So yeah, pretty much pulled the stupidest "D'oh!" moment of my life thus far tonight.

Around Saturday night I went into a panic because I could not find my wallet, which had my drivers license, school ID, ATM card, credit card, library card, and a host of other important s**t.

I looked all around the house, and when I could not find it, I assumed that I must've dropped it on the road somewhere downtown when I was heading back from the Safeway Friday night (which was the last place where I had used it).

So immediately I start calling Safeway, the local taxi service, and even the police. No one said that they saw anything.

So this morning, I start calling around, first to the school to get my ID replaced, then to the bank, who canceled my debit card account and are in the process of sending me a new one in a few days. I also tried to get Mom to take me to the DMV, but she was busy (and the DMV is halfway out of town, way to far to walk esp. in a blizzard.)

So I'm still kind of stressed this evening, after I had eaten dinner, and I went to go #2 in the bathroom. I reach down to the side of the toilet for the TP, and leaning right up against the porcelain was a brown leather wallet. MY wallet.

I'm a freaking idiot.

I've done this. My auntie very nearly reported her car stolen once because she couldn't find it. This kind of thing is very common. Sorry to disappoint you but you are not an idiot

My wallet fell behind my dresser and was stuck against the wall. I thought my youngest brother took it so I kicked his ass until he gave me my $60.00 back. He gave me "my" money back so I would stop choking him. The next day after I dropped a comb behind the dresser I found my wallet with all my cash still in it. I gave him his sixty dollars back plus an additional $20.00 for his trouble. :oops:

I once spent most of an evening tearing the place apart, desperately trying to find my door keys, and getting into more and more of a panic about it.
My neighbour rang the doorbell so I answered the door - to find my keys still in it, on the outside.

Sometimes, it's a wonder how I manage to walk and think at the same time... :oops:

These things happen... usually to me! Don't worry about it. You're not an idiot, you just had a bad moment.

I couldn't find my id badge and even resorted to crawling underneath the car in the garage to look for it. When my mom and I went to my room to look again, I spotted the lanyard underneath an old homework assignment. :oops: My mom didn't see it, so I clumsily tried to talk her into going back downstairs, because I could look for it by myself (even though I begged her to help in the first place.). I grabbed the lanyard as soon as she was out of site and waited three minutes before yelling AHA! and running downstairs. I told her that I found it in the bathroom, but she saw through me like I were a window.

Sometimes my mom looks for the remote while it's in her hand.


I suppose it's like when you can never find a fast food restaurant when you want to eat, but you can't stop seeing them when you don't.
