My mistakes are usually that I forgot gloves|hat|crampons|lunch|drink|<vital thing>
I now have a checklist that I carefully check against and actually tick stuff off with a pen (usually do this about 5:30 so needs to be easy to do!).
Edit: I also completely panicked once after a large noisy animal blundered into my tent in the middle of the night - was convinced it was a bear. Of course, there haven't been bears here in Scotland for a long time.... (I realised this in the morning when sanity returned - it was a red deer).
