I try not to count the number of times I've either (a) forgotten to bring by cellphone charger on a trip, or (b) left my cellphone charger in a hotel room on a trip. Tricks of the Trade points out the convergence of these two occurrences by mentioning that hotels frequently keep all those forgotten cellphone chargers in a lost-and-found box at the front desk—apparently, a lot of hotels will loan (or just give you) a charger from the box, so maybe one will fit your phone. (I'm not sure if they have a similar policy for laptop power adapters and video-out cables, but the next time this happens, it'll be worth checking on. I spent a full day in Tampa trying to track down a power cable for my PowerBook a couple of years ago.)
