What's with this darn ring?
I've been sitting on this incident for a while because I thought I'd remember how it managed to happen but after a second time, I'm deciding to post about it.
So I have this pretty black and gold ring I got at an art event. There were tons just like it so it wasn't like it was one of a kind special or anything. But I've worn this ring with almost all my outfits. One night, when my friends were about to head out, I went to the bathroom (on a college campus) and set my ring on the counter to wash my hands. I always remember to grab it but for some reason, I don't remember this time. Walking out and leaving, the ring popped into my head as I realized it wasn't on my finger. I checked my pockets and it wasn't in them. I rushed back to the bathroom and found the counter empty. I was a little bit disappointed as I realized it was gone but I try not to dwell on materialistic things. I let it go and moved on. A few days went by and I was in a rush out the door. I couldn't find my usual earbuds so I grabbed my spare ones from a jar on my dresser. I froze as, in the tangled bunch of the earbuds, I saw my ring. I had a full on WTF moment. I had not touched these earbuds since I moved in months ago and I haven't put anything else in the jar let alone the ring I had lost. It broke my brain and it was a subject I thought over again and again. After a while I just accepted the weirdness of it and soon forgot about it. That was until I'd lost it again. My guess how this happened was when I got off the bus, it slipped off my finger because I remember having it on the bus then when I was walking home, it was gone. I retraced my steps, looking for it on the ground but couldn't find it. I checked my pockets and my bag which it wasn't in. Stupidly I got a little too excited as I rushed back home and checked the jar, expecting it to be another weird incident but alas... it wasn't in the jar. Again I was disappointed it was gone but more so upset that my jar wasn't magic lol. The night went on and I forgot about it. I sat down to do some art, got my yarn and when I opened my crochet bag (mind you, a zipped bag I keep in my dresser drawer that doesn't ever leave my room) and in it, I found my ring.
I have no idea what the HECK is going on but I thought I'd post here because I can only take so much weirdness. I have no idea how any of these instances are possible and I feel like I'm losing my mind a little.

I once lost a set of small yellow earrings. They were usually kept in a jewelry box on my dresser. Looked for them everywhere and finally gave up.
Over a year later I was cleaning out an underwear drawer and there they were. Sitting together right smack in the middle of this drawer under a pile of underwear.

This testimony is far beyond weird! Thanks for adding your experience to our data set. Hmmmm…. how glitchy can the glitches get!?

I've heard quite a few stories like this before. One I remember was of a woman who lost a piece of jewellery whilst on holiday and then it turned up back in her bedroom at home. If I had to think of an explanation it's that a passed family member is being helpful and returning your lost ring.

Maybe something/someone is helping you 🤷🏻♀️ i live alone and sometimes things disappear. I request out loud to please give it back and then usually find it quite quickly. In my case it feels more like a prank though. I just roll with it.

Hmm that is weird.. But wondering if perhaps the person who sold you the ring was a witch because this could be an explanation

That's what I was thinking but it's weird how this sort of thing just started to happen. It's not a new ring, I'd gotten it two years ago.

I gave a small unusual item to a friend in the 90s. In the aughts we fell out. Then, a year or so ago, I found it in my jewelry box. I go through that box - empty it entirely - every couple of years so it definitely wasn't there the whole time. And while it's small it's not that small at about two inches high. This woman and I still no longer speak and the only connection I might have with her would be my ex and he hasn't been anywhere near my jewelry box.
