Yep that's how it goes in this house too except that DH always starts the conversation in the middle and I have to keep up.

Do what I do and start chanting, 'Phone, glasses, keys, money, tickets, passport' before he's got anywhere near the door.

DH has just gone fishing so for tickets and passport substitute maggots and sandwiches. grin

Too right it was your fault, what is a wife for, if not to ensure her husband is properly equipped before he leaves home. No excuse for sloppy wifing.

Sounds like a typical conversation in our house.

Nelliemoser Last week we took our caravan to where it is stored and were going on to see our DD1. Having left the van we were 10 minutes on the way when DH couldn't decide if he had locked up or not. I rang DD to say we would be a bit late and why. DH was really cross that I had told her the reason !

I think men (in general) do find it harder than women to accept that they are fallible.

Why on earth did you leave it on the bed bags?

I'm surprised it wasn't your fault for not asking him if he had it before you set off lol

...MrBags is up there with the champs. After a 4010 start, I'm just back from accompanying him to Glasgow Airport (so that I could drive the car back). On the way he was fidgeting with his coat while driving. Then he said: "Have you got your phone with you?"
Me: Yes.
Him: Can I have it?
Me: Then what would I have?
Him: My iPhone.
Me: Where is it?
Him: On the bed.

Then followed a conversation of my phone lock pin as he'll have to switch it off on the plane, and talk about the ocntact addresses he needs which, naturally, are on his iPhone. Blah, blah.

Who else, like me, would just have said: "Blast! I've left my phone on the bed. Can I borrow yours?" right at the beginning?
