Lost my passport for a day... found it in the bin under my Vinted rage-trash

DAE

Today I almost had a TIFU moment...I almost lost my passport for a day, found it in the rubbish bin with my Vinted rage-trash. 😭

Couldn't find my passport ANYWHERE for a day. Retraced every step, checked every table, every bag, underneath the sofa, even emptied my backpack. Was fully convinced someone broke in and stole it or something equally unhinged.

Turns out I got so annoyed at Vinted for refusing to refund me over "insufficient packaging" that I chucked the packaging in the bin in frustration, and my passport had somehow ended up underneath it. Didn't even clock it until I finally checked the bin out of sheer desperation.

Is this regular Audhd behaviour? Rage-tossing something in frustration, but accidentally also rage-tossing something important like your passport 😭

Anyone else have a similar situation when they lose something or misplace something due to emotional dysregulation?

Might be slow to reply due to burnout. Interested in your stories though! πŸ’™
