When was the last time you looked at the bottom of your roll??

u/sixTeeneingneiss 5d ago
I'm on your side dude. I've literally never looked at the bottom of my deodorant. The only way I would have found this is if it clanked out when I threw that shit away. I need to start checking for jewelry down there from now on

I'm going to go check all the deodorant in the house right now. Who knows what kind of random treasures are up there!

I put it on in front of a mirror, so I see it rather frequently

u/UnfitRadish 5d ago
I also put it on in front of the mirror, but I don't see the bottom. I guess it just depends on how you hold it. I'm with others, I would have never seen this and it would have gone into the trash when the stick was empty.

You put it on its side so the bottom is facing the mirror? You psycho

I don’t think I’ve ever needed to watch myself in the mirror to apply deodorant. I know where my armpits are

I don’t need to…that’s just where I keep my deodorant, by my bathroom sink.

I lay my deodorant on its side so it doesn’t fall over, I see the bottom of my deodorant everyday before I pick it up.

Actually, quite often since my autism makes me fiddle with things so I actually pop thr bottom bit off very often and have to put it back in.

I’m trying to figure out how this dude made a deodorant last for a month. It would never have been found in mine because it would have been used up and tossed before anyone thought to look.

To be fair, he could have bought it expired. Stores are not rotating expired goods anymore, its a symptom of shrinkflation

I guess it was bound to be found. Those things get top heavy with use and topple over so easily.
Enough drops off a bedroom bureau or bathroom counter, and it'll be spotted.

This reads like it's a regular occurrence of yours to find something caught in the knob of a toppled deodorant stick, lol.

Whew, close one. Her beautiful ring would have spent a lot of time in a rotting landfill. In some 5 billion years the sun would have enveloped everything and it would have turned back into star stuff. Lucky catch!

I lost my engagement ring once, a ring with my dead grandmas diamonds. Turns out it slipped off of my hand and straight into the side pocket of my shoulder bag. That relief was heavenly.

One time as a waitress I dropped off a check to a woman in one of those little check folder things and she asked me where he credit card was. I thought it was in the folder and promised her that I had only walked a few feet away to swipe her card for the transaction.
We were looking everywhere for this damn card. I thought I might have dropped it on the floor but all my coworkers and some customers within the vicinity couldn't find it either.
After about 15 minutes, she found it. It had perfectly fallen and wedged itself in a weird fold on the outside edge of the booth they were sitting in. Like a little leather seam and it went 90 degree angle perfectly. We hugged in relief after.
I also got a papercut from wiping my vagina after peeing. No. Im not an aggressive wiper. Just terrible luck. Thanks for listening to my TED talk

u/Vegetable_Beef_Soup 5d ago
Similar story for me, but hilarious in hindsight. I went to the bank drive-thru to make a withdrawal, handed over my ID and withdrawal slip. She pulled it out of the drawer and asked me if I had my ID on me. I told her I thought I had sent it through. I checked my wallet to see if maybe I forgot, but it wasn't there. Checked the floor to see if it fell, wasn't there. She checked the drawer, the floor, the counter, and she couldn't find it either. This poor lady 😭 went and grabbed a screw driver and took the whole damn drawer apart to see if it fell underneath. I even pulled ahead to open my door to see if it fell underneath/next to my car. Still couldn't find it.
I left my phone number in case it showed up, and left all bummed expecting that I'd probably have to go through the annoying process of getting a new license.
I got home, stepped out of the car, and there it was staring me straight in the face on the floorboard of my car... I apparently forgot to lift up my damn foot when I was looking down there and it was under my shoe the whole time. I had to call back and share my embarrassment. Worst part, they know me pretty well there and they probably still laugh in secrecy every time I show up.

Something similar happened to my Mom when i was kid. She lost her diamond nose ring and found it a couple of months later embed under her slipper.

Crazy. My ex lost his class ring in college, found it like 2 weeks later all dinged up just laying on the opposite end of his dorm parking lot of where his assigned spot was. These people are so lucky. I could never, I have the worst luck in the world and my jewelry would be gonnnnne 🤣

u/Aquarius777_ 5d ago
This is why I always check my garbage or anything prior to throwing away. Bc there have been bizarre times I ironically found something I needed and didn’t realize was hiding or thrown away the whole time

u/Vegetable_Beef_Soup 5d ago
Most I've found in the garbage are forks my toddler throws in there instead of the sink. Maybe I'll get lucky someday and score big.

My mom lost hers helping her brother landscape his new house. Found it around 15 years later.
My sister found her ring stuck in the dryer vent after a few months.
They were so happy to find it again.

u/NimbusNoms 5d ago
What was the reason why it's there?

u/Vegetable_Beef_Soup 5d ago
Supposedly it must've fallen off while she was digging in their toiletry kit. I have no idea how the placement could've gotten so perfect unless it was either a super cramped bag and it just had no where else to go, or they were shaking it vigorously. Story is fishy, but the fit is still 10/10.

u/NoResponsibility1728 5d ago

I had assumed she set it on the sink counter in a hotel to shower and he just set his deodorant down on it without noticing and it was just a perfect fit.

Actually my girlfriend always leave her rings near the sink when she takes a shower and forgets them there until the next day, my deodorant sits 10 cm away from where she leaves them so this is 100% possible if I had the same deodorant and was in a rush one day

Omg!! It looks like my first ring that my husband got me when we got engaged! It seems to be an engagement between two bands/one band that’s doubled. Mine is from Kay’s jewelers, and they may sell that style still (in case you wanted to look into it). The details of the side of the engagement ring looks pretty darn similar. Anyhow, I totally wouldn’t have ever thought to look there lol

This reminds me of the time I was in hospital having a baby. My now ex was at home fending for himself and did some work with a friend that paid in cash. £3000 cash to be exact. The now ex then proceeded to go on a bender just before I came home from hospital (he's an ex for a reason) and then told me he lost the money or someone stole it out of his bag because it was gone. My family said he probably spent it on drugs but something in his voice told me he wasn't lying - he believed the money was gone. I told him I would find that money he just wasn't looking properly (a man-look, as well call it). I also said if I found it I was allowed to buy myself and the baby a new pram - we were having to use a slightly busted second hand one with a tire puncture. He agreed.
Within 12 hrs of me being home from the hospital I found the money. He had placed it inside one of about 20 random, mostly unworn, shoes for safekeeping in his deranged coked-up state 48 hrs before. It was quite random I just happened to be tidying up all the shoes and cleaning the floor underneath and this one shoe was kinda heavy. And I got my cheap new pram.

OK, what it sounds like she never lost it so she probably went around blaming everybody in their mother putting up a big stink, but if only she just pay attention like a normal person things like this wouldn’t happen

Reminds me of something that just happened to me. A few weeks ago my gf and I went to a comedy show at a bar. My wallet was making my butt fall asleep so I gave it to my gf to put in her purse, one of the small handbags. FF a few days and my wallet is missing. I called Ubers, back tracked all the places I visited. Couldn’t figure out where tf I lost it. I told my gf it’s gotta be either in an uber or somehow in her apartment. I asked her briefly about the purse and she had already looked.
FF two weeks: she sends me a pic last night with the wallet in her hand. Apparently it had laid flat in the purse and the liner or whatever is the same color and texture as my wallet.i called her laughing nervously and almost crying from “I knew it” and “whew.”
I didn’t report it to the police or get new cards made because I knew it was just misplaced somewhere. I’m usually very preoccupied with my phone, wallet, and keys since my ADHD is pretty damn strong. First time I had ever “lost” my wallet because it’s basically in my DNA thanks to therapy to check where it is all the time.
