    I always loose fivers and tenners when I go out, think I lost a 50 as well one time....I'm the kinda person that gets bothered when I loose even a 2 euro coin, not because I really need the money, nor am I a tightarse...just sucks to loose money :D

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


    Did that once with 100 euro once,was sickening.:mad:

    It's worse when you think you have lost money, but they you realise you've had a visit from the beer fairy or spent it otherwise. All hopes of finiding the money go and then you get even more depressed.

    You seen this new plastic money? Not sure if they do it in euro's yet but i got a 10pound note that was plastic a few days ago. Asked the dude at subway if it was genuine and he said its how new money is being printed, pretty clever really.

    Never lost anything but I did find a purse out on the middle of a busy street that had over E100 in it. Everyone hadnt thought of picking it up because they all assumed that it was empty.
    Anyway my friend picked it up and actually wanted to keep it but i got her to ring up the local radio station and they announced it. Owner turned out to be a 14 year old girl that had lost it while she was out spending her birthday money. Gave it back and got E20 as a thank you.
    My father runs a taxi service and people are always dropping money on the floor and are too pissed to notice. We give anything over E10 to charity tho.

    I lost 50 quid about a month ago, went into HMV to get some stuff, put my hand in my pocket and had that dreaded feeling that my beloved 50 euro was not there, man it took me all day to get over it. I really need to get a wallet.

    Don't you just love it when you find what's left in your pocket after doing the laundry?

    When I was in college I drank 1.5 ltrs Bombay Saphire gin then passed out on my way home. When I woke up my phone, jewellery, wallet (containing €240 rent and cards) glasses and watch missing and there was a couple of sets of footprints in the mud around me.

    I once lost £10 one afternoon, it must have just fell out of my pocket. A bit annoying, especially since I was a poor student at the time, but I got over it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭missmatty


    A happier ending....
    Just after going to atm was walking down grafton street with 2 x 20 Irish pounds in my jacket pocket. Dunno why didn't use wallet. Anyway one of the notes goes flying out down the street unbeknownst to me and the second one i think was about to go too. Guy walking behind me runs up with the lost twenty and points out the imminent escape of the second. I was so surprised and grateful, i may be cynical but i think most ppl would have scarpered with both of them. It really brightened up my day and as a poor student at time i would have been hit hard by losing that dosh. Hope the good karma came back round to him

    Money is for the plebs. In my line of work freebies are the norm. Right now I am wearing a robe given to me by my learned brother Gucci, shoes from those lovely people at Nike and shades from the most Righteous Bono.

    Usually think I lose money and its usually €50 to €100. I have a habit when drunk of putting money under my mattress when I get in. So its a nice surprise when I find it. Received €100 in my bank yesterday. Went to a National Irish Bank and was taking out €100. It never came out of the machine. Took €80 and it came out. Rang the bank and then my bank to see if I could get it sorted but they said that everything added up. My account was down €100. That was about three months ago and was refunded yesterday. Happy days.

    has happened to me numerous times.

    Doesn't bother me. Can't understand why you'd get upset about it. It's gone, learn your lesson and move on, getting angry about it will do **** all

    Don't think I've ever lost money, except the usual "How did I spend that much??" syndrome the morning after.

    Worst was losing a €200 gift voucher I got from one of my last jobs on my last day when I was out for beers after. Must have fallen out of my back pocket when I was sauzzled on the beer.
