Don't be embarrassed, I do the same! HAHA! Even on my Subarus! In fact, the parts guy at the Subaru dealer told me they can be reused. To me it's not about the cost. For some reason I tend to get everything else, but forget the crush washer until I'm halfway into the oil change. I haven't had any leaks either.

EXACTLY!
(I basically got lazy and didn't bother to explain...but typically that's exactly what happens to me! And probably a lot of other people too..)
