Spent 45 bucks on a fancy umbrella last month and still got soaked because I forgot it at the coffee shop.

It was last Thursday at the Daily Grind on 5th Street, and now I'm wondering if there's a secret adult handshake to remember things like keys and umbrellas, or if it's just my brain that's broken.

Oh man, I feel this. I spent 40 bucks on this nice black umbrella last spring and left it on the bus like three days later. lol. I've started clipping my keys to my bag with a carabiner so I can't walk away without them, but my brain still finds a way to ditch stuff like sunglasses and water bottles. Maybe we're all just running on a shared glitch, like the universe decided adults don't get a memory upgrade after age 25. I swear I've walked back into that coffee shop so many times the barista probably thinks I'm stalking her. lmao.

Is there any chance you can just leave a spare keychain hook on your bag or coat zipper? That's what I started doing after I left my third pair of sunglasses at a diner, and it sort of trains your hand to grab stuff before you walk off.
