I am visiting my parents for the holidays. I left my keys (and most of the contents of my wallet) in my drawer in college 3000 kiloneters away. No big deal, right? I can get a new house key.
I got a new house key, and immediately after getting it, went to board a public bus. I was paying in coins. The driver seemed a bit agitated by how long I was taking to pay, so I just grabbed a handful of coins, and threw them all into the coin slot.
Well, it turns out the coin slot accepts any metal objects! I asked the driver if he could retrieve it, but he said that he was unable to access the money and that I'd have to talk the customer support.
The representative on the phone seemed shocked, so I suppose that this was a first for her.
I got passed around to a bunch of different people, and they said they'd look for it tomorrow.
Anyways, I'm getting assessed for ADHD soon.
TL;DR: I threw my new house key in the coin slot on the bus.
