Hunt the ST - an international break game...

[Sean Thornton]

Mrs Mobile always hides her car keys in a "safe place" whenever we go on holiday. For a week after we get back, I imitate a taxi driver.

Payment in kind?

It will be in, or near to, the first place he started to look for it. This is most commonly the case with lost objects.

What happens is, you automatically go to the most obvious place first, but if you don't do a thorough search there (maybe it's hidden by something that has also been left there since) you start to look in less obvious places. As the panic grows, you start looking in even less and less likely places.

this. I started a job on Monday for which I need to use my own laptop. Sunday afternoon, I went to check that it was all ready with the right stuff installed on it. Couldn’t find it anywhere. Turned the fucking house upside down.

It was underneath the sofa. Where I’d left it the day before.

It will be in his secondary wallet.
The one where you put all the cards that you don’t want to carry around in your main wallet but don’t throw away because it might come in handy one day.
There it will remain with his Blockbuster’s video rental card and his Bank of Cairo Jax pass until such some time as he receives another card that’s not important enough for the primary wallet.

See I do actually have a place for secondary wallet items (well, a main one, I think there's also a secondary, secondary wallet stash), which, was fairly recently (before lost season ticket) culled.

However it currently contains the following:

• Junior Blades Membership card for said 2.5yo x2
• Season Ticket for said 2.5yo
• Various supermarket 'loyalty' cards
• Morrisons Miles cards x6
• Nectar Card
• Decathlon Card x2
• Boots advantage card
• 3 different Riley's membership cards
• Caxton FX card x3
• Connect by Hertz card
• Forklift training 'licence'
• National Insurance Card
• G Casino Card
• Genting Casino Card
• JTF Membership Card
• Viraaj Loyalty Card x4
• Ikea Family Card
• Various unused and expired debit cards
• B&Q Gift Card
• Costa Card
• Sheffield Libraries Card
• Expired Camra card x2
• Revolut Card
• Turners Bottle Shop Loyalty Card

Which I have of course been through about 10 times, in case every check I've somehow missed my season ticket

Ha, I've got one full of stuff like that, it also has a some expired vending machine and security passes from various places I worked at, sat in a drawer alongside my "happy to help" Asda badge

Hope you find the ST, my mum always used to say when I lost owt "well can you remember when you last had it? "

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, but trying to be helpful, I assume you know your customer number and therefore if you haven't found it by Sunday, you can get the ticket office to issue you with a paper ticket for your seat?

That’s some marketing mans dream, all this knowledge, says a lot..

Football, beer, curry, odd bet, recovery medicines and DIY to please the lady when I’ve been naughty.....

Good mix that!

Absolutely, but I'd rather just find the bugger

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’d just take your forklift licence to the turnstile and haggle with the steward.

 

[Northyorksblade]

At ours the conversation goes something like ...:

Me - I’ve looked all over but can’t find the xxx (usually in the black hole called the Loft ! )

Mrs Smalls - are you sure you’ve had a good look around ??

Me - yes positive.

Mrs Smalls - Have you had a proper look or a ‘Rufus’ look ??

Me - ok I’ll have another look

Me - no it’s definitely not where it should be

Mrs Smalls - if I have to look for it and find it I’ll be mad !

Me - oh ok I’ll just look one more time

Me - no it’s DEFINITELY not there

Mrs Smalls - let me come up and have a look

Mrs Smalls - Are you blind ?? It’s exactly where I told you it was !!

Me - OH FUCK !!

Says every wife in every house in the country!

These are the type of things that will show up in a location you've already searched 100 times only once you've ordered and received your reprint.

How can you possibly have so many cards?!

I got hammered in the shoutbox for saying I'd got a Boots advantage card.

Also, why have you got 6 Morrisons Miles cards, 2 Decathlon cards & 4 Viraaj cards?

As a comparison, I have in my wallet (and this is only because if I had any less, the cards could fall out due to not being tightly packed);

Driving license
Debit card
Current season card
Old season card
Credit card
Oyster card
Boots advantage card
Ikea card
MSA license (expired December 2016)
Taste card (expired October 2018)
RBS Royalties Gold card

 

[TomHeffernan]

I once found £200 in a CD case which I’d hidden from my mum cos she’d want board out of it. I’d completely forgot about it and found it a year later when I was skint. Bloody great that was!

National Insurance card? Showing your age there Foxy!

 

[I should coco]

Driving license

Pedant's corner alert.

I don't think that would be valid in the UK (but I suppose in your defense you didn't mean to cause any offense).

 

[I should coco]

For a week after we get back, I imitate a taxi driver.

Pulling up sharply and turning left without any signals, U turns that become 5 point turns on busy roads and generally driving like a selfish twat who owns all the roads?

 

[Sandygate Blade]

I know it's not much help but we bought a safe and everything of value including our season tickets go in there.

just got to remember where I fixed it.

 

[Foxy]

I know where that is, it's got an old and invalid passport in, that's all

 

[Northyorksblade]

Me too. Saved hours and hours of searching over the years.

 

[MobileBlade]

I also pull up 200 yards from where she wants dropping off when its pissing it down and say will here do.

 

[Woodwardfan]

Organ donor's card?

 

[Woodwardfan]

Too obvious to search where your daughter plays. ' Shop'. My grandson had graduated from pretend cash to cash to cards now when we have to pay.

 

[FleaPitBlade]

A friend of mine found his, some months after he had it replaced, in his daughters Playmobil supermarket till.

I find Google Home's 'remember' command handy when I put something "somewhere safe"

 

[benn5712]

OCDC.

It'll be on the Highway to hell.

Oh nayow. That was AC/DC

 

[Dkc]

So to be clear, it was in your wallet and now it isn't Foxy ? Could well have just fallen out. Car, clothes, place you stayed in Scotland, bars, restaurants....

If you haven't seen it since the last home game you could also see if anyone has handed it in at the Lane, though you'd have thought they would get in touch.

 

[Yoonited]

Rammel drawer?

"Rammel" Lovely use of Sheffieldeze
