Sounds like me:
- visit friend last night, forget to bring keys
- cycle home at 1 AM, no one in, locked out
- cycle back to friend's, sleep on his sofa
- this morning, cycle over flatmate's office to borrow keys
- get to flat, make coffee, accidentally leave the hob on for 30 mins
- cycle back to flatmate's office, realise I forgot my lunch
I think I have dementia or something

Edit: spent £6 on some some clamp-on friction shifters and a set of V-brakes to make myself feel better.

While biking across spain I boiled some water on the hob for a tea, popped out after 10 minutes to get some grub, 20 minutes later I'm stood in the queue waiting to pay when it dawns on me that I've left a pan on the hob in a rented apartment.

Dropped my food and legged it the 5 minutes back to the flat to find that I'd also forgotten to put the pan on the hob and it was just roaring away doing it's thing warming the kitchen...

I came home once to find my kitchen like that. My flatmate turned out to be decent fertilizer for my chili plants.

Ha. At my parents house we've actually done worse before: left the hob on for an entire week whilst we were on holiday! You'd think between 5 people one of would notice. It was nice and warm when we got back at least
