I am SUCH an idiot

[LauraMax]

I was at the gym last night & used my platemates for incline presses. I'm always carrying a bunch of stuff around with me (water, towel, wrist wraps, etc) & after I finished the presses I moved on to cable flies. Five minutes later I thought "oh crap, I think I forgot to put my platemates back in my bag." I went thru my bag & couldn't find them. I went back to where I was doing my presses & they were gone.

I was freaking out. I talked to every single gym employee on the floor & asked if they'd seen them--everyone said no. I'm getting angrier by the minute, thinking I just couldn't believe someone would steal my stuff. I'm wandering around searching & generally making a scene, like "if I catch the scumbag who took my platemates there'll be he!! to pay!" Finally I gave up & went grocery shopping.

When I got home & unpacked my gym bag, & found them in a different pocket than where I usually keep them. Now I'm so embarassed for making such a scene out of nothing & making completely baseless accusations.........

I think you should have posted this in the "duh moments" thread

I'm sure nobody will care and they'll all just laugh. While trying to figure out how to make you have an untimely 'accident' with your platemates. "Doctor, I have no idea how it happened! They must have slipped off the dumbbells and landed on her head!".

I tore apart my shop at work looking for my glasses that were resting on top of my head. Another tech asked me what I was looking for, without telling me he "helped" me search the shop suggesting places I should look.

Then he said "Why don't you use the ones on your head until you find your others."
