Don’t!
The asshole already got your money. If you actually like the pillows and don’t use them, that’s making your purchase more like a donation.
I thought you were going to recommend he bring them to a range as a target.
( Every hit and his whole lane would be filled with feathers…! )
Throw a baseball at them!
“You’ll shoot your eye out with that thing, kid…”
No, they are getting old and it is time, I am not replacing them before time. Thank you! 
Not sure if this is a “mini” rant, but I just got home from shopping at a bunch of different places, and after putting everything away and going up to the computer, I suddenly discovered that I no longer have my wallet! I’m usually so careful about this sort of thing that it’s inconceivable to me how this could have happened. I’ve looked everywhere, and called all the stores I visited today. It is nowhere to be found, and no one has turned in a wallet at any of the stores. It’s possible that I was the victim of a pickpocket, but that’s never happened to me in my life and it’s pretty unlikely around here, but it’s hard to think of another explanation.
The good news – and what potentially makes this more of a “mini” rant – is that years ago I partitioned my valuable documents into two wallets, one containing almost all plastic cards like credit cards and health card, and I still have the credit card wallet, which is small and which I always keep in my front pocket. The back-pocket wallet mainly just contained my driver’s license and social insurance card, plus pictures and miscellaneous stuff I don’t much care about. The driver’s license is easily replaced and I’ll go get a temporary one tomorrow, but carrying around the social insurance number card was stupid as it’s a major vulnerability for identity theft and the card itself serves no useful purpose – in fact they don’t even issue them any more. The only thing that’s important is the number. My birth certificate was in neither wallet and is sitting in a desk drawer, which is where my SIN card should have been!
It could be worse, but I am very, very pissed off and not sure if I should bother with a police report as some places recommend (since no bank or credit cards were involved) or setting up a fraud alert with credit bureaus because of the SIN card. It all seems like overkill. I think I need a massive martini.
JFC, I’m just thinking of the fix I’d be in if all my cards had been in that one wallet. Need to buy food? Need cash or credit card. With credit cards gone, need cash. Can’t get cash because my bank card is gone, too. Can’t get cash through conventional means at the teller because my home branch is a hundred miles away, so you need a bank card. Can’t drive to home branch because not legal without a driver’s license. Can’t get a driver’s license replaced because they need proof of identity, such as a driver’s license 
(or a health card, or some other damn card with your signature and/or picture, all of which would have been lost).
What a world we live in!
Yes, it could be worse. And I just found out that my bank can keep me apprised of my ongoing credit score month to month, so I can probably track any significant change without having to place fraud monitoring on my account. Damn, if only I had kept my SIN number card at home!
I just bought a Coop Home Goods pillow and I really like it so far. They send you extra stuffing in case you need to adjust it, but I’ve been able to use it as-is. I’m predominantly a side sleeper but I always end up on my back and this has made it easier to switch from one to the other.
It’s extremely cozy and soft relative to my Tempurpedic pillow which was just too firm.
I just want to say this happened to me once. It fell out of a jacket pocket in a supermarket parking lot. I didn’t even know it at the time, I just realized a day later it was missing and had no idea when or where I lost it.
I was in a panic, trying to get a replacement driver’s license and credit/debit cards. Then I was contacted by someone at the store who’d had it turned in to them. I went to pick it up and everything was in it. (I didn’t carry cash in it or I bet that would have been gone.)
But what a terrifying nightmare. I feel for you. At least it’s easier these days to get replacements online for a lot of those things. When my wallet was lost it was over 20 years ago and less was done over the internet then. And as you said, you didn’t lose anywhere close to everything.
I hope everything turns up soon. I was just asking mr. romans tonight if he had his NC art museum membership card in his wallet because we plan on visiting another museum about an hour and half away that offers free admission if you are a member at another museum in the state - we need our cards for proof of membership.
In going through his cards, he found he had his Social Security card in said wallet! I told him to take that right out - if he were to lose the wallet or have it stolen, that’s just asking for ID theft, and there’s no reason at all to be walking around with it.
I’m soooo pissed. The gasket/door air seal on my dryer is loose on the bottom and hanging down. I get the model number and start searching for the part. Can I find it? Noooo, you would think that model of dryer did not exist, yet I can find it for sale at lowes with the correct model number. I’ve been searching for a couple of hours. Even their official site claims that there is no match for that model number. I’m calling them tomorrow and grrr politely asking them what the fk?
Most modern phones can use NFT linked to the card to pay.
Obviously cancelling the lost card would prevent that, but I created a virtual card (intended for online purchases) and linked my phone to that “card”.
Check out your bank’s abilities (and your phone) to support that
Do you feel comfortable sharing the make and model of your dryer?
Yeah, if a store supports “tap to pay” (and many if not most do these days) then you don’t even need to take out your card at any point to complete a transaction, as long as you have your smart phone and you’ve set it up with a virtual wallet.
Let’s say that my wallet wasn’t “lost” but I left it in my house and was traveling somewhere. The only thing I’d be freaked out about would be my driver’s license, because that serves both as my main form of identification and it’s what makes it legal for me to drive. I could probably get by just fine for the most part with my phone making payments.
I always do the “spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch” routine before I leave the house. Pat all pockets; if something isn’t where it ought to be, I find it, and put it in its place.
I’ll do the same at the sports bar or supermarket or race book, before I leave. “Have I got everything?” Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch. Wait, what? Hell, I must have left my specs on the bar. Yes, there they are; now I can go.
Note that “testicles” in this context does not mean an attached body part. It’s a reminder to check my front pockets for car keys and house keys. It’s an easy mnemonic when “spectacles” rhymes with “testicles.”
Lol I never heard that. I’d be coming up short every time.
The disrespectful grandkids say that - out loud! - in the Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino as a way of making the sign of the cross while in church at their Grandmother’s funeral.
The first time I ever saw or heard that phrase was in the Eric Idle/Robbie Coltrane movie Nums on the Run.
For me it’s always been, “spectacles, testicles, watch, and cigar”. I don’t wear glasses or a watch and rarely have a cigar.
