Lost Property

I think the only reason my baby has fair better than that copy of annie on my mind (which is held to gether by scottstape, microbe and tear stains) is that im a hugger and butterfly kisser. Most likely place you'll find her if im traveling with her, is pressed against or inside the bodice of my camisole so she is close to my heart.

I have found many purses, wallets, glassess and books left behind.

Allright, I confess. Sometimes when I fly, I'll leave my book or magazine behind. If its something I'm not going to read again, I'll rather leave it for the attendants to have - or is that sucky of me?? *panics*

Sextoys and cockrings? <shudder>

Mind you I'm not prudish about suchthings, but the thought of someone having to pick them up after they may or may not have been in recent use is just creeping me the @#$% right out.

Try finding crusty, skidmarked underwear right behind the soda machines...

Or a soiled diaper on a table.


Just.. people these days.

The neatest thing anyone has left behind recently is a puppet dragon that says "Bleah!" when you open his mouth.

"Bleah!"

Our hotel has a time limit on unclaimed items so the Bleah Dragon is mine in a week.

Oh is that the baby Einstein dragon??? LOL! There's a kid I've babysat for who LOVES that dragon! We say "BLAH! everytime it comes on the screen!!!

I have mother (old ratty teddy bear that i have sewn clothign for, preformed life saving surgery on and apparantly had a stroke around age 16 as she only has half a smile). *Rest of post also relevant*

I'm the exact same with my Ha-hin! The only time I didn't bring him with me was when I went to Cuba, for fear he might be mistaken for a gift for the kids we would be staying with.

He lost his tail 3 times (I need to resew it on one of those days, it's in my pen box!), the fur under his squished nose is gone (He was born smile-less), he has a scar on his stomach from when he donated fluff to help reconstruct Classic Zeddy's nose after the Peanut accident, and I still sleep with him safely tucked in my arms.

To those who laugh, try to sleep with big boobs and waking up with no back pain. Ha-hin is smaller and firmer than any goddang pillow. Perfect boob support.

He'll be 25 this year, just like me!

I have a bear my sister gave me for Christmas 20 years ago. Ted E Bear has been washed many, many times, has lost his scarf and hat and looks like he's been run over by a truck, but he goes everywhere w/ me. I too have a large chest and need to have something to wrap my arm around so I don't wake up with a back ache. Besides the physical need for him, I'm pretty attached to him emotionally too. He's been around for most of my marriage and is the one thing in life I can count on. Even my 13 year old knows not to mess with Ted.

"Oh, you have my bracelet! Thanks for holding my bracelet for me until I could come today to pick up my bracelet, which I left in the room! I'll just pick up my bracelet here and be on my way now! I'll certainly try not to leave my bracelet behind when I travel again. Thanks so much!"

My, sir, such slender wrists you have!

...and a much-faded crab an ex got me in Ocean City, Maryland.

Come down and visit me, I'll buy you a new one.

That's how I got the duck...she lived on my register for 2 weeks. I made clear to everyone that if no one claimed her she was mine. She's been living on my dashboard ever since (she's on her second car-home). Only problem is my car now has a slope-ier dashboard than my old car and she slides off more than she used to. I call her she cuz she has a pink tulip embroidered on her chest, but she doesn't really have a name.

My, sir, such slender wrists you have!

My thoughts exactly...

Come down and visit me, I'll buy you a new one.

Ooh, I could use a beachy getaway...Yeah, that crab used to be bright red but now he's a sickly orangey color... He lives in the back window so he gets lots of sun.


It amazes me how many people lose their glasses in a bookstore. We used to put them in a separate box after they'd been in the L&F a while and when it filled up we'd donate them to the Lion's Club.

Scariest thing I ever heard of being found in the store (Store1 but after I had transfered) was a gun. It was found in the men's room and turned out to belong to a New York police officer. I guess he took it out of his hip holster to do his business and left it in the stall. Luckily he came back for it pretty quickly. The person who found it called the manager and no one wanted to touch it. (Probably luckier for him that he came back before they had a chance to call the police...)

I can understand how you could leave a cane if you are using a shopping cart at the grocery store or wherever. My grandmother used to always push the cart because then she could lean on it and not have to deal with her cane, and later, the walker. So if you hang the cane on the cart while you're shopping I can see how you might leave it there when you get to the car. Though, we've had some canes in the bookstore, too, and we don't have carts...

I have another side to this story. Two sundays ago I was at work and since we had enough coverage up front I put my till in the drawer under the register and locked it. When I finally needed to hop on the register, HC "L" had the keys. She opened the HC drawer thinking I had put it in there and she pulled out a phone (one of those cute Chocolate's) and a GameBoy. L started muttering and cursing. After several random phrases, "I can believe he," "Oh I'm gonna kill him," she finally calmed down and told me what happened. Apparently some guy came in the day before and asked if anyone had found the phone. She checked the lost and found drawer (which is over at the service desk, things should never be put in the HC drawer cause only HCs have the keys) and called bookkeeping which is where we send anything we think is valuable. The guy told L he was going straight to the phone store to cancel the phone so we couldnt even call him to tell him we found the phone.

So why does this piss me off? Besides that this drawer ISN'T lost and found, we both think one of the other co-workers (another HC) put them both there so he could wait some time and say that no one had claimed them and take them home. Of course we can't prove this but this guy has the same phone service and he's been talking about how he wants a new phone.

Our cell phone charger collection fills two copier paper boxes. One lady insisted we FedEx'd hers to her when it would have been cheaper for her to go to the Alltel store.

I try to tell all my friends that if they ever lose their charger when they are traveling, they should just ask the desk clerk at the next hotel if they have a compatible charger. They will often just give it to you with their best wishes.

I too have a binkie myself. My wife got her for me for our four month anniversary; she's a 10 inch tall America Cares Bear (Care Bear) that I also sleep with every night. Last Valentines Day, I got my wife a 10 inch Love-A-Lot Bear (her favorite Care Bear) as well, and for our first Christmas together she got me a HUGE America Cares Bear (I think the 27 inch tall kind) that I'm guessing did not come cheap.

Glad to hear that I'm not some kind of freak because I'm a grown man who has a binkie.

Just be thankfull you weren't a member of an ER staff who had to remove a cockring that couldn't be pulled off or had to remove a toy from a certain orifice that someone hadn't read the directions for the proper safe use which would entail a lot of stretching. That is even far more disgusting and embarasing. Don't worry the maid staff has encountered far worse left behind by guests. They use gloves and other chemical sanitizers for a reason.
