According to QI, if you look around and constantly say "wallet" out loud, your chances of not overlooking it increase. Can also help with recalling where you last remember seeing/interacting with it.

First things first. You need some food to sustain you while you search for the wallet. Do you have a leather belt or some shoes or anything like that you can boil and eat? It's only a temporary fix, but trust me, you'll have a much clearer head after you get some tanned animal hide into your system. Next priority: finding that wallet. What you need to do is go to the last place you had it and then retrieve it from there. Most people never realize that one very simple and effective trick, instead spending far too much time searching places where they had their wallet slightly-to-somewhat before it was lost.
Finally, always remember to troubleshoot and isolate the root of the issue. If you need your credit card, and you reach for your wallet only to find your wallet is missing, you have two separate problems. Your wallet can be found by following the steps I shared earlier, but you credit card might be in an entirely different place and it's the credit card that you needed right now. Keep your eyes on the prize.
If you're not at home, did you leave it at home this morning? If you're at home, have you checked the laundry pile?
This happens to me two or three times a week. Check your other hand.
We're on lemmy, we're all commie, so we don't have neither wallets nor money, and collectively re-appropriate what she capitalists stole us when needing something.
It's part of term of use, you had to throw your wallet away before joining
The troll under the bridge took it.
U Mad Bro?
Hey, JFP, the internet wants to know if you found your wallet? And if yes, where was it?
I have not, and I'm actually considering the possibility that I'll have to replace it
Oh no!!! I hope it turns up tonight, from under the couch or something.
Oh, hey, easy way to check under/behind furniture, if you're un-agile like me: turn recording on on your phone, then bend over and pan your phone past the area you want to check, then watch the video.
