In my first year of officiating I forgot my stripes for Pop Warner football one Saturday morning. Fortunately I only lived about 1/2 mile from the field and had time to rush home and back. I've been pretty anal about having everything ready ever since then.
I carry extra whistles & lanyards to my games. Sure enough, about once every couple years, I've had a partner who has forgotten one, the other or both and I help them out, and by extension myself, by giving them one. Sadly, I've never had a partner I helped out pay for or replace the "borrowed" equipment.
