I thought I would start this thread to see what comes out of the woodwork.
My common "most annoying" thing I do is get fully togged up, headscarf, helmet, glasses on, GoPro plugged in and set up (if I am using it), gloves with inner liners on, key in the ignition, jacket done up, Sat Nav loaded with the destination, everything done, everthing, ready to roll and then Aaaarrrgggghhhh, no bloody ear plugs fitted!
Sometimes I have the mind of a Goldfish and it drives me nuts, especially on a hot day where you just want to get moving and get a bit of a breeze on.

+1
My other is sitting on it, waiting it to warm up, then kicking it in gear with the side stand still extended and killing the motor.

Since getting the NC 750X I keep forgetting to get my Ray Bans out of the "frunk" before starting. Take key out of ignition and open the frunk to fetch the shades.

The other people I'm riding with staring at me with perturbed glares because they are ready to go while I am meticulously going through my gearing-up process so as not to forget my ear plugs, or keys, or the pre-ride poo, etc.

You just gave me an idea Redbirds. When my NC gets here I'm going to build a knob/key for the frunk like I did for my ST 1300 saddlebags. Get a key made, grind the head down so it fits in a plastic bottle lid and epoxy the key in there. Then just leave the knob/key in the frunk since I'm not away from the bike 99% of the time. If leaving the bike just take out the knob/key and put it in my pocket.
Example

another example using a coke bottle cap
