Spotted a super cryptic flyer for a 'lost key' on the board at the laundromat on Pine Street.

It was just a drawing of a key and a phone number, no name or address, so I called thinking it would be quick. I ended up spending over an hour trying to describe different laundromats to the guy because he couldn't remember which one he was at. Has anyone else ever tried to solve a mystery from a bulletin board post?

Used to think those lost and found posts were a simple public service. Got roped into a two day email chain once trying to return a single gardening glove based on a blurry photo of a hydrangea bush. The whole experience really makes you question how anyone loses anything and also manages to find a payphone.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time I spent a week trying to get a library book back to someone based on a sticky note with just a first name.

That "simple public service" idea really went out the window for me, too.
