Losing stuff

cloud493

Today, when I was walking home from swords, due to events, I lost two games. I am ****ing gutted chaps(and lasses). Have you ever lost anything round and about, phones or what have you, that you've been gutted about?

*Not literally gutted, before someone makes the obvious AH joke
**Not virginity either.

What games did you lose?
"Walk home from Swords as fast as you can" games?

Were you playing I-Spy?

I mean games I actually bought, from the shops.

What sort of idiot buys games of I-Spy?

And what sort of brazen shopkeeper is selling them?

Ive lost 2 iPhones this year, an iPod, a sat nav and a 3DS.

There's two scumbags on the street somewhere getting great craic out of Buckaroo and Operation now in between heroin fixes.

"Some buzz outta this fella with the red nose, wha?"

They were in a paper bag. It rained, I had headphones in, the bag ripped, didn't notice the games fall out.

That's because there was nothing in the bag in the first place! The shopkeeper saw you coming and decided to try to sell you a game of I-Spy. You were conned.

Would you like to buy some magic beans?

I once left a mobile on the sink in a restaurant toilet. In Florida...

Went home, looked everywhere for it, remembered I put it down and didn't pick it back up. Was midnight, restaurant was an hour away and I was flying home the next day

I lost €20 and found it over three months later.

Swords is a bit like the bermuda triangle for losing stuff, I'm from there but have yet to see any of my siblings or friends hold onto a phone on a night out-and not from being stolen even,the pubs have magnetic seats or something.
I am obsessed with watches, particularly casios and especially g-shocks. Have recently realised I can't find two old ones-one I only remembered from some photos I pulled out, which I guess got lost between house moves in 2008/2009..bugging the hell out of me still.

Lost a 4th gen iPod, in London I think. I don't miss it all that much, just wish I'd enabled the "find my iPod" feature so I could've may found it or at least erased it.

Lost my sunglasses. They were also polarized prescription ones! I was sure I left it in my car's dash...

I lost my mind a long time ago. I'm just a stupid fat piece of ****.

Expensive jackets and phones. And glasses too. Getting contacts was a smart move. Now I only wake up in them sometimes thinking OH MY GOD MY EYES. It's all good though.

How Soon Is Now

I remember as a kid on more then one occasion bringing toys to bed with me and falling asleep leaving them somewhere in the bed next to me. Id wake up and they would have vanished !!! No where to be found look all over me room all over the house no sign anywhere. To this day I've still idea where they went.

You can make it up by spending the 30,000 you were wingeing about later on. Oh poor me losing stuff even though I am now loaded.

I left my scarf on the bus last year. I was gutted, but it was actually handed in to the lost and found of dublin bus.
