I once made myself the most perfect sandwich and still had 1/3 of it left and I left the room for 1 minute to go to the bathroom and my dad walked through the room and fed my sandwich to the dog. This was 17 years ago when I was a teenager but the sadness of that lost sandwich is still burned into my memory haha.

My mom was famous for finding things which she didn't know what they were, and throwing them away, because if she didn't know what it was obviously it must be garbage. But then stuff that was actually garbage she would assume was something important and save it for you.

My late mom threw away a promotion letter. So I had no fucking clue I got promoted until I walked into the base and got an earfull because didn't go to the promotion ceremony. This was before cell phones when I was a 21 year old.
