The bad one
Well-known member
The older I get the more it seem to impact on me when I lose something when I’m fishing.
An example of this illogical trait was the other week, nephew want a bit of foam to pop up maggots. I had some in my boillie drill and bit box. Pretentious I know, having a hand-made drill and bit box, but lots of time on my hands and I like making things. As I opened the box a 1 mm drill bit fell out and into the grass. I gave him the some foam and went back to watching the motionless tips of the rods. I as sat there thinking, the loss of this new never used drill bit started to chew on my brain… It’s brand new never used it… what a B*****d got to find it….I’ll need it! Even though it’s been in there probably 2 years and I’ve not used yet! It’s now obsessing my every thought, to the point I’m on my hands and knees with glasses on, looking for a needle in the green haystack,
Yes I’m miffed and sulking over a 60p drill bit because I’ve lost it! The elation and sense of relief when I found it, you’d have thought I’d won the bloody lottery!
Am I on my own on this one or are you like it? And have you found the older you get the more it irks you if you lose something?
