How I thought I lost my airpods but found them in my freezer: a thread
1. I've been moving apartments for the last two weeks and two days ago I was finally finishedâI just needed to pick up a couple of small things from my old place, return WiFi equipment, and do the walkthrough. Fab.
2. I remember last using them when returning my WiFi to UPS, and then when I got back I thought I put them in one of the bags I was carrying before doing the walkthrough with my super. I leave my apartment, put my bags in the trunk of my uber, and off I go back home! Bye old apt!
3. I unpacked my bags when I got home, but forgot about a bag of frozen dumplings for like 2 hours (rip). They were thawed a bit, and I panicked and threw them in my freezer. This doesn't seem relevant now, but it will be. Trust me
4. The next day, I can't find my airpods anywhere, and I'm panicking and searching through all of the bags I had and can't find them. I have to go to dinner with someone, so I have to put searching on pause, but am panicking internally
5. I called my Uber thinking maybe they fell out of the bag in the trunk? no answer. :(
I called my apartment building to ask if anyone found anything, no luck. They said I can come by and check for myself, though, so after dinner, I trek back to the old place again.

6. I went there convinced they'd be there, but NOTHING'S THERE
I call my Uber driver again, and again no answer. Feeling bummed af, I return home and my boyfriend and I keep looking for a bit, but at this point I'm convinced they're gone.

7. As I lay on my couch, dejected, feeling great hatred for myself and my clumsiness, a moment of brilliance strikes. I think to myself, "what if the airpods were in the same bag as the dumplings, and because they had thawed, maybe the pods stuck to the bag b/c of condensation?!"
8. I run to the freezer, my boyfriend is like "???", and I grab the bag of dumplings, only to not see anything stuck to the bag. My previously brilliant moment suddenly feels supremely stupid.
9. As I dejectedly begin to put the dumplings back in the freezer, I feel something hard in the grocery bag. [clarification: dumplings are in a plastic ziploc bag within a plastic grocery bag lol].
10. I rip open the grocery bag, and BAM! THERE ARE MY AIRPODS!!! I guess I accidentally dropped them in the grocery bag while I put them away. anyway, I feel triumphant as fuck and they work perfectly still

11. feeling blessed af lol this just shows that if your heart is pure and you want something enough then miraculous things can happen!!!
