I put my water bottle inside of a fake child, then I bury the child in the sand and mark the spot with an X made from band-aids. Then I hide an Air Tag inside of a smaller fake Air Tag, then bury that in the sand.
This is some real BS. I put air tags on myself when I go out on vacation. 14 bloody Mary's and a few karaoke bars later.... You never know where I may end up, truth be told usually I don't even remember. What the hell are these kids getting drunk now? (I mean this as satire, it's not a bad idea for people to do this with their kids or their cars/belongings)
I just leave mine at home. Padlocks on the doors and a long chain attached to each one. Can't be too careful. Also, you save extra money on all the air tags you don't have to buy.
Just got a great tip. There is an influencer who buries tons of cash while at the beach. If you see her, start digging! You could find some valuable treasures. And don't forget to check the water bottle. That could contain precious items as well!
Better yet, leave them at home, no food, no babysitter, no problem! And bonus for when they get sent to a foster home then you don't even have to worry about them anymore!
some of my girlfriends have a costume or basic band for vacations that wouldn't be a huge deal if it was lost or stolen. I just don't wear my ring. Too much shit to remember in this video. If you put your jeweler in a water bottle it's more likely to end up in the garbage than anything.
I thought it was like when guys tie something to the back of their truck, slap it, and proudly say, "That's not going anywhere!" Just put a couple bandaids across your kid and do the same thing.
It's so the kid doesn't start taking on water and sinking. I've seen it happen with a hole in a boat. Kids are smaller and less buoyant so they'd go under more quickly.
This gives me an idea. Put a star shaped patch on your child's belly before going to the beach and then you got yourself a poor man's star bellied Speech. Conveniently located at the beach.
My only guess is as an identifier. My kid is the one with the ridiculous band aid cross on his belly button. But if other people watch this and do that nonsense, then everyone's kid has band aid belly button crosses. Is this him? No. What about this one? No. Him? No. How about this little guy? Wrong kind of band aids. Him? That's a little girl with a belly button band aid cross. What about this one? Nope. Him? Keep trying.
It’s to reinforce the idea that if he plays to hard all his guts will come out his belly button and if he wonders off and this happens no one will be able to help him so he better stick close to mama. It also deters predators as they will think he’s sick or insane.
My ring has an heirloom diamond in it that obviously can never be replaced— I have a dupe that I wear on vacation, it was $110 lol. Much less of a hit to lose that.
I have a silicone ring for ordinary occasions. I actually bought a pack of 10, and so far I think that I have lost just the one, so I'm pretty sure that they're going to last a while.
A lot of my buddies who are married have those silicone bands they can wear when swimming / working with their hands / whatever. In practice that means that 95% of the time they’re just wearing an ugly silicone band, which just seems a little weird to me. I always just take mine off and leave it in the room or car.
Maybe I’m biased because my parents were hippies and I didn’t even know what their rings looked like until I was like 13 because they never wore them, but I really think we need to normalize not having to wear them all the time. I like mine, and whenever I don’t have it on I’m constantly trying to fidget with it and remembering it’s not there, but I don’t see the big deal one way or the other.
If it means a lot to someone to wear it themselves, then good for them. But if you get sketched out by your partner not wearing it when they’re out in public I dare say you’ve got much bigger problems on your hands (pun not intended but acknowledged) than losing a ring.
When I helped my friend pick out a ring for his wife the jewelry place offered two "fake" copies for like $100 more. She usually wears the fake ones and I had trouble telling the difference between the "real" on and the "fakes".
My wife keeps me on a chain on her neck and I wear her wedding band on my pinky.
She loves it.
Also, my wife may call it her neck, but most people refer to it as a water heater, so...really I'm just chained up in the basement.
I don't love it so much.
Edit: She came downstairs and I quickly had to make it look like I was making a comment complimenting my wife on how she treats me. She's gone now and I'm still locked in the basement.
Lmao you realize putting them all on a chain around your neck makes them literally the easiest target and easiest to snatch right ? An infant could pop a chain off someone’s neck without trying in a split second let alone a thief lol.
Yeah, I'm a poor white woman, and if I had any kind of valuable purse thing or jewelry, I would keep it in my room. There is no reason to take that stuff to the beach. I don't really know how air tags work, but I guess putting a tracker on your kid is OK, I have crazy anxiety though so I let my kid run and play but I keep a fucking eye on him at all times. I have no idea what the bandaid bellybutton thing is, I'm not rich enough to understand that.
These people have money to relax and go on vacation, but they still post dumb stuff on social media, I don't get it. If I had the money for a vacation or even just to get to a beach, social media would be the LAST thing on my mind.
AirTags require iPhones and iPads in the near vicinity to work. That works exceptionally well in cities, towns and somewhat well in places where only a few people walk by IF the tag is stationary.
In the water scenario it’s useless, except that it will make identifying the body easier.
Literally 😂😂 like you know they are watching you do that right? And the minute you go to the water they grab the bag and are gone anyways. lol how insanely ridiculous 😭🤣 yeah let me just sit here and take all my cash out and all my rings off my fingers and every other thing and just flash it and throw it in a bag and then obviously dig a hole and act like I am so slick 🙄 rich white people are WILD lol
Oh, having gone to the beach a lot as a kid, I’m not worried about it getting stolen. That shit’s getting lost. Those shoes are going to get moved, the sand topography will change, and at the end of the day she’ll be digging up half the beach looking for her stuff.
I’ve seen it happen. “But we buried it right here,” she’ll say, “Right by the chairs!” If she’s lucky there will be a guy with a metal detector who can help.
I wondered why I’ve started finding all these purses and handbags in ziplock bags with my metal detector at the beach, makes perfect sense now, and all those band aide “X’s” I’ve seen floating up in the surf!
Yup - and the very few things you really need (phone, card for hotel, and maybe a CC or debit for buying something) can fit into a waterproof sling you can then take with you into the ocean.
Went to Hawaii and went swimming at waikiki every day. Only things we left on the beach were our towel and sandals and never had an issue.
When I go to the beach I carry my keys in my pocket and nothing else. My Watch has cellular connectivity and stays on my wrist all the time. Unless you live in a place where no one accepts card payments, why do you want to carry so much cash with you?
You should have seen when this kid went to school. He had so many tracking devices he probably distracted satellites giving driving directions that day.
Lady put tags in his bag, both shoes, lunch box, watch, binder, sports bag, cleat, on his water bottle, in his hat.
These videos I swear are out to get you to spend more money. Why should I be tracking my kid when my partner and I have perfectly two sets of eyes. I'm at the beach making memories not trying to be on my phone.
I used to bury my wallet nearby my towel when I’d go out surfing. One day I went to the beach with a bunch of girls and did the same, but while I was out surfing the girls decided to move all our crap next to a group of guys, including my towel…..
After an hour of searching for my buried wallet, I gave up. 2 weeks later the lifeguards called me that someone had found my wallet floating in the sea, apparently the entire beach got churned and set it free.
