lost and found.

Me to Costco guy at membership desk: "I lost my membership card. Can I get a replacement?"

GUY: "OK. Now, we can do a temporary card or replacement card—are you sure it’s gone?"

ME: "Yes, I LOST it. I lose things all the time. It’s my best talent."

GUY: "But it’s forever gone? Like is it just missing or like LOST?"

ME (insistive): "It’s LOST lost. I’m telling you, no one loses things as good as me."

GUY: "Alright, no problem. We can get you a replacement card. Can I see a photo ID?"

ME: (Digs through bag for wallet. Digs through wallet for driver’s licsense. Stops digging when Costco card magically appears in stack of credit cards and frozen yogurt punch passes. Starts to put it back in my wallet but it’s too late. Guy has seen me pull it out.)

GUY (looks a little like this is the best moment of his day, and a little like he's afraid i'm certified bonkers): "LOST, lost, huh?"


ME: "heh heh...."

*mumble mumble*

"heh"

mumble

Hehehehe! Awesome. You should've said that was someone else's card...you're holding on to it for them. ;)

HA!!! That is a great story...should have told him you were a time traveler and that you are from three days in the future. You will be extremely busy so this is really the only time to replace your lost card.

Hahaha! I'm glad you found your card. And in such an uncouth manner might I add. I was beginning to think that I never gave it back that one time you let us borrow it.
