My sensible precautions list

Make sure you do not need the toilet before stepping into a lift. If you drop something pick it up before a packrat or a magpie sees it. A good book is always worth having when in a waiting room, Waiting for a bus or train, Or outside a clothes shop waiting for a partner or friend, To finish trying on everything in the shop. Learn animal sign language, For early warning of Earthquakes, floods and twisters. Make a list of everything you give for free to the charity shop, So you do not end up buying some or all of the items back. Be prepared to make a run for it if you hear the words, "Is this of any use to you". Check potential partners for signs of hoarding. When you child says but Dad, Always best to stop what you are doing, As chances are you are about to make a dumb mistake, That can be used against you for years. Always have a pencil in your pen drawer, As finding a pen that works, When you need one is never a given. Planning a trip ahead of time, Leaves more hair on your head.
