Hahah yeah I used to work in a clothing store and I was shocked, shocked how many people just left everything on floor of the dressing room as they stripped it off, inside out and crumpled up and trampled on. Crazy! Even before that, I always returned things (to an associate or to the shelf) just cause that's what my mom taught me you know? It's so strange when you realize, to your shock, that people do things so differently!
Haha well that was okay I suppose cause.. well at least we had a special way to fold things so even if they re-folded it we'd have to do it again anyway lol.
Actually, I usually already have my keys in my hand before I even start to leave the building, I hand off the clothes neatly folded and/or back on their hangers to the sales associate (but if there isn't one, I hang 'em myself), and you forgot notebook. I always have to have a notebook and in a pinch, a Post-it or scrap piece of paper I can copy off onto a normal notebook later lol
No, I just hate fumbling for my keys when I'm out at my car or outside in the open...it's less about being prepared and more about not being vulnerable when I'm alone (if I'm digging for my keys, I'm not paying attention to my surroundings and I don't exactly live or work on the most wholesome part of town).
Yeah I tend to have the keys in hand as I'm walking out the door for sure and it wasn't until Sara (library Sara) mentioned that it was a safety issue that I realized it totally was. Of course when I'm with my mom and she's digging for hers it's an "impatience" issue instead. Hahaha.
Yesterday when I was walking to my car I was thinking about how my mom always waits until we get to the car to get out her keys. And as the person standing there waiting while she's fishing for them, it drives me banana-sandwich. Hehehe. Profound. ;)
I always push my chairs in because hate it when I'm in a crowded restaurant/classroom/ and it takes ten minutes to get to my seat because the chairs are scattered all over the place.
I used to write on everything, but I'd lose every scrap of paper I had important info on - I still totally do that. The funnest part is when you write something and then find it later and have no memory.
On the back of one of my assignments this semester I had scrawled, in bright red sharpie "barack obama distracts attention." It was definitely my writing, but I don't remember ever writing it. My theory is it's something I "doodled" while on the phone sometime and they probably weren't meant to go together to form a sentence as such. But it was still pretty funny!
I don't actually have a car, but I'm extrapolating from other situations in which I have to pull out my keys.
For the dressing room question, it actually depends on a combination of what infrastructure that particular store has in place and how much time I have. I always fold/hang the clothes neatly regardless. If I have time/plan on going back out into the store anyway/only have a few items/remember where I got them, I return them to the original rack or table. If there is a sales associate clearly for that purpose, waiting, I return the clothes to them. If there is instead a set of racks outside the dressing rooms, I put them there. And if there's none of the above and it's clear that leaving the clothes in the dressing room is relatively expected, I do that.
For notes: receipts, envelopes, torn-off corners of the nearest piece of paper. Tiny little post-it tags, particularly for books or for academic notes. The occasional turned-down page corner.
Haha wow I didn't think of so many different scenarios! And yeah the notes question started with writing utensil and then just morphed into something completely different... hence why it has no official question. Hahaha.

I used to write on everything, but I'd lose every scrap of paper I had important info on, hence my buying little notebooks and life is good.
I always fold clothes neatly - as neatly as I can manage, which isn't very neat - and then return them to a salesperson.
