Lost...Trying to impress a new girlfriend, I 'borrowed' my mother's car. Dropping her off in London, I managed to lose the car keys between locking it and reaching the other side of the road. Utter humiliation followed as my mum took the train to London with the spare key...
What have you lost over the years?

I lost myself in Paris one night,we gave up on the metro when we went the wrong direction three attempts in a row, and decided to use our knowledge of the city to navigate by foot.
It took us about three to four hours of walking, we started at the Lourve, and our destination was at the shitty end of Rue de Promonade (I think!), and it took us that long. We think we went full circle, we tried to walk a bus-route (this was around midnight) and ended up in (what we think were) the subberbs - with a gang of FRENCH YOUTHS waving knives at the poor lost students.
After nearly freezing, starving, and arguing to death - we made it back to the road (RUE!) our hotel/place was on, only at the wrong end. So we still had to walk for ages. But at least we knew where we were.
I've got lost many times before, usually in the most embarassing places (I got lost for two hours walking home from the school I'd been at for 4 years). I consider myself quite a pro.
