Riddle

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?

  1. 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...

  2. Could it be money? Or perhaps your identity card?

  3. A smart phone. A true tantrum if we lose it.
    Nowadays 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.

  4. Hello, 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.

  7. I would have said a flash drive too. I lost one a few weeks ago and I almost died. I finally found it. Lucky me.
