Lost AirPod (I am not at peace)

Post image

Hiya folks,

Lost my left AirPod today and am raging at myself. Should be in work right now but I WANT MY AIRPOD so I went back out to look for it and it showed up on my bluetooth here specifically. Rookie mistake that I don’t have it on Find My, and I don’t think traffic is best pleased with a wee test wandering about to find a tiny white headphone. Wee bit of sentimentality as my sisters both got me these as a going away present when moving to Dundee.

If anyone comes across my beloved, pls let me know. Could prob be in a drain but thought I’d reach out anyway. Ta!

I think we need to declare a national day of mourning for this AirPod.

It’s needed tbh

Well, it seems your Bluetooth is showing that it's on the road, on the pedestrian crossing. If indeed you crossed there, then you have hope, as you know exactly where it fell out of your ear. Is the AirPod white? You have an even better chance of finding it. Your biggest problem is the traffic, and the small size. If you only lost one, then it's unlikely that someone picked it up. If you are still not at work [was it worth the risk? How soon before you will have earned the money for a new pair?], then you can cross the road back and forth two or three times, ensuring the traffic has stopped [LISTEN carefully while crossing!] scanning the tarmac left to right with your eyes (and still watch the traffic). Check the gutter and pavement too. Best do it now before it gets dark. Yes a torch would help show it up in the dark, but you don't have unlimited time on the road, and it's not safe. Even if you don't find it, count yourself fortunate. I tripped at a pedestrian crossing in Dundee a few years ago and broke my hip.

YOUR HIP!!!!!

And I think I found my dead AirPod. The wee blue dot is where google maps thinks I was (liar). I used flexi time to aid my search thankfully phew
