Have you ever forgot your cue?

Okay Sam, add a couple of more.

Two years ago I played in the VNEA state tournament for the first time, drove 30 minutes to the Adams Mark, got out of the car, and found I had left my cue at home. Duhhhh!!!! Luckily (?) had a LONG, LONG wait before my match, and was able to go home and get it.

A couple of years ago, JL came to Betmore's Basement for a straight pool match (again a long drive) and found she did not bring her cue. She spent the next several hours complaining at every opportunity about the crappy loaner stick she had to use. I went out the next day and bought a nice McDermott that visitors can use if they arrive without weaponry.

I love it! The "house cues" in Betmore's basement are McDermotts!
 
OK, here goes: a) I've accidentally left my cue at a restaurant, b) I've accidentally left my cue at the library, c) I've accidentally left my cue at work, d) I've accidentally left my cue at somebody else's house. and e) I left the poolroom with my opponent's cue (we had the same case and I grabbed the wrong one as I left).
 
No. I've left it on the table at the pool room and gone to work a few times, but no, I never walked out of the house to go play without it.
 
I was playing music with some band mates.....

While living in Wilmington NC, I packed my bags for a weekend golf tournament in Pinehurst - 2.5 hours away. As I was entering Pinehurst I got this uneasy feeling. I pulled over and checked my trunk. Twas void of the clubs. I left 'em sitting at the door.

Borrowed some clubs, bought a sand wedge and putter. Missed the cut by one.

Yeah, it happens!

I was playing with some band mates and we took everything out to the car to load it up.....

we get to one of the band mates apartments and start to set up to practice and low and behold my amp isn't there.

We drive back to where we were parked and 45 minutes later, it's still sitting there in the middle of the parking lot.

lol.....

Forgot you cue?

I never have forgot to bring my cue but I did leave it and the case in a Tavern once. Until my friend call me the next day asking where my cue/case was I had no clue I had left it. 3 grand worth of cues left behind but I have never done it since then.
 
That is generally how cues get stolen at a tourney. You get talking to some friends you only see a few times a year, and walk off leaving your case sitting next to a table. Someone watches you walk away, then grabs it and makes a run for it.

I never left my cues but my table is in a commercial building a couple of miles from home. I drove there to play one day and took my wifes car. When I got there I realized that the key fob to deactivate the alarm and get in to the building were on my car keys which I had left at home. Kind of sucked but just had to turn around and pick em up.
 
I have accidently left my cue in more places than I can remember.

Fortunately, I haven't lost it yet.
 
Yeah, I forgot my cue once real bad, but it wasn't in the poolroom where I had been playing all evening. I did pack up my cue, went out to my car, fiddled for my keys and drove off up the main drag of the town (a city of about 100,000 at the time). The main drag was long, maybe a mile or so, and a popular cruising strip for the bored youth in those days, as carloads of kids would circle back and forth up and down the strip to be seen and see each other. So as I was stopped at about the 5th or 6th light, a carload of cruising kids tooted their horn and began to yell something at me. I hardly looked over, because usually that meant a challenge to drag or whatever. But they persisted, so finally I opened my window to hear what they had to say. "There's something on the roof of your car," they said. And sure enough, there was my cue. :D :D
 
You better not leave your cue laying around here. Guarantee someone makes you sweat it out. Although we look out for eachother, you will worry.

You can add me to the list of embarassed and scared/mad as hell over leaving it behind.....
I left my cue in a friends car last summer and chased him almost to Bakersfield from Sacramento to get it back! (I think he was speeding on purpose)
But I did it once in the mid 90's,too....... Starting to sound like a trend, I need a backup plan!
 
I forgot my jump cue after league once. It is a horrible feeling. Luckily I called the bar and they held on to it for me.
 
I left a .357 magnum on my wife's front seat once.
I forgot a dozen live eels for striped bass fishing in her back seat another night.

She can tell me I am not allowed in her car anymore, but she can't say I ever forgot my cue. No man...not ever.
