No, I had apparently drunkenly stuffed it into a small pocket one night and found it a month later while rummaging.

I once accidentally left $50 on the counter at the CS apartment and nothing happened to it.

What most non-CSers don't understand is that there's are strong security measures and checks to weed out the bad.

Responses:

as far as security measures, unless you cancel the card, it's party time for the person who stole it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:52 10
- Yeah yeah I know. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:53 9
  - and I take it that she has not idea that you misplaced this latest one for a while -- nm - zork Jul 2, 10:03 8
    - did you tell your parents about any of the goofs you made when you were her age? - 'lia Jul 2, 10:06 4
      - my parents never gave me a credit card or cash starting freshman year of college. all goofs were mine. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:07 1
        
        tell me about it - 'lia Jul 2, 10:11
      - different story when you're not carrying your own credit card -- nm - zork Jul 2, 10:07 1
        
        not for a lot of young girls - 'lia Jul 2, 10:13
    - No I called her to cancel when I realized it the next day and told her. - Hotkiss Jul 2, 10:04 2
      - i've never thought that but most people your age have some trouble taking responsibility for some things -- nm - zork Jul 2, 10:05
      - I think some people are making assumptions. I don't think you sound retarded with money at all. - loosilu Jul 2, 10:05
first thing. Get a wallet. Always put your card in it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:51 27
- Wallets are inconsequential when you're drunk. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:52 26
  - This post should be a pretty strong lesson. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:55 7
    - i don't think any of us can say anything about doing something stupid drunk, we've all done it. -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 09:57 6
      - Of course. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:59

      - Exactly. Most lessons are learned by doing stupid shit, not by having a bunch of people 10-20 years older than you tell you how to be safe -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 09:59 2
        
        What separates humans from other animals is that we don't have to make every mistake *ourselves* in order to learn. We have collective learning. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:04
        
        True, but some lessons learned by doing stupid shit are irreversible. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 10:01
      - of course, and then hopefully we learn. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:58
  - i'm thinking you shouldn't carry a credit card at all. have one, yes. carry it, no. - Andie Jul 2, 09:55 8
    - another reason why i only use cash... -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:56 7
      - but that's backwards. you carry your tuition in cash, and lose it, it's GONE. - Andie Jul 2, 09:56 6
        
        it's not like she's carrying her tuition money with her out to a bar... -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 09:57 3
        
        but on the other hand, I once had someone leave an envelope with $1200 in cash stuffed inside on the counter at Starbucks... - znufrii Jul 2, 09:59
        
        of course not. but she's saying 'she feels safer with cash' is silly. -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 09:58 1
        
        (my point, i would never carry cash i couldn't afford to lose. credit cards are wonderful for security, if you are able to notice it if you've lost i -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 09:59
        
        yes, very risky to carry large amounts. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:57 1
        
        I rarely carry more than $60 on me in cash. There's no way I'd spend more than that on a regular day. If I am, that's bad. - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:59
  - OH! OH! Where's my soapbox? I've got something to say about being drunk! -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 09:54 4

      - Hi, I'm Mop. Have we met? - Mop Jul 2, 10:00
      - shut it, you're next. ;) -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 09:56 1

  - if you are losing your money and cards, you can't handle drinking that much. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:54
  - nbot if you're always in the habit of putting it back in your wallet. - znufrii Jul 2, 09:53 2
    - yep, I was never too drunk to do that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:54
    - Ding* -- nm - MDH Jul 2, 09:53
