I have no trouble checking settings on appliances every time I use them. I can't think of any exceptions to this. The dishwasher is the trickiest since we almost always use it on the same settings, but I still check it every time. I don't think of any of our other appliances as even having any default settings. (We don't have a washing machine, but I don't even use laundromat machines on the same settings every time, so I doubt I'd perceive a default setting if we did have one.)
I definitely leave my keys and wallet in the same place at home all of the time, almost without exception. (Sometimes the wallet migrates to my desk if I buy something online.) My phone floats around with me but I tend to only occupy a few different places in my apartment (the couch, the bed, the desk, the bathroom) so it's usually easy to locate. Also I've found it so many times that I think my eyes are trained to readily pick out that particular rectangle from the environment.
