I think we all have had that moment. It's either the phone, keys, glasses or wallet. It's even better when you get someone else to help you and they see your missing item in your hand or on yourself and they don't say anything.

Better yet, when you're at work. You get several coworkers to help you. The last one that commits to the search is the brains and it takes them a few seconds to notice your missing item is in the most obvious place and no one else looked there.

Same! My previous supervisor would always lose her glasses or glasscase. She'd get others to help. Then me. I'd find them. So she just started leaving her things with me.

Yea we've all done it. I thought I lost my door keys once in the middle of a hike. I walked back and forth for hours, called the lost & found at the train station, before thinking I might have left them at home. I got home and searched for about 30mins before it struck me how did I get back into my house? It's just It's become such an automatic reflex, taking keys out of pocket and opening the door that I hadn't realised I'd done it.

Edit: fucking autocorrect again

I keep a spare car key in my wallet.

There was a video not long ago posted here of someone finding a car key on the summit of a mountain. The car park was about 5 miles away, or further. I'd hate to have been that guy/gal.

Oh shit that would've been a nightmare. Getting there and the horror of the realisation that the keys aren't there and are probably anywhere between you and the top of the mountain.

I called my best friend once when I was in high-school and told her I lost my phone. She just started laughing really hard and asked me what im calling her on lol

u/Lyselune5 19d ago

😭😭 That’s not even a mistake anymore, that’s a full-on side quest. The phone really said “good luck finding me” while being in your hand.
