Snafu should be my middle name

So here is the question of the day. Wild Wanda had a little bit of stress this weekend and found it a very thought provoking and tell tale sign of personalities. I left my cell phone and wallet in somebodies car! To be exact.... a dates car, of whom I have been out with several times. Now my first thought was to call him, but I didn't have his number. I usually just get it off my call list. Then my thoughts raced......He would find out that I didn't have him programmed in. Not a big deal really because I don't do this with anybody I date until three months into a relationship which is my d-day time. Then my mind really raced......My text messages! My wallet became the least of my worries.

Now here is where you really learn a great deal about yourself and others. I panicked. I mentally took note of all my text messages stored in my phone. Months of received and months of of sent messages. My secrets (at least that's how I felt) would be exposed and the worst part about it is that I didn't want this particular phone snatcher to get his feelings hurt or rather myself to be embarrassed. I thought about if the situation was reversed. Would I check somebodies phone if they left it in my car?

What I concluded is that it completely depends on whose phone was left. For example....if it were somebody like "Pancake Man" who wasn't honest and always was hiding something from the beginning, then I would take the opportunity of being that fly on the wall and have my questions answered. However if it were a sweet guy like "text message boy" I probably would respect his privacy like I know he would respect mine. I guess it is indeed quite the invasion of privacy and that's why I was so nervous. Phones are like a diary of our lives. Our calendars, emails, pictures and more. I don't even think I deleted the messages from that perverted "sexter" I ran across either. I hope he at least noted I didn't reply.

Whatever the answer may be it all lies with respect. If I feel somebody would respect me than I more than likely will give it in return. How about you? What would you have done in this situation. I'd love to hear the absolute truth. Take the poll or leave a comment.

And for all you worry warts who wonder about my phone. I did get it back.......................................I texted myself :)
