Old Habits Die Hilariously

[Ev]

The other day I lost something important to me: my wallet.  You know...that thing that has all my bank cards in it, identification, medical cards, minister's license, loose cash, veteran's card, naked pictures of my wife...and...whoops.

A sense of panic washed over me.  I almost begun to go frantic.  Okay, I did go frantic.  My memory was bad, foggy.  The "ritualistic" wine I had partaken of didn't help things either.  I started to go on an hour-long search for my dear, dear wallet until...facepalm...I remembered I don't have a wallet anymore.  I carry purses and (in gender-neutral moods) backpacks.

It probably sounded something like this, in a nice, deep angry voice:

"OMG I LOST MY WALLET!  Sunoffa!  Where the heck is it?    Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man...f***!...cards...and...money...and...naked photos....and....wait.  I don't carry a wallet anymore.  IDIOT!  Grumble grumble more wine..."

Would that be like sliding under the Jeep like I have a million times before to change the oil and only THEN remembering the brand new "girls" need more clearance?

LOL. Wow you must be stacked. How much clearance do you need under a Jeep?

I wish I had that excuse. I nearly gave myself an anxiety attack a few weeks ago because I couldn't find my wallet after returning a rented DVD.  I had visions of having dropped it the parking lot, and I was already going thru the list of CC companies and DL I would need reissued, and... oh crap! I'm leaving tomorrow on a business trip! How am I going to rent a car without a DL?!? 

Oh, there it is, right on the dryer where I left it when coming in from the garage. 

IDK what I'm gonna do as I get further along and need to carry more stuff or wear clothes that have fewer/smaller pockets in them. Big smartphone/phablet case to double as a purse? Be a hipster and carry a messenger bag/man purse?

Grand Cherokee adapted for police use. Sits a little lower and hauls buns! The very last pursuit I did we hit 158 on the highway and still wasn't red lined on the tach. Had the option to purchase it because they were phasing them out for Chevy Tahoes.

I commonly would have this happen with tools when I was working on something. I would set a tool down, do something else, then I would need the tool and it would have disappeared into thin air and can't be located. So I wised up and I started keeping a spare of the tools I would commonly use and I would just grab the spare one and keep going. The first tool would of course turn up as soon as I no longer needed it.

I can't report clearance issues with the boobs and my jeep cherokee sport just yet

I have a couple of tool/nail pouches that clipped very nicely on my guy belts and were very handy!!  The elastic waist bands in my girl type work slacks just do not support them!!  I was only on the second rung of the ladder when I found out HOW LITTLE support they give!!  Thank heaven my neighbors were not home when gravity caught up with the situation or they would have known the color of my panties.  It is hard to go up or down with the pants waist band around your ankles.
