If someone goes on a journey, he can tell something.
A wise saying that has lost none of its validity.
And especially if you are traveling by plane these days.
The school holidays in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate hadn't started yet, the security check took less than 15 minutes, so everything was fine.
Shortly before departure, the cell phone rings.
"I found your documents!" "What documents?" "Declaration of suretyship and other papers."
Oh dear, they must have fallen out when we got out of the car.
The honest finder promises to hand it in at the lost and found office and then sends a text message to report that the item has been found.
Back from the business trip, the next day we go to the lost and found office in good spirits, only the employee cannot find the documents even after a long search.
Strange.
Next attempt the next morning, after repeated consultation with the finder.
The same employee is still groping in the dark.
She doesn't even want to look into the computer system, where the process should actually be stored.
Then the boss gets involved.
Brief explanation of what is involved.
"Oh, the guarantee letter," he says.
"We don't have it every day either.
I assumed so myself.” He walks into another room, the one for special finds, and hey presto, there she is.
The colleague had not searched here at all.
"Why not?" "We'll talk about that," announces the boss.
You still have to pay a fee of five euros.
The main thing is that the documents are back.
The house doesn't lose anything.
Another true old saying.
Only the big bag with groceries from China is destroyed after one day.
