Dude, where’s his wallet?
It can be incredibly frustrating to misplace everyday necessities like your keys, phone or wallet. It’s even worse to lose something that you spend days looking for — when it was under your nose the entire time.
That’s what happened to one person who misplaced their wallet and apparently spent a full two days looking for it.
In the r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit on Reddit, a person outed their relative by sharing how they searched for their personal item for longer than anyone would care to admit.
It turns out the MIA wallet was on the bathroom floor the entire time — a place where this confused person probably walked in and out of countless times for two days.
In this person’s defense, looking at the scene where the wallet lay for 48 hours — at first glance, it is easy to miss the misplaced billfold since it landed perfectly on top of one of the tile squares of the same color on the bathroom floor.
Talk about an optical illusion.
The relative must have been losing their mind searching high and low for their money pouch, despite most likely walking past it too many times to count.
Of course, Reddit had a field day with this story, as the thread was filled with almost 500 comments of various opinions from people.
Some empathized with the relative as they too struggled to spot the wallet.
“It really blends in.”
“It took me a minute to find it, but damn that is crazy how it landed.”
Other hawk-eyed users found it immediately.
“I found it in about 4 seconds!!! Sorry op! That is a perfectly mildly infuriating placement for a black wallet.”
“Did you not take a sh-t for two days? It’s literally right there.”
“I went right to the floor.”
“My god, I would be so mad at myself lol.”
Since losing a wallet is more common than people would want to admit — one good Samaritan devised a genius plan to prevent the lost item from getting into the wrong hands.
The person supposedly left a note advertising that they found the lost wallet and in order for the rightful owner to get it back, they would have to solve a “Da Vinci Code”-evoking equation.
“I left a note in a way so only the real owner could contact me,” declared the person in a viral Reddit post alongside a pic of the note.
The only way a person could retrieve the wallet is if they can solve the equation, which involved putting in their birthday alongside another code in order to figure out the good Samaritan’s phone number so they could call and be reunited with their personal item.
