That awkward moment when an ex-workmate asks when I'm next playing, as he wants to get back into airsoft again.
Nice bloke, but very much Gen-Z / Facebook generation. Thinks airsoft toys should just work, has never even split his M4, won't do his own research, is constantly asking what he needs to buy and from where and how long it will take to arrive...
This is why I far prefer going alone, it can be bad enough just sorting out your own kit issues of a morning without feeling responsible for the guy who'll rock up at 10-to-briefing-o'clock with his hop rubbers dried up, batteries flattened, and gas mags pissing propane.

I offer advice, but I don't parent them. I'll give friends my advice, but I won't coddle them and make sure they've taken care of everything (as you said, it's hard enough to remember all my kit, let alone someone else's. I always forget my hot sauce for my lunchtime burger!). Mistakes are a fantastic teacher.

If the past year and a half has taught me anything, it's to just say it like it is and save yourself the time. If he doesn't like it then I doubt he'll be bothering you anymore, or he'll 'get it' and stop doing the bits that irk you (perhaps needing a nudge from time to time as a reminder). Either way, problem solved.
I get it's very easy to say, and awkward social interactions can be pretty painful... but don't let crap like this hinder your enjoyment of anything, irrelevant of what it is. -
