Well, I'm glad that worked out well for you.

I only forget the gas...when I'm welding something absolutely critical. If I'm practising or just zapping something of no real consequence, I turn the gas on.

But any time a mate shows up and says something like "I have this hand-formed 1mm thick aluminium aircraft blister cowling that's 75 years old and utterly irreplaceable, do you think you could repair it?" ... THAT is when I will forget to turn the gas on.

That makes complete sense to me.

I prefer not to discuss the time I left the gas ON.

That is always a sad day. Out to the shop to weld something up quick. Go to turn on the gas and your first thought is who cranked this valve down because I can't open it? Then you realize it's already on! SOB I'm an idiot!

Sure glad I'm not the only one that's done that
