Not being able to find your wallet, but not quite sure where you could have lost it.
I went to the grocery store after work and carried in just my wallet and cell phone. I know I had it then because I paid for the groceries and walked out. But what happened to it from there, I have no idea. About three hours later, I realized it was gone and after calling the grocery store, scouring the house, the car, and even driving back up to the grocery store to take a spin around the parking lot and harass the cart boy…still no wallet.
So I jumped online and checked my accounts. No activity, which is awesome, but then I had to call my bank and two credit card companies. All made it very easy, except Victoria’s Secret who only takes calls during regular business hours, so I just hope whomever found my wallet doesn’t decide to go on a panty shopping spree tomorrow morning before I can call and cancel it.
I didn’t have much cash on me – just $10 and some change – but I did have a $50 Macy’s gift card, a $25 JC Penney’s gift card and a bunch of loyalty cards/rewards cards. Not to mention my driver’s license which is going to be a HUGE pain the ass to replace. Unless someone has done this before and knows of a way to do this without going into the DMV?
I keep hoping I’ll find my wallet somewhere crazy, like in the freezer, or in the cabinet with the canned goods, or maybe with the recycled grocery bags. But no, I already checked all of those places and I feel a little like a senile old woman for honestly not remembering if I picked it up out of the cart, if I threw it back in my purse, if I dropped it in a grocery bag, or if I carried it upstairs and stuck it in my shoe.
So yeah, losing your wallet sucks.
Oh, that sucks! Matt left his debit card at a bar on Friday, and he had to call and cancel it (we were too far from the bar to turn around when he realized it, and they never seem to answer the phone…). But that was just one card; I can’t imagine losing everything in my wallet!
I understand how you feel. Sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind because I can’t remember what I did with something I was just holding like my keys. Then I will find out I did something stupid like leave them in the freezer or I threw them in trash can!
Good luck! I hope you find them!
Oh man, I should’ve checked the trash can.
That is the WORST! But thank goodness nobody used them before you were able to cancel everything!
Maybe Champ decided to chew on it since it smelled like groceries?
DMV is a huge pain in the ass and I sadly don’t know a way to get it replaced without going there. Just remember to take the 5 million pieces of paper/forms of ID they require to get it done so that they don’t get all snarky on you. (My least favorite think besides the dentist is a trip to the DMV.)
Ahh, my heart is aching for you and the trip to the DMV- I really hate that place with a passion. In fact, I still have my old address on mine (which I’m sure is illegal) cause I don’t have an extra 2 hours to waste to get it changed!
So sorry, darlin! Guess you’ll have to start to carry around a big ole bulky purse like me- a brightly colored one- so you don’t forget it!
I lost my wallet right before I was going on vacation. I freeeaked, because my bank wouldn’t express me a new debit card, I couldn’t pull out a ton of cash ’cause it was not yet payday. Fortunately, Discover overnighted me a new card AND gave me a temporary credit limit bump. Good lord, I love them.
THEN.
I came home from vacation and found my wallet sitting on top of the cat litter box.
WTF?!
