I once worked for a CFO whose excel skills were so advanced that he would type a list of numbers onto a spreadsheet, then add them up on a calculator and type the total into the excel sheet. And this was 2009, not 1991.
I hope he used one with a till roll for audit purposes?
Today, I am particularly annoyed with the charmer who decided that, rather than hand in my wifes wedding ring that she had unfortunately left on the table in our hotel bar, they would keep it for themselves. What sort of shitbag decides to do that rather than hand it to the barman or hotel reception?

My wife is currently inconsolable.
That's abysmal. Is there any cctv in the bar? People like that should be strung up just for being c**ts.

I hadn't thought of that tbh but I doubt it. It was the pool bar inside the hotel grounds so not open to the public really. We know roughly what time, within half an hour, but it could have been anybody just walking past the table, waiting staff, pool boy, etc.
Hotel are not being particularly helpful either so think asking them to review any cctv would fall on deaf ears. We stuck a little note last night in the lift offering a reward. Everybody has to use the lift so would have seen it within 24 hours max. The hotel took it down within an hour.
Fortunately not a family heirloom but still about £800's worth so it was not like we were asking if anyone had found a missing flipflop!

Sorry to hear that. Try smacking the barman, they'll find some cctv then!
It's clearly going to be of such sentimental value to someone that far outweighs its sale value. I dismays me constantly that so many people are so dishonest. There's surely be much more satisfaction in returning something like that to its owner than fencing it for fifty quid. Good luck to you and Mrs Addick, it may yet turn up.
I've lost a few things that could easily have been returned if there was any desire on the part of the "finder" to do so. Eventually I will catch one and bad things will happen.
I live near Trossley Country Park in Vigo. At this time the year the park is busy especially at weekends. The park has a big car park and a bigger overflow car park, it costs a couple of quid to park there for the afternoon, however the amount of cars who park on the street outside the car park gates, when the car park is not full, aggravates the shit out of me, all to save £2. Don't they realise that the park takes a lot of upkeep, most people who work there are volunteers or on low wages, so every penny they collect helps keep the park looking great so they can enjoy it. Tight gits.

Ha, ha. Too true that. Ironically the same day I chased one family down the road to return their nippers sun hat he'd jetisoned from his buggy and done the same for another woman who'd got up and walked out the restaurant completely oblivious she'd left her handbag hung over the chair.

Karma's passed us by it seems...
Remember the 2-2 draw against Norwich when we were first in League One.
Me and one of my mates went to a pub by the river after the match, when we left we were quite a way down the road before I saw the lady who worked at the pub was chasing after me as I'd left the watch I'd been given for my 21st Birthday on the table.

That's shit mate. Hopefully it will turn up though.
In the meantime, try to explain to your missus that in the grand scheme of things it's only a ring (that you'll possibly be able to claim on the insurance) and that it doesn't make you any less married or change things.
Maybe book a table at a nice restaurant to try and cheer her up?

Whoah, easy tiger...I'm not made of money ;-)
She'll be alright in a day or two, it's just a ring at the end of the day and seeing those poor souls who've lost everything puts it in perspective.
Maybe naively but I'm still of the believe that 9 out of 10 people would have handed it in and we were we just unlucky that the scumbag who sat at the table after us was one of the remaining 1 in 10.
Beijing airport staff opened my suitcase and took out a brand new unused zippo I bought in Korea. Left me a nice note saying I could claim back from Beijing airport. Not good when I found out in schenzen and was on my way to HK.
And I'm all the way over in West Hampstead. Still, at least it's the jubilee back to Canada Water then overground to Forest Hill so relatively easy journey back
Celebrities on social media posting something (usually political) from their pedestal to their millions of follows causing outrage, when in fact the story etc they've posted is bollocks. Then when they are told it's 'fake news' they don't post a second message explaining or even delete the first.
After another night of my wife mopping around with a right face on and no news from the hotel, the bar where my wife lost her wedding ring was quiet this morning. So I took the opportunity to pretty much take the armchair she was sitting in apart. Despite her telling me she and the waiter had looked all around it when she went back, tucked right down the side of the cushions, almost into the framework was something shiny and familiar! Gawd knows how it worked it's way down in there but there it was!
I'm now my wife's hero and we can get on with our holiday.

Typical public sector working blaming private sector staff of theft when it wasn't their fault.

She's now a structural engineer, fire safety expert, death toll correspondent and spokesperson for the poor. She don't miss a trick does she.
Hate her.

Glad she got the ring back and you are the hero
