Title: Thought I'd lost my wallet
Post by: debidoo on November 06, 2018, 07:29:32 am
Whew I had a scare thinking since yesterday that I lost my wallet.  Today I calmed down and reached way under the car seats and found it.  No cash in it anyway but drivers license credit cards and a book of checks.  I was getting really freaked out.  Have you ever mislaid something and then thankfully found it?

Whew, I know how that feels!  Years ago I left my purse in my grocery cart and drove away.  I had a lot of groceries to load and it was a horrendous wintery day.  Snowing and wind blowing!  All I could think of was to get in the car and get home.
Luckily, there was an honest person!  I called about 20 minutes later and the store reported that a purse had just been turned in.  Not only that, everything had not been touched.  Can you believe it?  There are trustworthy people who do the right thing!  Remember that in today's world!

Just last week I left my cell phone (which is also my wallet with my DL and three debit cards) in the top rack of the shopping cart at the grocery store about five miles from my house. I left it in the cart return stall in the parking lot. I couldn't find it when I got home and immediately knew where I'd left it (checked on my wife's phone to be sure because we both use the Life360 app to keep track of each other).  So I drove back to get it and there were two other shopping carts pushed in line into the one still carrying my phone.

I would be so upset it is awful when you lose something like that.

I did and was glad i came across it, not a good feeling, knowing you had something and then, its gone, calming down and retracing your steps helps.

So glad you found it. it's a scary thing to lose it.  I would hate to lose the money, but more importantly all the cards (drivers license, debut card, credit cards, insurance cards, etc). That's a pain to have to call everyone to replace them.  Happy you found yours.

I left my money at the checkout counter and left without picking it up. I had just gotten paid too. Luckily, there was a good person whom was the cashier and she took it to lost and found and the money was all there. Boy was I relieved.

Glad you were able to find your wallet.  It would have been such a pain to have to replace all your credit cards and your driver's license.

Oh, yes.I know the feeling. Not often but it happens. I lost my keys one time and was awful.

One of our guys at work thought he had lost his wallet.  I helped him get all of his licenses and certification replaced.  About a week after getting it all replaced, he found it under one of the truck seats.

Yes, but most time when I can calm myself down and re-trace my steps I find what I misplaced; I find if I am over anxious, I cannot think clearly and then I just go around in circles! Happy you found your wallet, that would have anyone upset.

My husband lost his phone once and we just couldn't find it anywhere. After a while, it got really scary. We called it and everything but couldn't hear it ring. We knew it had to be around the house somewhere because he remembered using it last at home and we hadn't been anywhere since. We both searched for literally 8 house and found it outside. He had dropped in in the flower garden while walking by.

I'm so happy for you that you found your wallet.  That's a stress that nobody needs.  I don't recall misplacing wallets, credit cards or anything of that sort.  If I ever did, I blocked the scary memory right out of my mind because I don't remember a time when that ever happened.

Speaking of my mind; there was the time when I lost my mind and was ever so happy when I finally got it back.   :silly:

I am pretty sure I *did* lose my wallet. I was at a show last night and this morning I can't find my wallet!! Looked everywhere. Left a message with the theater so hopefully someone found it and turned it in. I leave for vacation in a week, so the timing is really terrible.

Somehow I once left my wallet at the cash register in the grocery store.  Didn't see it fall.

Called the store, and a man had found it and turned it in to customer service. They called me.

I am so grateful to that man, whoever he is.  My heart was pounding so fast on the way to go back and pick it up.

:turkey:   :snowman:   :turkey: That's a scare, glad you found your wallet. I have misplaced many items, some items more important than others. Seems like when I'm not looking for that item anymore I find that item.  :turkey:   :snowman:   :turkey:

I am so glad that you found your Wallet. I misplace a lot of things quite often. If I do not calm down first before I look for what I misplaced, I would never find it.

There's a lot of work involved to replace wallet contents...driver's license, credit and debit cards, your
Breadsmith punch card. I lost my debit card three times in one year.  The bank finally started charging me for replacements.

That has to be the worst thing that can happen too a person. I got mine stolen one time but I did get it back but all the cash was gone. I think the worst part is losing all your cards and having to get them replaced.
