Does your husband do this? Drives me nuts

Yes, occasionally 

Mine asks if I need anything, tell him what I need and he NEVER comes back with it. Always "I completely forgot". I've just stopped asking.

Mine rarely asks if I need/want anything and usually it's only something specific to the place he is going (i.e. if he is going to Dunkin Donuts, he will ask if I want something, but wouldn't stop somewhere else to get toilet paper)....I'm not sure which I would rather have.

Thankfully, no.

But I have started taking photos of items and texting them to him in order to assure he brings home the correct item.

When DH asks me that, I know I need to check our milk supply to be sure there's enough (according to DH) for him to drink later on. He also uses that question as an excuse to stop at the store to pick up something snacky or desserty, depending on how he feels at the time. Or something fun for supper~ he's very susceptible to food ads!

If I ask mine to PU something while he is out, he has a list of reasons why he just can't do that.

He is getting better (after 40 years).

Yes, I've started to prequalify my answer with an "if you're going to play 20 questions about it, I need nothing".

My dh is great about shopping and picking up something I want--even going out of his way to get me something to eat that I want. (he worries about me not eating enough, so if there's something I crave, he's thrilled to get it) 

Dh is the type that goes out for a gallon of milk or to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range and comes back with half the merchandise at Target or spends 2 hours at TJ Maxx. --not that I'm complaining about the great pasta roller machine he found last night at TJ Maxx and two jars of my favourite jam (we've been talking about getting a pasta machine for a while but haven't found one we liked. This one is Italian and very good quality with 3 different rollers on one machine.
.
I do roll my eyes at all the groceries and stuff from Target or Walmart--sometimes a new tech goody, two shelving units on sale (I'll use them in my art studio later), and great deals on open box returns--electronics and our beloved espresso machine--$1200 retail, for less than $250. Oh and speakers for his surround sound system--he says he brings home different ones to "see what I like", but I can't tell a lot of difference in different speaker systems since I'm partly deaf in one ear. I have told him to stop buying $$ electronics without consulting me--unless it's his mad money from his annual bonus. 

I do have to give him a list--he is super stressed from work, and I would forget more than two items as well if I didn't write them down.

I purposely don't ask my DH to bring me anything if it is out of his way. I'll ask him to bring me something if it's something from the place he is going to  so it won't be difficult for him. First he has to write it down what I want and ask a million questions and then when he is in the store he'll call just to make sure or because he forgot the list
I just want to hit him..lol

DH doesn't debate what I ask for, he just often gets the wrong thing or way more of whatever it is. I have to be very specific in writing if it is more than one item.

What bugs me is him asking me 10 times for the same outing if I need anything? If I say, no, it's no. I thought about it and I don't want anything. I suppose it is supposed to be sweet but when you interrupt me over and over again to ask if I need anything from the store, it isn't helpful.

Mine is the opposite, I'm like "I need an avocado and he comes home with three bags of produce.

I need an iced coffee and I'll get a dozen donuts, iced coffee, a bag of ground coffee and a breakfast sandwich for good measure.

Drives me bonkers.

Yes girl, yes.

Ah, the old "but I got you this machine so I'd never have to do that chore again" routine.

...then forgets the item or brings the wr ong thing.


And if it is something prepared like coffee or whatever, this is usually following a debate about how much better whatever I want will be if he makes it for me. Sweet thought but noooooo!
