Up a radio tower.

Climbed up the tower with the sunnies on, did the work then climbed down without them.
No one I was working with that day saw me take them off they just disappeared.

That’s weird. They weren’t on the ground, after you finished your climb?

I didn't realise until after we left the site, but no one on the ground team heard anything drop. usually when you drop something from 30+ meters the object will collide with the tower first or various struts around the tower than hit the ground.

There was a book I read in school where our world is normal and when things disappear in our dimension they appear in a parallel dimension. In that dimension there is a team of people returning items through the dimensional tear and patching it closed. Sometimes people keep the items instead of returning them.

I like to think that is what happened.

On the top of my own head.

That’s so true for so many people!

Much weirder. It was a LARP fighting arena next to a joust.

Oh, well, sounds more humane than fighting animals. So they just rounded up some LARPers from a Ren Faire and told them to fight, or how did that come about?

Yeah pretty much. They had small tournaments throughout the weekend and in between it was a free for all that anyone could jump in to and whack people for a little bit. They had a bunch of foam swords and shields available for people to use.

Near a previously active volcano in Iceland. Now, it's probably burned from lava, as the volcano is erupting again.

On a rollercoaster ride where you had to wear VR headsets. Didn't notice they weren't in my shirt anymore untill I was outside.

Internally. Without noticing. Or any discomfort.

So you just throw down on sunglasses as a meal, or how did this happen?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Dude, if I knew where I lost things, they wouldn’t be lost.

“Well where’s the last place you saw it?”

I've got pairs scattered all over the world at the bottom of lakes. I always forget I have them on my head and lose them in the water when I fall in.

Someone in Beau Vallon, Seychelles, Africa probably found a pair of aviators on the shore by now. I’m out about $20 and not looking forward to spending summer without them, in America now. Oh well. Enjoy your new fashion accessory if you find them.

In the Chesapeake Bay, I was heartbroken when my sunglasses slipped off my head into the dark murky water (blech, dark murky water, how is it even safe for swimming and why is it normal for people to be in here? I don't know). The water was chest deep and I was carrying my daughter around playing around, when suddenly I stepped on something and picked it up with my toes, it was my sunglasses! I have rarely been so elated.

On my seat at HS Graduation... not getting those back! Luckily they weren't expensive.

On a pier on a very windy they blew from my jacket and into the sea.
