Random objects that just stick to you, when you've lost so many other things.

I'll still got my Mason Pearson hairbrush from when I was about 12 years old, Auntie May's cake slice, my Bunnikins mug.

I've lost countless amounts of jewellery, important documents, who knows what else but I swear that I'll be buried alongside the hairbrush, cake slice and bunnikins mug for archeologists to ponder over in a few thousand years time because they will survive intact.

"What kind of a culture was this?"

They just stick to me. I've moved house and countries several times but they always turn up unscathed.

What sticks to you?

I still have an alarm clock that was a gift on my 13th birthday & says "West Germany" on it and it still works perfectly over 30 years later! I have some jewellery that was my mum's but I've been careful to keep that safe so not sure that counts...

My Boots advantage card from when they first came out-I was 16 🤣 I have had my purse stolen and also lost it many, MANY times since (I’m in my 40s now) but that card has survived each and every time. Bank cards, driving licence and store cards have all been taken, but never my boots card.
Last time it was stolen was in 2012. My house was broken into, my handbag with everything in was one of the items stolen, but my bag-minus my purse-was found in a bush a couple of weeks later. My boots card was inside the bag!! ( it had been in my purse)
Its tatty, cracked, obviously still in my maiden name and the chip barely works-but I won’t upgrade it for the newer ones, no matter how many times the cashiers try to convince me

There are a lot of jokes that could be made here about German people and punctuality but I won't go there...

A pair of left-handed scissors that I've had since I was 6.

Your OP made me laugh! 😆

I’m notorious for losing things. I have to buy a new pair of sunglasses every summer, new gloves every winter (at least) as I just can’t keep anything that leaves the house with me for more than a few weeks months.

Yet I’ve had the same (grotty, but strong!) umbrella for years. Must be 15 years, I reckon, which is some sort of record for me. It’s a cheap Totes one, too. It’s stuck to me like glue.

I have a boomerang Parker pen.

Riffing off my future archeologist idea from the posts so far,

"They obviously must have had to protect themselves from extreme weather, unless it was used as a defensive device, as the females seemed to have carried small metal triangular weopons still held in the hand of these remains....as all the skeletons unearthed so far have wider pelvic girdles...they had primitive time keeping devices, there was an emphasis on grooming as seen by what seems to be a hairbrush, they venerated rabbits by what we can tell by their pottery...a left handed tribe?

From the isotope analysis on similar artefacts on the dig - on the metal - was this one part of a card carrying religious cult?

An umbrella my then boyfriends mum bought me for Christmas 10+ years ago. Had several other boyfriends and umbrellas come and go in the interim!
