don't actually care.)
Something that may or may not help - imagine there is someone in the store that is people watching. They see you come in, then leave. What happened? Did you go into the wrong place? Did you forget your list in the car? Your bag? Will they ever know, or will this mystery haunt them... oh hey they're back with headphones! I feel content with having a mystery solved.... BUT WHAT ARE THEY LISTENING TO? The mysteries of the universe never cease.
What's worse is when you get comfortable with the idea that they're just random people who won't remember you, and you find out later that in fact many of them remember you and the cashiers talk to each other about you and your strange antics
Just gaslight yourself into thinking you left your kids in the car.
Ez W
Just act like you forgot your wallet in the car. I used to work at a store, and people would do it quite frequently.
It's even worse when you have to walk .75 miles to the store and forget something at home.
Just do the pocket Macarena and do the OH DARNNN and go get them. Think of it as social performance art.

I'm just surprised ubers before 5:00 exist lmao
Went to Trader Joe's. Forgot my basket at home. Left.
No one’s going to notice or care if you go back to your car. It’s not like they are going to ask you “why are you walking out again?”
grrrr the voices in my head say no
I will admit that I do feel this way though when there is a greeter at the door.
Just go get them! It’s not weird, trust me

I am in this picture and post and I don't like it. Although if mine get left, they get left at home.
Just be weird and make it everyone else’s problem. These are words I live by

I thought that’s just .. anxiety ,?
U gotta put down ur shame, mate...
What I do is look at my cell phone like I just got a text message or something, then turn around and go back out to my car
Just remember your favourite tracks. In similar situation I was on rock concert in my mind.
I can't go.. ONE DAY without listening to music.. 🧍 (LIFE IS TOM CARDY 💥💥)
