Failure with a capitol P

plus... can you really accuse someone of "stealing" your card when you hand it over of your own free will?

Remember when guys carried their wallets and credit cards and keys and cell phones in their pockets?

Yes cause I still do that.

If guys don't want to put stuff in their pockets any more they should just get a man purse already!

My SO left his CC at a restaurant the night before we left for our first trip together. To Fiji. For 2 weeks. With me only taking the card with a low limit (to keep my spending in check). Needless to say, I was none too pleased.
Thankfully, he left it at a restaurant we are regulars at and they kept it safe for the two weeks, because the server remembered us saying we would be gone that long.

The only time I ever left a card behind was when I was a teenager, and the local 7-11 required that a driver's license be left as a deposit in lieu of paying in advance for gas. I came back in and paid, but forgot to pick my license back up. I noticed it missing the next day, but could not remember what may have happened to it, so I got it replaced. The next time I stopped at that 7-11, I remembered!

When debit cards were first coming out, I found one at a 24-hour gas station, lying in the driveway. When I got home, I tried looking up the owner, but had no luck, so I called the number on the back of the card to report it found. They had no record of the card number. At the time, the number on the back went to the national VISA company, and they did not keep track of debit card numbers. I ended up having to call the local issuing bank itself the next morning.

really $100 for a hotel room is expensive? specially for a suite?

I'm goin away this weekend. and paying $90/night (2 nights) for a hotel. and it's not a really nice hotel just one of your avg. 'bed, fridge, microwave, coffee maker' hotels.

nothing special or luxurious about it.

and i find it a great price.

few place si've stayed that are REALLY nice and like classy etc. easily run $200+ a night for a room (and this isn't like vegas or some really touristy city it's london frickin ontario lol just an avg city).

At my job with have probably three bundles of lost cards, eventually we just get tired of them sitting in our drawer so we cut them up. None of them ever seem to belong to the people who come in looking for theirs.

Remember when guys carried their wallets and credit cards and keys and cell phones in their pockets?

I see more and more guys (and it's usually guys) just carrying this stuff in their hands, and just dumping it on the counter, bar, whatever when they're out and about, while they organize their purchases.

I don't think I posted about this: Awhile ago, I come back down to the front desk after delivering a noise warning to a room to find some kid behind the counter trying to pry open the cash drawer with a pair of scissors. His girlfriend spots me coming down the stairs and yells out, they both book it out of there. Nothing appears to be taken, and the locked, secured cash drawer only had about 35 bucks in it anyway, all in small loose change.

After I call the police and give a description, but before they arrive, I notice dumbass left his brand new $200+ cell phone sitting on the counter. Cops arrive, I turn over the phone, describe the situation and the would-be thief. They ask me to look at a screen of mug shots, and I easily pick him out. Turns out he's 16, drunk off his ass, out at 3am on a school night pulling attempted robberies, for which he's been arrested many many times before.

Hopefully once he gets to the tried-as-an-adult stage of his life he learns how to be a better thief in prison, or at least gets shanked, but I suspect he'll be one of those guys you hear about who robs a bank and leaves his wallet, or robs a store immediately after submitting a resume.
