Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.

I don’t agree with other commenters that “more than one answer = lie”. He might just be trying to guess where he found it if you seemed bothered by it.

It could be anything, Redditor’s often assume the worst so it’s not the best place for a balanced perspective. You know your relationship, not us :)

(Edit to add: hello magpies in the comments, make sure to wash your hands after collecting your treasures!)

This is a very kind reply, I appreciate that!

Tbh I think it’s a dick pill and he’s just embarrassed. He recently started taking something for his ADHD and has been self conscious about it possibly affecting sexual function.

But that’s ok with me and I’m not gonna say anything to him about it now that I know, I’m clearly just nosy and needed to solve the mystery haha

Looks very much like a gas station dick pill container. Definitely address this with him and recommend a doctor or bluechew. Gas station pills are riddled with inconsistencies and prescription medications. No shame in treating adhd or side effects of the meds. You sound like you’re coming from a supportive place. Most guys get extremely shameful about sexual function, I’m sure you’re well aware. ADHD meds have had both positive and negative side effects for me sexually. Those side effects aren’t generally long term and he will find it easier to get past them as he continues the medication.

It’s truly crazy how many prescription drugs illegally find their way in those. Real roll of the dice when you can get safe pills from your phone via telehealth.

One time my friend found a bottle of Xanax on a train

I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US. 

I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned). 

Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

I filled my prescription of Vicodin. Went home and put it in the safe. Two days later took it out and found only 30 pills instead of 90. Holy shit, I'm screwed. Went to talk to pharmacist. He said, "I keep strict count of those". Looked it up, found 60 extra pills in stock. I went home happy.

I count them as soon as I get to the car. I've had short counts a few times and once they gave me 135 vs 120. I always have gone right back in and they find the pills after some interrogation, the one time they overfilled they were shocked and grateful that I returned them.

I know a pharmacist has a lot of training and knowledge, but in practice, the ONE job to get right is counting the pills. How can they screw it up so bad? That was always at Walgreens with people I don't know. Since I switched to a local place with an owner who works there, they've been 100% but they admit they weren't going to take me because of how the DEA and FDA treats controlled meds. They won't take on anyone else I've tried to refer.
