It's leave a jacket at work season

jon f mn · Apr 11, 2022

Happens every year, need a jacket in the
morning but then warms up so I take it
off, then go home without it. This happens
til I done have any left so I round them
up and start over. Be may before I can go
without and end the cycle.

I had a buddy that did the same with coffee cups. His desk was covered with forgotten cups.

With me, it's usually in the shop.

Been known to have 3 or 4 down there at one time

I was lucky there. I was the only one left in the plant (that I knew of) that still used a Stanley bottle, the guys knew the cup was mine.

Hats and gloves, too.

I do that too. When I did business telephone repair I had jackets all over West Michigan. Sometimes wouldn't get back to pick them up for weeks. I'd call.the customer contact and ask them to hide my jacket untill I was back in the area.

Ive had days in the spring when you would drive to work in sorels and drive home barefoot

In the shop, or in the tractor cab, or in the pickup, or hanging on a fence post. It's like hide and seek to get them all back to the basement where they belong.

When I was in the Army in the spring (1966) in Kansas, we were on the rifle range. That morning the water had ice on it and the grass was white with frost, buy noon we were in T shirts. There was balls of white foam blowing around and we could not understand what it was. Then we found that one of the guys had a can of shaving cream in his back pak that had burst from the heat and was leaking out.

Recently lost a vest that way... but it wasn't at work - so it might be lost forever.

Like Dave BN, it is really bad when you may have left it at any one of five places where you stopped in the AM

I lost a nice sheepskin vest that way in 1982. I was working at a tower site when the temperature rose, so I took my vest off and later left the site. Months later I returned to that site and climbed the tower. When I got to the top, I looked down and saw my vest laying on the ground in the tall grass. Still have it, although a little more rustic than before.

That's interesting! I had my basic training at Fort Riley, KS in 1958. The rule there regarding field jackets was If it's cool enough to carry it, it's cool enough to wear it!

My tea cups are usually found on fence posts, stumps, and machinery flat surfaces - a week or two into them being missing. I have several, but need another one or two to replace the broken ones. I have not lost any permanently. Dropped off the bumper and broke, but not lost.
