Currently sat at desk 'beltless' too.... luckily my trousers fit so no falling down here.
Yeah, I seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. It's probably just dysentry or cancer or something. Normally I'd leave my belt in the office but last night I took my trousers home for a wash (That's another troublesome thing to keep track of, how many times have the work trousers been worn and when to take them home), with the belt still through the loops by mistake.
Bra - sports bar and work top not a good look.
/nods in agreement.
I only used to carry my shirt with me (kept the rest of my clothes there or wore them, depending on the job/commute). Have had to buy a shirt in the past though... Took trousers home to wash and forgot the clean pair, think I spent the whole day not getting up from my desk due to the Lycra shorts / suit combo.
I forgot my trousers last year... shirt, tie, muddy humvees wasn't a look I was aiming for so I took the morning off, went for a long bike ride that included nipping back home and picking up some trousers, and went back in at lunchtime.
I've done the two left shoes thing.
They were both brown, so thought I might get away with it, but after 30 minutes I was about crippled. Borrowed someones company car to drive home.
Tights, all my spares are laddered
Stoner has made a good suggestion which got me thinking. I eventually found a Cisco serial cable which if folded up twice and a small knot at the back, fits perfectly.
I just need a gender bender now.
my list and solutions include:
- shoes = walk around in socks
- belt = buy new one
- cufflinks = paperclips or roll up sleeves
- two left shoes = walk funny
- towel = use paper towels
- toiletries = use hand soap as shower gel, shampoo, hair gel and toothpaste
- laptop = do no work that day
worst thing ive forgotten is my id.
Forgetting socks is a right pain. At the time I cycled to work in trainers with no socks on (scummy student at the time) and had to spend the start of the day walking around in smart shoes and no socks until I got a to nip out for some socks. I worked in Currys at the time, so lots of customers and lots of walking around the shop floor. 
Ever since, I've always left a spare couple of pairs in my locker.
I'd definitely not recommend forgetting the keys for your bike lock too.

it appears most of you have forgotten your cars 
all these spares could be kept in your car instead of taking up space at work, silly people! 
cufflinks = paperclips or roll up sleeves
What you need (speaking from experience) are treasury tags:
Natty, eh!
Also never underestimate the stupidity of a driver!
I had a blast at lunchtime and riding back to the office I pulled alongside a car made eye contact with the driver through the passenger window and 5 seconds later as the road turns left he pulls in so tight he almost hit the curb, luckily I had backed off slightly.
I usually go for the more subtle appraoch of taking the motorbike in but forgetting my work shoes, so I end up wearing a fetching combo of suit, tie and Sidis with big white ceramic toe protectors.
Tres distrait!
Have also left my keys in the door, but went back to retrieve them. Much worse was leaving the factory keys and my alarm fob at home one Saturday. Knowing that 3 departments are waiting outside a locked building adds motivation 
towel = use paper towels
Tricky where I am now. We only have these, and they're in full view of the door:
