How many of you lost cash from your pockets ?

entropi

Just realised about 5 mins ago i lost 20 euro while i came back from spar, and i'm f**king fuming atm :mad:

Anyone ever had the misfortune of this happening, and how much ?

bluto63

Most I've lost is €15. I was pretty mad :mad:

JC 2K3

Lost €50 once.

It sucked.

Losing money like that is really annoying

Snowbie

I'm always losing cash... mostly when I have a few jars on board...:mad:

Dooom

Lost €100 before. Was well pissed for a good while after.
That said, a few days ago I found a wallet with €160 in it. I could've done the evil thing and kept it, but I decided to be nice and handed it in to the shop it was outside.

C'mon good karma...

I lost €10 once, I was raging. Nothing more apart from that.

I've lost a few €50 notes in the past. Didn't annoy me too much at the time, just taught me to use my wallet more often.

I lost a fin off my surfboard yesterday..
It's somewhere in the atlantic ocean. At least I know it's pointless to try to look for it.

Never have. I'm convinced a lot of people who've 'lost' something from their pockets were actually pick-pocketed but have the opinion of themselves that they'd never get caught out like that.

Lost some notes a few times, mostly due to drunken stupidity. Wasn't too bothered though. I remember finding a £1 note many many many moons ago, my mother thought I robbed it and stuck it in the trocaire box. I never forgave her.

i'd never hand it into the shop or even a garda station. if it was a wallet with id i'd find the owner myself. if there was no id i'd leave my number with the shop staff so the owner could contact me. too many untrustworthy people out there.

i was interrailling over the summer. we'd stayed in two hostels and i'd paid for them with my credit card and my friends had paid me back in euro (€225). we were in zurich so euro was useless and i didn't want to carry it around so i left it under my matress. two days later we were at the station waiting for the train to vienna (a ten hour journey) which was leaving in 20 minutes. i suddenly realised i'd forgotten it all. luckily enough i got a nice taxi driver who broke a few speed limits when i told him what happened. managed to turn a 15 minute one way journey into 20 minutes both ways. the room had been cleaned but the cleaner didn't notice the money when she made the bed.

paid the taxi driver in euro cos i had no other money. he was happy to get €45 for a €20 fare

I'm almost certain that I lost about 30 euro last night. I'm not particularly pleased about it at all.

25, when i was 16 and poor

bad times

Dropped a tenner in work yesterday. Meh, it's only a tenner.

A few months back I dropped €120 whilst taking off my overalls. Walked out of the job, was halfways home and realised...I'm really pissed, it's late in the evening, pissing rain, I bike it like mad back to the job and there's the roll of 20s sitting in the middle of the floor with guys just walking past it. I had some grin on my face walking back out.

20 here, 50 there

tman

Never lost any:)

went to the shop the other day and spotted a fiver on the ground on the way home... I would've spotted it on the way to the shop, so i reckon i must have dropped it in the first place.
that's about as close as i've come to losing money

Never lost any.
As for finding money, I always report/hand it in to the nearest place I can.

angelbaby

lost 30euro once n a couple of tenners.what i hate more is when some bar staff think you're p*ssed and decide their entitled to your change.:mad:

trout

ever lose cash and then find it again weeks later ?

man ...i always do that ... it feels real bad when you lose it, but when you find it again weeks later, it feels so good ....like you'd nearly do it on purpose:rolleyes:

worst of all is losing cash somewhere like a shop or pub, and knowing that somebody has picked it up and kept it for themselves ... same as stealing tbh

JackieChan

Lent my g/f €200 about 6 months, she then went and lost her purse with the full amount in it:(

I remember when I was young(this was at least 20 years ago)I went to the butchers with £20 and lost it.
My parents were scraping by at the time. I remember my family searching for about an hour between my house and the shop looking for the money...that goes to show how hard up we were.:mad:

So as pissed off as I was about the 200 loss when I thought back to that day as a child it but things in to perspective....I wasn't going to starve because of it.

not really tbh. can you imagine what would happen if you announced "i just found €50. anyone lose it?"

if its a wallet or a large sum of money i'd hand it in but anything 50 or below is fair game

Pepe LeFrits

Went to an ATM once to withdraw a tenner and left it there, that was clever

Probs mention it to the bar staff who could say "sum of money lost"

Niseillat

Yes. It is painfull when you just keep wishing you could have blown it on something stupid instead.

150 Euo when locked

Have to agree. What you loose on the swings you'll find on the roundabouts.
I'll need some large roundabouts to make up for the losses I've amounted on the swings!!

Are you sure that didn't go on the extra couple of packs of ciggys,couple of extra rounds(that you don't remember), an abrekebabra and a taxi home and don't forget the dependable 40 euro in coin change in your pockets.
