    First things first. You need some food to sustain you while you search for the wallet. Do you have a leather belt or some shoes or anything like that you can boil and eat? It’s only a temporary fix, but trust me, you’ll have a much clearer head after you get some tanned animal hide into your system. Next priority: finding that wallet. What you need to do is go to the last place you had it and then retrieve it from there. Most people never realize that one very simple and effective trick, instead spending far too much time searching places where they had their wallet slightly-to-somewhat before it was lost.

    Finally, always remember to troubleshoot and isolate the root of the issue. If you need your credit card, and you reach for your wallet only to find your wallet is missing, you have two separate problems. Your wallet can be found by following the steps I shared earlier, but you credit card might be in an entirely different place and it’s the credit card that you needed right now. Keep your eyes on the prize.

    Hey, JFP, the internet wants to know if you found your wallet? And if yes, where was it?

    According to QI, if you look around and constantly say “wallet” out loud, your chances of not overlooking it increase. Can also help with recalling where you last remember seeing/interacting with it.

    Mine once fell out of my pants while I was sitting at my office chair. It ended up perched on the bar that connects the seat back the seat bottom. There is a 3 inch gap between the back and the bottom otherwise. It took me a week to find it, and right before i was about to cancel everything. I only found it because i bumped the chair and it jiggled free.

    I once saw a duck steal a wallet out of a woman’s bag and waddle off with it.

    The same could have happened to YOU.

    If you’re not at home, did you leave it at home this morning? If you’re at home, have you checked the laundry pile?
