boinky 0 #1 January 28, 2009 Okay, everyone knows that I am all about the "fluffy" moments. Happy times, cute pictures and bouncy moments. I have also gone back into stores to pay for things that the cashier forgot to charge me for. Hell, I'd give you the last penny I had if you needed it! Every Monday night, I go to play Bingo with a married couple. I think they get me to go along because I am easily entertained and they hardly talk to one another. My honey bought me a Nintendo DS for Christmas and I have managed to amass 9 games for it now. I only received the last two at 5:05 p.m. on Monday, just before I left for the Bingo place. I carry the system, the games, a truck charger, and a set of earphones in a small black drawstring bag. My low battery light had come on during the break between sessions, so I took the system and the charger out to the truck to build a charge back up before I got home. I had been dying to go potty, but couldn't get up until the last game was over. When it was done, I grabbed up my purse and "dauber bag" and took off to the bathroom. My friends didn't hang around at the table because they saw I had taken my purse. I got home and realized that I didn't have the drawstring bag that had the games in it. One of which, I haven't even had a chance to play yet. I tried to call, but their business phone is on an answering machine. I was back at the doors at 4:55, when they open at 5. I first checked the table and area where we sat. Then I talked to the manager, 2 cashiers, 2 ticket sellers and several of the regular customers that remembered where I sat the night before. My bag was not turned in. I realize that this was my stupid mistake. But what makes me angrier than I am at myself is the fact that either one of their employees or one of the customers that we sit and joke around with every night TOOK my bag of games. That makes me angry and disappointed in human nature. I have pretty much decided that I won't be going back there. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

boinky 0 #3 January 28, 2009 I understand. But I thought this was a bit more of a close knit group than that. I was wrong. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #5 January 28, 2009 To each his own poison! My "bag of games" probably cost as much as yours did! Each game normally costs a minimum of $20. There were 8 games, earphones and a spare stylus in the bag. Just the games alone retail for a total of about $160. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

chaoskitty 0 #6 January 28, 2009 How close knit of a group is it? Start calling around, maybe someone saw someone else pick it up. It is possible someone is holding it for you, or planning to bring it back next week. Either way, let that "group" know that its yours and you want it back. Talk to the employees next week, too.

BillyVance 34 #7 January 28, 2009 Maybe print a flyer and ask if the restaurant will put it up somewhere that you lost something and to please return it.

guppie01 0 #8 January 28, 2009 That sucks! It is mind boggling that some people can/do care less about anyone else for personal gain. The only hope is that there still are many out there just like you! I'll cross my fingers that it turns up and someone is holding it for you. Good luck sweetie! g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

boinky 0 #12 January 28, 2009 Your thoughts is where my thoughts went....I'm going to go next Monday, in hopes that maybe one of those friendly folks DID indeed pick it up and expects me to be there on Monday. If it doesn't turn up by Monday, I'm pretty much through with the place. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?
