I'm tiny, but can hold loads.
I bet you have one like me:
In your pocket,
Or your purse,
In your wallet,
On your shelf.
In your drawer
Or somewhere else.
Be careful not to misplace me.
Do stay alert, my friend,
Because if I disappear,
I'm sure you'll pull out all your hair
And throw a magnificent tantrum
Even if you are middle-aged,
Wearing a suit and respected
By your one thousand employees
And feared by some of them.
I do understand, don't worry,
Losing me can be like losing
months and months of hard work.
What am I?

I think it could be a credit card. Nowadays we use it constantly to pay everything and it means the saving of months or years...
ReplyDeleteNooo... sorry.
DeleteCould it be money? Or perhaps your identity card?
ReplyDeleteNone of those.
DeleteA smart phone. A true tantrum if we lose it.
ReplyDeleteNowadays it is almost irrepleacable. We are beginning not to live without it. A true tantrum because we have a lot of info and money in it. Personal data, pics (compromising pics, perhaps?). Yes, we could be fucked up if we lose it.
A real story. Yesterday, I was wating for the coming bus. A pair of teenagers were siting in the bench. They got up and left. I saw a smartphone on the bench.
Lucky her because I saw it.
I yelled at her and pointed to the device on the bench. She came back and took the phone. No words, no thank you, no nothing... Teenagers!
A little advice: Dont put your smartphone in your back pocket. Much more if you are on a motorcycle. I saw it once.
What if it is not the answer of the riddle? Doesn't matter. Just writing working out.
Exactly and it's an excellent paragraph!
DeleteHello, I think it could be as well a pen drive because it's a very little device that can contain a huge amount of data. If it's lost, that can be a great disaster because it can hold a very valuable information. For example, you may need it at your work place to make a presentation to your colleagues and if you have forgotten it.

Yes, Cristina. That's the right answer. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me where I found this riddle?
ReplyDeleteI don't know
DeleteMy head. LOL.
DeleteI would have said a flash drive too. I lost one a few weeks ago and I almost died. I finally found it. Lucky me.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! I know how you must have felt. I've lost my recorder now... :(
