Question

my dad had a meat probe thats 100 dollars and i accidentally threw it in the trash, but i was throwing leftovers away and he left it in the leftovers, i did see it but i was sure i didnt throw them away, and i took trash out and came back inside, when i went back inside and went to wash my hands, i only saw the white meat probe and not the black one, i shrugged it off because i thought i saw both of them and didnt throw the other one away, but i got scared and tried to look through the trash and i couldnt find it but i think its still for sure in there. is it my fault for not double checking or is it my dads fault for leaving it in the leftovers

Answer 1

It sounds like a frustrating situation, but accidents happen. It’s understandable that you thought you were being careful when dealing with the leftovers. While it's easy to feel guilty about not double checking, it's also important to recognize that your dad should have been more mindful about where he left the meat probe.

Ultimately, it’s a shared responsibility, and it may be best to approach your dad, explain what happened, and apologize for the mistake. If it is indeed in the trash, you could discuss whether it's worth digging through to find it or if it might be better to replace it. Open communication is key in resolving the situation and potential misunderstandings.
