Have you ever accidentally dropped something valuable down the sink drain?

I lost my earrings few times, because all of my mirrors are next to the sink...I should learn by now, but it is repeating problem of mine... I don't know why, by placing my earrings next to my bathroom mirror is the best choice...

i havent experience that before, i hope i wont, i imagine the feeling must be awful.

yes you can just open the pipe. for sure it is just sitting there. anyways, i am very much careful. i do take off every thing small and valuable that may fall down the sink so that i will not lose any thing by accident. specially before i don't know how to open the pipe under the sink. though i am still careful and still dont wear any thing while using the sink. i am not that worried cause i know how to retrieve it. and specially i don't think that it is dirty to open our sink. cause we have a very clean sink and kitchen.

oh yes hahaha when i was in college,i remembered dropping my earring as well and it is frustrating becauase that was precious and was given to me by friend..but you cannot do anything about it because it is already down below the septic tank lol

ya i dropped my sim card which was very precious to me i had my boyfriends messages in that whinch i really loved and many odf my friends contact no.. after which i lost all the contact no.. and taht sim i had with me from past 5 year so i was upset after that

I never had it done before. In the first place it will always be on top of my mind not to loose it.

I've dropped a ring down our sink drain. I never did get the ring back sadly. Several pairs of my earrings have also been dropped down the drain. One was my fault and the second was not my fault. I had them soaking in some peroxide on the sink to clean them and my mother somehow knocked the cap over and the earrings fell into the sink and went right down the drain. I never got those earrings back either.

I amazingly haven't dropped anything down the sink before that I can remember. I do know though that I would probably be able to get them out if I tried. Being the daughter of a plumber can come in handy. Hope that my luck lasts though and I haven't jinxed myself. That would stink.

My husband thought that he had dropped his wedding band down the drain in the kitchen sink a few months ago. He didn't know exactly when it came off because he had been working on his motorcycle in the garage and had been using gunky stuff, plus he had cleaned his hands with some orange stuff along with washing them in the kitchen sink. He looked all over the garage before coming inside to tell me what had happened and taking apart the drain. No ring. A week or so later it turned up in the garage...on a high shelf...where he had put it so he wouldn't lose it while his hands were all gunky.

Hi apples99, sorry about your earrings. Are you sure they are gone. Under every sink there is a U bend pipe. Remove this and you might find them lying at the bottom of the U. Good Luck. I hope they are there.

I have never done this. I used to put my ring by the kitchen sink when I did dishes. My husband was always very nervous about it, so I now put it across the room on a shelf! That way if it gets knocked off, it is just on the floor. I do remember when I was younger that I had put a ring on the bathroom sink. I washed my hands before dinner. When I went to pick it up, I accidently knocked it off. I was very upset because I thought I had lost it! My dad took apart the pipes, but we couldnt find it anywhere! I was devestated, even though it wasnt actually worth much. A little while later, my sister found it on the floor! It must have fallen off the sink the other way! Oops! Like the person before me mentioned, the best thing to do is to take apart the pipes under the sink. The section is called the trap - it helps prevent anything other than water actually making its way to the sewer system. They may have gotten caught in there. They may still be there! (Of course the will be really dirty, but you can get them cleaned.)

Yes,A neclase my mother gave me that sucks~
