About 4 years ago had lunch in Bogota, left my phone sitting on the table, didn't realise until I had already taken a taxi to the dentist, got back about 20 minutes after leaving it behind, it wasn't sitting where i left it so asked the guy at the till. He ask me what color the phone was, which brand it was, annoyingly answered his questions just wanting to know if he had seen the damn phone, then he lifts it from under the table - relief.
Back in the mists of time when mobiles were the size of breezeblocks I was working in a school in nunthorpe my wife was in hospital giving birth to our first sproglett I needed to use a public phone to see how she was getting on dialation etc anyway I found a red phone box at nunthorp shops I phoned and was told I had a daughter I lookt down in dissapointment & there on the floor was a wallet full of dosh, I left the phone booth and walked to the bus stop to head for the hospital, then I saw a guy franticly searching in and around the booth, as I alighted the bus I wondered what on earth was he looking for..... nah I went and gave him his wallet I am not a complete twat.

@badradger saidPeople are generally decent when it comes to things like that, left my wallet in Sainsburys years ago and someone handed it in.

i dialed the number for the factory where i was employed
"i have all my paperwork in order
all the nonsense of the last year and a half are genuinely over, and the state police are not going to press charges
my shrink and her colleagues are in agreement that i am not a threat any longer
i am ready and willing to return to work"
"we'll call back"
*two hours later
*phone rings
"human resources here, calling to complete the process of yer termination
you are no longer allowed on the premises and the county sheriff has instructions to arrest you if you come within 100 meters of the property"
"i would like the opportunity to retrieve my tools"
"they've been sold at auction
good luck in yer future endeavours"
@trev33 saidAt least he didn't ask you for a kiss for not binning it.
