I am comfortable in my skin and people who are not can just sit a little farther away from me on the bus.
I think people who ARE comfortable in my skin and are not me should keep WELL away. I've watched (and read) Silence of the Lambs!

Only piece of clothing I've ever forgotten has been my bicycle helmet. Putting it on is later in the process and it can be in several different places, making it more likely to be forgotten. But I think I've only actually forgotten it two or three times.
I don't wear my rings at home. When I get home and change out of my work clothes, I remove all jewelery, including my rings. If I leave the house without my rings, my hands feel weird all day.
System - no. Remembering that I need e.g. boots etc. yes.
I'm generally more concerned about forgetting keys - if I lack clothes I also lack keys, so that would hopefully be covered when I do my "pre-shutting the door" key check.

do not want to scare the horses...
I don't leave my home without taking keys, to ensure I can get back in again.
Keys live in a pocket.
I am not a marsupial, therefore any pockets I possess are attached to my clothes.
QED.

Yes. I call it 'getting dressed.'
I didn't used to but then one day
One day CHCH had a 7.1 earthquake at 4.30am on 4th Sept and as at today we have had 7000+ quakes.
I have an emergency kit in my car with clothes for several days, sleeping bag, pillow, essentials, Water. Bag of food in the house

Saw a clip the other week from the French film Le Nom des Gens in which a character is in the shower. The phone goes as she gets out and starts talking. She then realises she has to go somewhere and sets off. Gets on a train, finishes her phone call, and then wonders why everyone is staring at her.

I do have a pair of "Emergency Pants" near the front door.
Some ritualists just get dressed when they get out of bed.
... I have walked down two flights of stairs, left the building, and then turned round and gone back again to put my shoes on
I used to have a mantra "glasses, watch, and ring" which I repeated from rising to departing. I haven't needed it since retirement.
I have had to go back inside to change from slippers to shoes. On other occasions, I have said "Fukit" and worn the slippers. They do have soles and could disguise themselves as clogs.
Not a ritual for wearing clothes, no... I believe the nightmares are sufficent as preventative measures.
I do have a ritual for enumerating the things I need to put into the clothes; bus pass, keys, change, wallet, pen knife, pens, lanyard (with ID and keycard for the office), sunglasses, headset, laptop.
-- Steve actually enumerates each aloud, as two cases of being unable to enter the office at the end of his commute put the "bare ass" in embarasment for him.

I'm one of the "what an odd question" people, but I need to develop a system for ensuring that when I get up from the computer, I switch the computer glasses for the everything-else glasses. The computer glasses are still fairly new, and there are times I don't realize I've forgotten until I get outside and everything at a distance is way too fuzzy.
I'd just as soon not discover if I really can drive while wearing the computer glasses.

It's a very rudimentary system, consisting of looking down at myself with my hand on the doorknob, but it works. I've caught myself wearing pajama pants and house slippers any number of times now.
I have a ritual for making sure that the clothes I put on are clean and not on the clean pile by mistake, and have not developed rips or other fatal flaws since the last time I wore them. It's called: "Look in the mirror after the last second, when you are already late, and panic."
I haven't had one of those dreams in ages.
I have left the house without keys--on one memorable occasion, with a two year old alone on the other side of the automatically-locking door and no one else home*, which led to my adding "check for keys" to my opening-the-front-door routine. I still occasionally find myself at the grocery store without a purse or wallet.
Sometimes I neglect to change out of my jammie pants, but since I wear sweat pants in the winter and longish shorts in the summer, as long as I'm not going anywhere fancy it doesn't really matter much.
*I broke a window to get back in, of course. He's eleven now and seems unscarred by it, but I will never, ever forget it.

Yes, it's the current weather system.
