咱们每个人或多或少有过丢东西的经历。找起来崩溃抓狂,找到后兴奋欣喜,嗯,没有什么比“失而复得”的感觉更好了~



比较经典的失而复得例子,要数之前火过一阵子的一枚加拿大奶奶了。


老奶奶今年84岁,在十几年前不慎丢失了她的订婚戒指。这戒指可是早在1951年她丈夫求婚时送给她的,半个世纪一直陪伴在身边。


结果04年时,她在园子里不小心把这枚戒指给弄丢了……老奶奶超级难过,还买了一枚小一些的戒指来代替丢掉的这枚。


结果十几年过去了,这枚戒指突然出现了……


并且,戒指出现的地方相当神奇——


A Canadian woman who lost her engagement ring 13 years ago while weeding her garden on the family farm is wearing it proudly again after her daughter-in-law pulled it from the ground on a misshapen carrot.


Mary Grams, 84, said she can't believe the lucky carrot actually grew through and around the diamond ring she had long given up hope of finding.


"I feel relieved and happy inside," Grams said this week. "It grew into the carrot. I still can't figure it out."

▲Lucky carrot: Alberta woman finds mother-in-law's lost ring (via The Telegraph)


丢失的戒指居然混入了泥土,和胡萝卜一起长了出来,再被儿媳妇给发现了……宝贵的订婚戒指在13年后以这种方式重新回到了老奶奶身边,想想都觉得不可思议!



这样神奇的失而复得还有不少。


下面这姑娘的经历就是……


@Eugenia Zuroski:


One of my books went missing years ago and I recently ordered a used copy online and it's my actual missing book


五年前我丢了本书,最近在网上买了本二手的,收到后打开一看:这不就是我五年前丢的那本吗!



看到这种巧合,吃瓜群众们也跟着各种开心:


@Flinkie:


Oh wow wow!! That's awesome!!! :0


艾玛!好棒啊!!


@Etienne Pisano:


Stunning!!!!! :-D


厉害了!!


@Justina:


wow, but it was signed, why wasn't it returned to her at first place? 


哇~~不过既然书上写了名字的,为啥五年前捡到书的人不把书还给她呢?


这真是人性的拷问啊……


Boredpanda的这篇文章里,还分享了不少失而复得的好玩故事——



一起来围观一下~

好吧你赢了……

I'd like to know exactly how many years had it been there

“为啥钢琴的声音听起来有点不对劲”系列 



@Tammy Ralph:


Did you never wonder where they went?


楼主就从来没好奇过你的玩具丢到哪儿去了吗?!



@Melissa Boone:


I did this too!


艾玛我也干过这种事!

LET'S PLAY AGAIN!



6. My Father Lost His Reading Glasses About Two Years Ago. Found Them Today


两年前我爸把眼镜给弄丢了。今天总算是找着了……




@anonymous:


How did it get there??


等等!这玩意儿是怎么跑到车下面去的??



@Marina Allemani (ReginaVeleno):


How did they STAY there.


等等!这眼镜是怎么挂那儿两年了还纹丝不动的??



@Vlad Horobet:


Either the car stayed in the garage for 2 years either the glasses are welded to the car frame. They stayed there way too much without falling.


要么这车停在车库里两年没动过,要么这眼镜和车已经焊在一起了。它们如胶似漆,难舍难分

8. 82-Year-Old Man Just Discovered His Lost Wedding Ring In Carrot From His Own Garden


82岁的老人在自家园子种的胡萝卜上发现了丢失的婚戒



@Vlad Horobet:


Same story from the beggining? Or people should plant carrots when they lose rings?


和前面那个老奶奶的经历一毛一样哎!是不是在暗示我们,一旦丢了戒指,就要赶紧去种个胡萝卜?



@Hikari:


Note to self: if I lose a ring, plant a carrot.


划重点:掉戒指了?去种胡萝卜吧!



@Elizabott:


This has now happened enough times on the internet that people really shouldn't wear rings while gardening....


感觉这种事情已经发生过很多次了啊……吸取教训啊盆友们,别在整理园子时戴戒指啊!


好有道理无法反驳……

@varwenea:


She must not have worn the shoe much. It's hard to not feel the scrapping from it.


你麻麻肯定不怎么穿这鞋,这耳环都没磨损啥。


何止“不怎么穿”,应该在丢耳环之后就没穿过吧……因为这耳环已经大到一穿就能察觉了 



10. Found My Wedding Ring Tonight. In The Garden. 2 Years After I Lost It

@MRaina:


but you lost the carrot ..


楼主是不是忘记拍胡萝卜啦?



@Melissa Boone:


But there's no carrot....I'm losing faith in the whole "ring returned by carrot" scenario.


没有胡萝卜啊……“胡萝卜归还戒指”的套路不灵了吗?蓝瘦!


等等,你们几个这是什么逻辑……
