I can’t find my wallet and I’m hungry and I need to get groceries

      I like to keep searching for something after I found it so that this statement isn’t true. My wallet was actually at the third to last place I looked.

    I don’t know, but annoyingly my wallet/keys/phone tends to always be in the last place I look.

      Of course they’re all in the last place you look. Why would you keep looking for the thing in more places once you’ve found it?

    Hey, JFP, the internet wants to know if you found your wallet? And if yes, where was it?

    First things first. You need some food to sustain you while you search for the wallet. Do you have a leather belt or some shoes or anything like that you can boil and eat? It’s only a temporary fix, but trust me, you’ll have a much clearer head after you get some tanned animal hide into your system. Next priority: finding that wallet. What you need to do is go to the last place you had it and then retrieve it from there. Most people never realize that one very simple and effective trick, instead spending far too much time searching places where they had their wallet slightly-to-somewhat before it was lost.

    Finally, always remember to troubleshoot and isolate the root of the issue. If you need your credit card, and you reach for your wallet only to find your wallet is missing, you have two separate problems. Your wallet can be found by following the steps I shared earlier, but you credit card might be in an entirely different place and it’s the credit card that you needed right now. Keep your eyes on the prize.

    We’re on lemmy, we’re all commie, so we don’t have neither wallets nor money, and collectively re-appropriate what she capitalists stole us when needing something.

    It’s part of term of use, you had to throw your wallet away before joining

    My son once took all the cards our of my wallet and put them in the printer/scanner that we never use. I only found out 2 years later when I finally went to print something and there was a jam, opened the scanner lid to get inside and boom.

    Could be there.

    According to QI, if you look around and constantly say “wallet” out loud, your chances of not overlooking it increase. Can also help with recalling where you last remember seeing/interacting with it.
