I don't think I can fill in the first half of the poll because I don't have a real feel for the numbers. Generally people are reliable enough at this sort of thing that I forgive them if they forget. And if it's actually important I don't ask people to do things in this way.
I sometimes leave reminders and sometimes just remember: but if it's a "do it when you get back to your desk" thing you can't exactly leave a reminder other than by writing on the back of your hand, which you might not have a suitable implement for. And I do suggest people might email me when I think I'm likely to forget, but it's not their fault if they don't: specifically I can't see how they're *more* at fault for forgetting to remind me than I am for forgetting to do it.
I entirely forgot to not-eat-fish on Tuesday and Wednesday, when I'd thought I would remember. I'm not quite sure how I would have reminded myself of that one.
I couldn't really leave it on my hand for the whole two weeks between getting the letter and the time I had to start not-eating-fish though. I should have set my calendar to remind me on Tuesday morning or something.

I write things like that on my hand. Though usually only the first letter, and then I sometimes forget what it stands for.
