What have you thrown out by accident??

[Ghiagirl]

As the title indicates, I have accidently thrown something in the recycling bin, and have only realised now, too late, once the bins have been emptied

Hubby gets up earlier today and notices that I've cleaned out the mail pile, "where's the tickets?" he asks, "they should be up there, I put them in the to keep pile" I reply. Looking, looking....uh oh!! I've thrown out the wrong bloody pile. At this point I'm wondering if I should run a mile or start begging for forgiveness.....yes I have just thown this years Sydney 500 Sat night (including Guns' n roses) tickets in the bin!!!

Thankfully hubby knows that i value the tickets just as much as he does, and that after offering to go to the tip and wade through the rubbish to attempt finding the now long gone tickets, he's decided to show mercy (although I daresay this will be a card he plays many many times during our marriage).

So I ask, am I the only one to have done something so stupid, or who out there will come forward and admit their accidental throw outs???

My mates grandmother once threw out an envelope with $2500 cash in it.
She didnt realise till the rubbish was in the truck.
She got hold of the truck driver and he was sympathetic enough to dump the garbage in a separate area at the depot so she could go through it and try and find the money.
5 of us spent 4 hours troweling through a massive pile of rubbish but we couldn't find it.

I sent 3 computer monitors to the tip thinking they were the broken ones only to discover I still have a broken one here so the good one went instead

Then to top that off I threw a bag that was on the bench into the bin thinking it was just rubbish that the kids were too lazy to have thrown out themselves only to discover that I have thrown out stuff they had picked up around the place, put in a bag so I could go through it to put the objects wherever I wanted them.. they then tell me that my digital camera (with lots of pics of my daughter and her birthday were on it, none other taken) was in there

There have been other things 'accidentally' thrown out but I am not going to fill the complete page with everything

Well didn't completely lose it, but a close call..

Was scooping food into a bowl for my 18 month old son, dropped a bit on the bench and scooped it back up .Went to stir it back into the bowl and the missus while gold diamond earings were in there..

I have had a very close call too.

Two days ago, I was looking for the compliance plate for my car as I have removed it while it is at the panel beater, only to discover my mother in law had thrown it into the kitchen bin thinking it was rubbish.

I nearly had kittens!

It is now in a very safe...well ummm...safe!

When our son was born, my wife required a C-section for medical reasons. Preparing for going into surgery, she took off her diamond earings, and wedding band, and handed them to me for safe keeping (thankfully the engagement ring had been purposely left at home). Nurse said not to leave them in the hospital room, so I wrapped them in tissues and put them in my pocket (so they wouldn't get scratched by keys etc.).

Needless to say or attentions were very much elsewhere for the next 24 hours or more, and when my wife asked for the jewellery back a day or so later, I got a sick feeling in my stomach.

Still not really sure what happened to them. I assume at some point on the day of the birth, with my thoughts occupied with much more important things, I must have just thrown out the tissues in my pocket thinking they were just used tissues. Hospital bins had been emptied well before we realised they were missing. Bins at home got a very thorough search.

Luckily covered by insurance, and impossible for my wife to get really upset while enjoying the miracle of our child's birth (if I'd lost them at any other time I'd be dead!).

My brother came from overseas.. He gave us a nice cuttlery set...
We took a few forks with us out for a BBQ up the Colo river...
When we got back myself & brother cleaned up and put the rubbish "in the bin"...
We now have a perfectly good cuttlery set with no forks...Lol...

Just call the ticketing company. They should replace them, for a small fee naturally. I lost my cousin's Clipsal 500 ticket one day at the track. Just went up to the Bass outlet and got it reprinted.
Can't say I've thrown out anything that could jeopardize the marriage, yet. Give me time.

[My poor XF]

Put my wallet complete with cards, license and $170 into a maccas bag so I didn't lose it. Promptly threw it into a bin because I don't need crap lying around in my car. Didn't realise till Monday.

Buried somewhere at wingfield dump!

20 years ago a mate & me stripped a damaged ZD fairlane and took parts to tip, while unloading I noticed the bumpers had over riders on them so put next to trailer while still unloading (so wouldn't forget about them) and promptly forgot at end of unloading and drove home. que sera sera

I threw the missus out of the house once but only after I’d thrown her out, realised that she hadn’t finished cooking dinner.

What a mistake that was.

[gtfpv]

my friends wife hid $3000 in the bottom of the bin recently . i dont know why , and my friend knew about it , and said WTF do you think you are doing , after her explanation he did not agree with her but said as long as it's not forgotton , about a week later they both remembered .

I'd just finished off a banana and had the peel in one hand the car keys in my other hand ready to head off to work. I get get half way down the stairs and wonder to myself why I've still got the banana peel and my hand, then it clicks, I've just thrown out my cars keys and held onto the banana peel.

Sadly this happens often, most times I'll throw the spoon in the bin and put the yogurt carton in the sink.

0FF subject .. But I've often tried to use the mobile phone to change channels on Foxtel...

I lost any "sense" I had after "accidently" drinking half a bottle of something strong, tried to open the front door with my car remote. It only clicked after I saw the parkers flashing on my car in the drive, which magically only happened when I tried to open the door... but I had to double check it about 3 times to make sure I wasn't seeing things!

[Sloth]

I recovered both sets of my car keys from a bin just this morning. It's only the little one next to my computer desk but had it needed emptying, they could very well have been half way to the tip.
I realised they got knocked in there when my notice board fell over on the weekend.

Just do this.

Easy done.

At Warren's (Pearly's)wedding the Mrs was driving my XY (I had the pleasure of transporting the bride and groom) and just as the bridal party were preparing to leave for photos, for some unknown reason she throws the keys into a bin on the street!!!
And Yes I was the poor bloke in a suit, fishing through a public bin to find the keys to my car!

Unfortunately according to Ticketek, there's no replacing them as they were General Admin. So therefore they've got nothing they can cancel, so no luck there :-( Just going to have to buy more.

[sgt_doofey]

Bugger! Our Clipsal tickets are reserved seating, so that must be why we could get them reprinted.

Cut the crap Paul, you were looking for something to eat.

About 15 years ago my dad (in the Philippines) withdrew 10,000 pesos (about $250) at the bank counter. The teller gave him an envelope with 10 one-thousand notes. When he got to the car he took the money out and tore up the envelope.
Before putting it in his wallet, he counted it and was one note short - he'd ripped up the remaining note while it was in the envelope. He took the fragments back to the bank, explained what happened, and they gave him a new 1000 peso note after a bit of a laugh.
