yeah...
long story short (emotionally, the story was long, but in terms of complexity it was not)...
left the airplane, picked up our luggage, and then i checked my pockets and was like:
hm. where is my wallet.
cue panic
FORTUNATELY, i talked to some of the airport luggage staff people (well my brother did initially because i cannot think under stress), and i just had to wait a bit for them to hand it to me
honestly i shouldn't be surprised this happened to me because i've continually had issues where my wallet falls out of my back pocket.
i don't know if it's because i have an orthographically poor butt or what but idk
normally it's never that big of a deal because i can literally feel it fall as i stand up, but i didn't notice this time (probably because i was suffering physically (and emotionally) inside the airplane)
also uhhhh
appearently there was a miscommunication error or something cause they didn't give it to me straight away
i think i didn't notify them soon enough so they were preparing to put it into "holding" or a lost and found or smth
wasn't that big of a deal at the end but it did mean i had to wait an extra 40 minutes for stuff to get processed
whoops
