The worst thing you've thrown away by accident

[ThunderOnlyHappens]

I still get a cold sweat thinking about a necklace I think I put in my jewellery box and then never saw again.

Or my white gold and diamond ring I took off because it needed repairing and then it feel out of a box and I couldn't find where it had fallen.

And the whole bottle of perfume I must have put in the bin. 🙈

Anyone else as idiotic or forgetful as me?

Accidentally chucked the salt put in a charity bag!!! Nothing like you

A prescription that I hadn't had filled yet

A £25 gift card

A brand new sat nav

My teddy that I'd had for nearly 40 years. When my mother died I was sorting out my old stuff I'd left at her house, putting into bin liners. I can only assume he went into the rubbish one instead of the "keep" one. His fur had all rubbed off, his leather pads worn and replaced with denim and I 'd had to sew his head partly back on but I cried and cried when I realised he was gone. I'm crying now too.

I had an emergency caesarian with my 3rd and they told me to give my wedding ring and gold necklace(21st birthday gift from gran) to DH for safekeeping. He put it in the pocket of the scrubs he had to wear. After the op he removed the scrubs and they presumably went to hospital laundry. Jewellery never seen again. I have been 12 years without a wedding ring and we are just having a new one made at last.

The watch I was given for my 21st.

Lost in my student bedroom. All I can imagine is I knocked it off the chest of drawers into the bin beneath and emptied it without realising.

Car keys. Just before we were due to set off on a 4 hour drive to see friends for the weekend. Lived in a block of flats, massive communal bins. Went through the lot of them in the car park for hours but no joy :(

DH got paid £500 cash for some building work and I put it into a little jewellery case in my dressing table and completely forgot about it. Several months later we were having a clear out prior to a house move and I saw the jewellery case and decided that because I never used it I'd get rid. So it went in the dustbin along with the £500.

A friend of mine binned her engagement ring along with a used tissue on her bedside table. Another, having heard this story, went on to do almost exactly the same thing with her wedding ring.

I lost my engagement ring a fortnight after the proposal. I’d put it in my rucksack pocket to keep it safe whilst we took 50 children swimming. I had the 20ps for lockers in the same pocket and must have pulled it out along with the bag of coins.

My husband threw my wedding dress out when we moved thinking it was just net curtains. Luckily I’ve never had use of it again.

A cheque for £350, Glastonbury ticket.

My sister gave me a full set of Natwest pigs to sell at a car boot sale I was having. I thought they were really ugly (not realising they were collectors' items) and I sold them for 50p each. I had a walk round the car boot sale later on and the guy I'd sold them to had them on his stall for £90 for the full set.

My wedding day earrings. I'm convinced I threw them out a couple of months after our wedding. Totally gutted as they were the only posh earrings I ever did or ever will own!

My phone in a McDonalds bin near my sixth form at lunch time. I looked like an absolute lunatic with my whole upper body wedged in the bin routing around week old burgers people even started beeping and heckling me

Dp left dd2s buggy/pram thing in the boot of his car when he traded it in....

Not me but a friend (honest!) threw away her car keys into a giant skip at the local tip and didn't realise until after it had done the crushing thing.

Apparently it happens more frequently than you think.

I once accidentally threw away a ring after filling up the car with petrol. I used some hand towel to wipe my hands , threw it in the bin, paid and drove away. Later on the journey I realised my ring had gone.

DH lost/ mislaid a camera somewhere. Shame the memory card contained photos from a once-in-a-lifetime experience 9 months earlier that neither of us had downloaded ...

I threw all my exam qualification certs. O grades, once & bbc college certs. Stoopid!!

My engagement and wedding ring. I took them off, and somehow dh scooped them up and they ended up in the recycle bin. I cordially sent him out to retrieve them, and he did. They’re about £6k combined 🤭

Our original marriage license has gone missing —probably in the recycle bin—

I thought I’d accidentally thrown away my childhood teddy, with a load of other stuff I was storing. He recently re-appeared in our garage and I have no idea where he came from, or how he got there. I’m baffled!

Some most of these are quite upsetting

My mum had her SatNav crushed in her car. we both ‘helped’ dad look for it the other day

I opened all our wedding cards (big Indian wedding, so about 200 cards) and sorted everything out into individual piles of cards, gift vouchers, cheques, cash and waste envelopes for recycling. The cash was paid into my bank account and the cheques and vouchers were put into one of big used envelope for safekeeping. On bin day all the envelopes went into the bin, along with the one containing all the vouchers and cheques 🙈😭
