Disaster strikes!
on: July 18, 2018, 12:55:58 AM
Somehow....I actually walked out of the house without my belt on.  Now without my belt there was also no ST300 and no Olight! Didn't realize it until I got to work.  Felt naked all day and let more than few curses slip as I reached for my trusty tool throughout the day only to find it missing.   :facepalm:

Anyone else ever walk out the door without their EDC?

NO.

Did I mention, NO?

By which, I meant NO.

 :twak:

Sure, I've walked out the door without a handgun and/or carbine, but no belt? For smurf's sake , NO!

However, I have had multiple opportunities to chastise Mrs Nix for 1) not wearing a belt, and 2) not having a knife with her.  So, Clown, you've managed to perform at the 'Average Housewife Level'. Please, for the love of awl things toolable, do NOT let this horrific mistake happen again. 

(I am sorry to be too harsh here, but this is the kind of slipping of standards with which I will not allow leniency.)

Nix, your admonishment is well deserved on my part.  While feeling quite embarrassed, I felt that a confession to my MTO brethren was the only sure way to rid myself of the shame. 

I don't often head to work without my EDC but in the event of such a lapse, I do keep an emergency MT in my car.  BUT I only very recently purchased a new vehicle and have not yet moved my old car gear into the new ride.  Burned myself twice today.  :bnghd:

Most of my stuff is usually kept in my pants when I take them off, and hang them up on the coat hanger hooked to the door.  I really don't like wearing belt sheaths that much, as they hang on everything, and often, as I hang them up, the sheath slides off the belt into the floor, aside from a Ripoffs pouch that I clip on my waistband and belt.  My Surge got equipped with the LM clip, which is hard to come dislodged from my right front pocket seam (and sometimes, hard to dislodge when I'm getting ready to use it, which is annoying). I always carry a SwissCard in my wallet, as sometimes, I don't carry an SAK with scissors, and often need them, and the other stuff (minus the blade, which I took out in case I forget to leave the SwissCard at home when going somewhere I'll have to go through a metal detector, and many places do allow a little pair of scissors).

Before I got into MTs, I would occasionally forget to throw my Pinchy and Explorer in my back pocket before leaving to work.  Like you, it would leave me feeling naked. I would reach for it all day, like a ghost limb  :ahhh
After I got into MTs, I started leaving a backup MT, SAK, and light at work. But, I am fortunate, as I have a safe place to stash a small pencil box of goodies. The box contains an MP600 (which is fine in case I forget my main carry), a worn out SAK Explorer, an old incandescent maglite, extra batteries, toothbrush/toothpaste, allergy meds, and other routine medicines I have to take daily. A nice "Just in Case I forget anything"  pack. :)
Since I began doing that, I haven't forgotten my tools or meds. But, being 20 miles from home, it is nice to know my daily routine will be similar/the same, because of the stashed box. :tu:

How about leaving your MT laying somewhere? Last month, I had lost my Surge at work. Boss let me spend the rest of the day looking for it. Couldn't find it and we assumed it walked out in a shopper's pocket. Carried my Wave the next day and was doing some balast replacements. When I carried the 12' ladder to the fixture, I set it up, at the fixture to work on and climbed up (I carry the 12' ladder vertically as to not hit anything with it). The Surge was still on the top of the ladder. I forgot about hanging a chandelier the day before. :facepalm:
It was a big relief! For me and the boss, because he knew I'd be spending at least  a half hour a day, for months looking for it.  :rofl:

I have been there....  too many times.  Megan makes a point of ridiculing me for not having a SAK, multitool or knife on me, threatening to tell all of you what a horrible embarrassment I am.

I would think that by now you would all be aware of what a horrible embarrassment I am, and that none of this should come as any surprise.....

Never. If I don't have my belt on, gravity takes hold and my pants will go south for an extended vacation.

I have forgotten my watch a few times, and when that hapens, I feel totally naked without it. My job dictates proper time keeping...and although there is a clock in every room I work in...that still doesn't stop me from checking my empty wrist which only reinforces my feeling of nakedness.  :facepalm:

Yeah, I try very hard to always wear my wrist watch everyday. It is rare that I do not...and when I do that, I constantly feel out of sorts for that day.  :D

And how did you get on, despite not having your security blanket multi tool with you?  Did you actually need it during the day?

Yes I needed it! Had a day full of wiring, cutter pins, snap rings and small e-clips!

My ST300 is back on my hip today and all is well.  I even moved my Surge to the new car as a backup.

I always get my work stuff ready the night before because I would forget everything the next morning if I didn't

Its the only way to do it.

In college, I was one of two guys who made it out of the dorm with pants during a fire "drill" (someone's ex added a squirt of lighter fluid and some time to his laundry in the dryer) in sub zero weather. All the other guys had sweats or shorts. (Sub zero american sub zero.) The other guy was my roommate, who'd picked the habit up from my doing it. I might have been pulling them on over my sweats in the parking lot, but I was warm and I had my keys, my knives, my basic tools, flashlight, and my wallet.

NO.

Did I mention, NO?

By which, I meant NO.

Sure, I've walked out the door without a handgun and/or carbine, but no belt? For smurf's sake , NO!

However, I have had multiple opportunities to chastise Mrs Nix for 1) not wearing a belt, and 2) not having a knife with her.  So, Clown, you've managed to perform at the 'Average Housewife Level'. Please, for the love of awl things toolable, do NOT let this horrific mistake happen again. 

(I am sorry to be too harsh here, but this is the kind of slipping of standards with which I will not allow leniency.)

Also, Y U NO GO BACK?! When I find I'm missing something, I awlways go back for it.
