Forgot your wallet... What would you do?...

I just recently started using a wallet again. I didn't have one when I was still studying. I only had a coin purse and then put any bills that I have in my pocket or in my bag. Its always nice to know that if ever I try to search something in my bag or in my pocket, I would eventually pull out a couple of bills. (^_^ ) Now that I have a wallet, I don't really forget to bring it around as most of my money are in it as well as some important things that I also consider valuable. Hmmmmm, that got me thinking, even if I use a wallet now, I should still have some money in the pockets of my pants or in my bag, my mom would have a nice surprise to pull out some bills every now and then when she does laundry and she'd always return them to us if ever she finds any (^_^ ) Oh yeah, straying off from the main question.. sorry.. (^_^") If I ever this sort of thing would happen to me, I would hope that I have some spare change in my pocket or in my bag, if ever I am carrying one at that time. Try to contact someone close by and ask some help if ever they can.. yeah, cellphones can be really handy at times like that (^_^ )

We do not intend to forget our money or wallet but sometimes we do forget. It happened to me once when i am to get the birth certificate of my aunt in National Statistic Head Office. I am already falling in line to verify the application and after that i have to pay if it is verified. I discovered that the 500 pesos was not in my pocket. I checked all my pants pocket and i found nothing. I have no other money aside from that 500 peso bill. I wanted to cried at that moment and disgusted to myself. I have nothing to do but to lend money from someone to got back to the house. The first thing i thought was to lend money to the guard, and i was lucky he lend me money just for my fare, and i promise to give back the money when i returned. Luckily my problem was solve. I only waste the fare and my time because it is not easy to get to the paying window after you verified your application, so instead that i can get the result in the same day i was assigned to get back next morning.

I Used to have this happen to me all the time....................... I Dont know why i used to forget taking my wallet when i was younger .................. as i used to be concerned more about the work than about the means involved which definitely required money............ Now i have stopped carrying a wallet around only Hard Cash ................ But i do forget that too sometimes .................. LoL ................

Good that you had a back-up plan! Sometimes I have left my wallet locked in a special drawer in the car and gotten into a store and then had to go back out to get my wallet. I don't like to carry a handbag or any bulky things around when it is not necessary, so sometimes I do get caught. Cell phones and credit cards and "stashes" are all good in an emergency.

Hello aseretdd, I never experience this but if it happens to me, I will definitely go 'mad' - searching frantically for enough money. The problem is, whenever I am in trouble, I will be left 'alone'. People who are close to me like my husband, my elder sister, my best friend and a few more are unable to reach when I am in need *laughs* It is lucky that you have your cell phone with you and someone that you can rely on during this 'hard' time. Just imagine if you are stranded with no money, no credit for the cell phone and no one is available to help you! My, I think I just want to pretend that I am going to faint!

i have one time but im so gland i went to the store by my house.

I forgot my wallet once, but luckily I was with someone else who did have their money with them. If it happened again, I would probably call my dad. He's always out and about, and he is most likely the person who could come to my aid if I needed a ride or needed to pay for something I didn't have money for.

noooooo. that would be a very bad thing for me if i left my wallet. i will really need to go back for it. i always check my wallet and my cellphone before i get out of the door. i have no lose change in my bag it is all at my wallet so i make sure i leave the house with my money inside my bag. so far this has not happen to me first thank God.

I have forgotten my wallet or have taken out my bankcard to pay pizza and forgotten it at home, but over all I have had a happy ending and be able to get home to my bankcard or wallet

That was a tough place you were in. I wouldn't have had any money on me except what I have in my wallet - which is also not much LOL since I don't carry more than I need in cash. I have forgotten my wallet before - but I didn't have any problem with it because my boyfriend drives me home. I did call back to my place just to ask my padmate if she could check where I left my wallet. The most problem I had about forgetting something was forgetting my copy of the condo's key that I shared with four other ladies a year ago. That got me really agitated because I knew that they seldom come home early enough for me to find them there when I came home - they also often don't sleep in in random nights for some unknown reason to me. I had to leave work just to go back to our place and get my set of keys while I was sure that one of my pad mate was still there - she goes to work late and comes home VERY late. That was a lot of hassle. I wouldn't have gone back for my wallet because I can easily borrow money from friends who trust me :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

hello dear... good thing that despite of what happened, you were still able to managed it through. i have not experience the same thing and i hope and wish i won;t! that's why i always keep a spare money on my pocket.. so that if something happens, there's always "hidden" money i can count on... hope you are doing great and i know you would be really careful next time around. :) sometimes when we are just too busy. and a lot of things running through around mind that we would forgot things.. like keys, or wallet at that. mine, i always left behind my cellphone.. ut thats' just me.. :)

i dont have a wallet "surprised!!!"..yup really i dont possess a wallet..ive everything right from my money and all the necessary papers visiting cards etc in my shoulder bag...i never go out without my shoulder bag...so i never had experienced this ...it is also comfortable to carry everything under one bag... be safe..happy mylotting

LOL yea sometimes i forgot my wallet..i remember when i was paying a ticket pass in the LRT (Boing gulat ka noh)because i had to go to my aunt house to do some business..i was like WTF..And i went back to my house..Then BOOM im late my aunt scold me like hell...

Yes it happened to me once. Had a full meal in a restraunt, the waiter delivered the bill to me, checked my pocket and then the shock of the missing wallet. Though I am a resident of the same place, I wasn't unduly worried, only an embarrassment. I spoke to the manager about the forgotten wallet. He understood my position and let me go with a smile. Came back to clear the bill later. It is different when you are travelling and in a new place. No familiar people nor friends to help. But genuine words spoken can ease tricky situations. All you need is just enough money to reach the nearest destination where help is in offer. People will understand the truth

This happened to my just last week. I am still getting used to my new summer schedule and had left my wallet in my swimming pool bag from the day before. My son and I were out to lunch with a friend and his mom when I went to pay for lunch and found nothing. I had no money tucked anywhere else and had to turn to my friend to bail me out. It was no big deal really, but just made me realize that I will have to be a lot more organized with all of our different summer activities. I seem to have a bag or backpack for all the different things we do and will opt to leave my purse at home whenever possible.

This happened to me when I was still a student. I left my wallet at home, so I just borrowed money from my teacher. If this happens to me outside and I have nowhere to go or no one to run to, I would just take a cab and go home (I'll pay the cab driver when I get home) or I'll ask people for spare change and call my house or anyone I know with a landline who could help me.

Oh so sorry for that. For God's glory I did not yet forgot my wallet only cellphone. Its true that cellphone helps you a lot when ever there's a problem happen so easy to send message whats the things left. If It happened to me I call my parents or somebody in the family to bring me my wallet in my office or where I am so that I can have what I need.

I think I would break down and cry. Joke. All my impotant papers and money are in my wallet. I don't know what I would feel if I lost it. Maybe I just have to accept the lost. So far, I haven't experienced that kind of problem. Maybe, someone stole it. That was really a very bad experience.

hi, i'm sorry about your wallet. i have came across the same situation myself and got away with coins in my bag to get the LRT ticket! i understand the tense you've gone through yesterday. i never fogot my wallet since that incident. at the same time i keep some money seperately in my bag and pockets for emergency situation if at all occurs!

I would call a friend or a relative to help out or I would try to make no expenses, if possible.
