Belle and Sebastian accidentally leave drummer in pyjamas in Walmart
The band, who are currently on tour in the US, had stopped at the supermarket in Dickinson. “I was coming out of the Walmart, and [Colburn] was coming into the Walmart,” frontman Stuart Murdoch told Minnesotan radio station the Current. “He was waving very happily, in a good mood. And that was the last time that we saw him.”

Murdoch said the band had become “blasé” with their system for checking onto the bus, and therefore accidentally left without Colburn, who was dressed only in pyjamas and didn’t have a phone or passport with him. “He had a credit card, but he still sat in Walmart for four hours. He was probably thinking somebody was going to notice

A few months ago someone on the night crew forgot about a cart of bags from an arrival, flight arrived at 11pm, bags didn't get to baggage claim until the morning crew came in at 4:30am.

Not all adults carry cell phones... We don't even have a cell phone anymore...

He should have had at least his ID with him, a credit card in the US can be pretty useless without ID, can't even check into a hotel without ID.

Actually it was his daughter but never mind, your point is well met. What I want to know is where Cameron left his brains!

On a lovely day I walked to the shops, with Millie (my Springer Spaniel) and did the shopping and wandered back home...sans dog I ran back faster than Bolt and Mo as a team, and she was patiently waiting, but I felt dreadful

Heh! I stopped the car at Loblaws, it was snowing hard so I left it running for the heater and ran in, leaving my coat in the car. I also left my autistic daughter in the car. I grabbed a baguette and, this being back when Loblaws sold edible Camembert, one of those. I came back to find that a flailing arm had whacked the lock button and I was now shut out. I stood in the falling snow waiting to see which would come first, the CAA, a lucky arm movement or the Children's Aid.

My missus recently learned not to put dark brown wood stain in an old coke bottle and leave it on the kitchen counter.

You can probably guess the rest of this story.
