Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.Smash Wogan writes, "we all love our Mums, but we all know that Mums can be cunts, throwing out our carefully hoarded crap that we know is going to be worth millions some day."
What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

Not me but.....Got home one day when I was about 9 or 10 to find my Dad's Commodore 64 missing from the shelf under my TV.... went and asked him about it:
"Oh I sold it to a guy at work, along with the box with all the software in it"
The problem? Well, although the Commodore was in fact my dads, alllllll the software and game tapes in afforementioned box were, you guessed it, mine!.
This was circa '92, game tapes were available from the local newsagent at around £4 a pop, I spent about 2 years worth of pocket money on games and my dad not just threw it out, but sold them!
Git.

To be fairyour dad gave you the pocket money and so selling them was just recouping?
Plus all those years he cared and bought stuff for you...

I see your point...... But my pocket money ammassed to a grand total of I think 5 pounds a month at the time and to earn that I had to clean up around the house and stuff.
It's not like he was just giving me money. Made me get a job at 13 as well so that he could stop paying it.
And to be fair, the same could be said of most of the stories on this QOTW, except my dad had the brains to make some money out of tormenting his kids.
I stand by the "Git" comment.
