The only time I ever "lost" my badge was one time when I forgot to take it off my shirt and threw the shirt in the laundry basket. Luckily I found it before I did the wash.
I do have a funny/gross story about losing my boyfriend's badge, though. I have his badge on a necklace because we're pinned, and after I wear it, I usually put in on my nightstand. One time I got really sick after going out, and I was throwing up for awhile into a garbage can next to my bed. The next morning I felt better and cleaned up and threw the bag from the garbage out into the trash. That night, I realized that my necklace was no longer on the nightstand. After searching the floor, under the bed, under the nightstand, etc, I realized that it must have gotten knocked into the pukey trashcan the night before. So, there was nothing else to do but search through the disgusting trashbag for the necklace (I would never forgive myself if I lost his badge...it means almost as much to me as my own!). Luckily, being a biology major, I had a box of rubber gloves so I didn't actually have to touch the old pukey trash. So, I dug through the trash until I found his badge, then I put it in jewelry cleaner for about 2 days to try to disinfect it. I ended up telling him and he was kind of mad at me for losing it to begin with, but I told him that it proved my love for him that I would dig through throw up in order to find his badge, so he was ok after that. But now, I make sure all of my jewelry goes into the jewelry box after I wear it!
