Something’s not right

TIFU.

TIFU.

I talked a couple of weeks ago about how I was constantly losing things, and it’s very frustrating for me not to be able to organise myself.

It got much worse. My Mum bought me a new jacket. I liked it. I wore it to work. On the bus home from work, I took it off. I had to change buses, and left my jacket on the bus without realising.

I also left my headphones in the office, same as last time.

However, the worst thing is that I had my wife’s watch in the inside pocket. She’s overseas, and I had the idea of taking her watch with me, to remember her by. And now I’ve lost it.

I mean the first thing I did was make a report with the bus company. I described the colour, the material, distinguishing features, I described exactly where I was sitting and when and where I got off the bus. If their lost property system is worth its salt, they are going to find it. However, that’s a lot to hope for.

I’m really ashamed of myself for losing it. I don’t want to show my face. I really don’t want to tell her that I’ve lost it.

I’m hopeless, but this time it doesn’t just affect me, it affects her as well.

Re: TIFU.

Sounds like you have a lot on your mind. Could this be the reason you are forgetting things? @florencefifty

I hope that otherwise, things are okay.

Morning @florencefifty

I have a tendency to loose things as well, as in I can walk into my unit and within 2 seconds I can't find wallet, phone, glasses or keys. It generally takes me 45mins eachday to leave the house, which is all spent on trying to find stuff. People have suggested hooks and bowls etc for me to put things in, you should see my place I am awash with bowls etc. I have invested in key chains for everything so everything is literally tied to me and it works.....

Hi @florencefifty

I know it is so frustrating to lose things constantly. All I can say is that they are only things, and that people are worth much more.

Hope you're ok and forgiving of yourself.

Re: TIFU.

How are you @florencefifty ?

We don't tend to hear from you after your initial posts - until the next thread. Hope everything is okay.

Are you alright with people responding to your posts?
