Vous ne retrouvez plus votre pull préféré.
La dernière fois que vous l'avez vu, c'était au
restau-U.

Discussion
Ca m'amuse de voir que certains pensent a en mettre un autre...!!! Que faites vous au MIT lorsque vous perdez ou trouvez quelque chose??? etes-vous plutot honnetes les uns avec les autres????
If I found something like a wallet (that had the person's name on it), and that I thought a less honnest person would steal, then I would take it and email the person it belonged to. If it were something like a sweater, though, I'd leave it, because I know the person would come back looking for it. And if I lost something, I'd go back to where I was to look for it. If it wasn't there and it was something important, I would call the Campus Police (they have a lost and found) and see if they had it.
Houla... appeler la police pour un pull !!... Bon si c'est pour le service objets trouvés, OK... Enfin bon, ça m'a fait drole de voir les mots "Campus Police"... dans notre Campus, on appelle ça le vigile (ben oui, y'en n'a qu'un... enfin bon, l'INT c'est moins grand que le MIT...)
Bonjour a tous, Je suis etonne de voir que la plupart d entre nous va au restau U pour chercher le pull. Moi, je suis tellement degoute de l avoir oublie que je n ai meme pas la force de me lever. Je me dis encore une fois que j ai des problemes psychologiques profonds. Et vous? A bon entendeur, salut.
Xavier, I am a little confused as to why you would be shocked that Americans would go back and look for the sweater they lost, when many of the French responded the same way. It seems natural to think that you would go back and look for something you lost, if that object means anythign to you. Apparently the sweater does not mean enough to you to go back and look for it? Is everything you lose not worth looking for, or is it just the sweater in particular that you would not look for?
I noticed that many of your responses were active, while ours were passive. You would ask people if they saw or found the sweater, while we would just go back and look for it without asking around. I know I would probably just go back and look for the sweater, unless a lot of time had passed. If I left it early in the day and didn't remember it until late, I would figure someone took it. Now this would depend on the place I left it. If it is a very public place I would probably go look, but figure it wouldn't be there. If I found something, I would leave it there, unless it had a name on it and was something that seemed valuable such as a wallet.
I agree with Megan. It seems like it would be a waste of time to ask around to see if people had seen the sweater. It is unlikely that anyone even noticed it was there... I sometimes see things that perhaps someone left behind, but it doesn't register in my mind permanently that it was a lost item that someone out there was looking for. Therefore, I wouldn't expect many other people in my surroundings to have remembered seeing my sweater.
