sarren...oh that would be *me* then.
In my defense, I have a bad cold and am sleep deprived. Actually that's not much of a defence, is it.
And yet I got off fairly lightly.
*not so much touches wood as clutches it to her chest*
See, every now and then I do something stupid, and then get lucky. Like when I was young and dived into a shallow pool and DIDN'T end up a quadraplegic. *thanks stars*
So today. I wander into Tandy's to get disks (on Dragonfly's instructions) so she can have hard copies of her assignments. Guy points out that I need a CD burner and I realise I have no idea if I have one. So I call Sphinx on my mobile to ask her and for no apparent reason put my phone back in my jeans pocket instead of my bag.
Get back to my car, tired and hot, unload all my Grandma's shopping into the back. And promptly leave my bag on the roof of my car, which I discover at my next pit stop about seven minutes later. Race back to shops, no sign of my bag, obviously. Hightail it to Customer Service Desk in the middle of the centre. And some nice person has handed in my bag, having gathered up the purse and various scattered cards, including my credit card.
I assume the person who nicked the cash was looking for a pin number. Luckily I'm not that stupid, though nearly so, I only signed my four month old card last week, when some shop assistant pointed out that I'd forgotton to.
So today cost me approximately $90. And the inconvenience of being without my credit card for about 10 days, as I've cancelled it as they change my account number. Just in case.
So, lucky about the cc having recently been signed, lucky I didn't lose my nice leather purse that I'm quite fond of and all my cards and a few dollars in coins actually, and lucky my expensive (shockproof) phone was in my pocket for once.
Am feeling really grateful right now. Also, like a prat.

Date: 2005-03-09 02:09 pm (UTC)...because of all those naughty text messages you send?
Your level of stupid is far lower than mine.
