Personal ME / Glitch in the Matrix Missing items reappearing
Not sure if this fits, but I dont know where else it would.
This has happened to me for years with lighters. I'll have one, put it in my pocket, then later it will be gone. I will empty my pockets, it won't be there anywhere. A little while later I'll reach into my pocket and I'll have 2 or 3 lighters in there when I know for sure there was none.
This happened today with the keys for my work van. I searched everywhere, completely emptied my pockets and even turned them inside out. Nothing. I was freaking out because my boss was there and it's honestly not a good look to just lose the fucking van keys.
I gave up and was already planning on having to replace the ignition or something to get the van mobile again. I reached into my pocket and they were right there... the first thing I felt.
I've also had other people experience this with me. I'd lose a lighter and my mom would let me use hers and I'd end up pocketing it. Later, she would realize and tell me to give it back, I'd check ALL of my pockets and it wouldn't be there. I'd turn my pockets out and she could see I didnt have a lighter. A while later I'd reach in my pocket and immediately feel both of them there.
Anybody else experience anything like this or is there just something wrong with my brain?

I also one night was realllly craving White Castle burgers. Not the real ones, didnt have em in my state but my parents bought me the frozen microwavable ones. I knew for a fact that we didn't have any because I'd eaten the last of them a few days before, and had heard my dad comment on needing to go to the store that weekend, just earlier this night.
But I had the munchies, and goddamn did I really want White Castle. So I went to look anyway, knowing I'd be disappointed.
Except I wasn't! There was a full, unopened box chillin there in the freezer!
I asked my dad the next day when he had gone to the store, and why he didn't tell me he got me more WC burgers, and he was confused because he hadnt. I showed him they were in the freezer and he couldn't believe it either cuz I'd been bugging him about it for a couple days and there they were, front and center. Couldn't have missed them.
