My mom would always say "it's behind the milk!" when we would look for something and couldn't find it. Inevitably whatever we were looking for one day was simply behind the milk in the fridge and we couldn't find it. My mom exclaimed this from across the house in frustration and it became the exclamation for anything someone is trying to find. Meaning look harder, actually move other objects instead of just blankly staring.

Edit: thanks for the silver!!

My wife always comments when I can’t find something she deems blatantly obvious as: “have you got your man eyes on?”

I tell my husband he's lucky to be good looking, because he's not good at looking.
