Laptop Drive
Arriving at your destination without some key piece of equipage is of course highly embarrassing. Think ski-lift-no-skis/boots/poles or perhaps golf-course-no-clubs. The modern workday version is forgetting your laptop at home.
This is, of course, no particular issue for those of us freed from the confines of a traditional office. (The last sentence is highly ironic, but I'll spare you the details).
Who knew, but the round-trip drive to retrieve said laptop from said house is known as Doing the Laptop Drive of Shame.
Now, without reveling any exculpatory details, but also without revealing any identities, I can say with a reasonably high level of confidence that there is a vacation version of the "Drive of Shame" as well as a trans-continental commute version.
Please folks, protect yourself. Check your computer bag before you bolt out the door.
