I did a dumb thing

I spent the last 2 weeks looking for my bag that contains the battery/replacement blades/misc accessories for battery tool kit. I’ve looked through every nook and crann y in the house, garage and shed and cannot find it, which means I’m down 4 batteries, 2 chargers, extra sawzall, jig saw and multi-tool blades, plus anything else that was in there. I think one of three things happened.

I accidentally threw them away (80% chance). They are stored near the garbage can in the garage, and i do remember it be much heavier than i expected a few weeks back, however, i had just done a deep clean in the garage and threw away a lot of junk that i had no reason to hold on to.

They are hiding somewhere (18% chance). I have a tendency to set things down and find it months later, but i have no idea where they could have gone (see looked everywhere) above

Someone stole only this bag (2% chanc e). I doubt this happened, as i dont see why they would grab that specific bag and not the tote with all of the tools sitting right near where the bag would be.

Just ordered the replacements, and it came to just under $ 320 :(. Whats something dumb everyone else has done recently?

Left my office door open when I was the guy warning everyone about possible theft in this building. Got my iPhone stolen from my desk. Cost me $650.

 Sounds like someone figured they were teaching you a lesson.

Going to make coffee this morning. Walking to the sink in the office kitchen to fill the pot with water. Absently tossed the empty pot into the air, missed it and broke the pot into a billion little glass pieces. Spent the next 20 minutes cleaning up the mess, and now I don’t have a pot to make coffee with.

Nah, we’re a clinical building. I and another faculty member independently  saw an unfamiliar person wandering around the floor that afternoon.  My guess is it was a crime of opportunity.

Bought a $400 Volvo.

I still love it, but I’m pretty sure at this point I’m going to clear no more than $0 when I go to sell it.

Paid way too much getting the filter/crush washer/5L jug of oil to do an oil change myself, apparently...
