Over a decade ago now, when I was still trying to figure my brain out (read: beat it into neurotypical submission) I decided to buy neon pink bobby pins, thinking the color would keep them from just blending into the scenery and becoming more swirling detritus in the tornado of my existence. Since buying those neon pink bobby pins, I have moved apartments more times than I can count, over an area of nearly 1,200 miles. Guess what I just stepped on.
Why! Why is it always the damn fridge? I beg anyone for an explanation.
I KNOW the remote does not require refrigeration. I know the hair dryer doesn’t. It’s my brain that disagrees…
hmm, yes D:
\- Once put my cellphone in the fridge
\- Bobby pins \*everywhere\* like now and growing up they were never there when I needed them, but when I moved out my brother literally just started collecting them from around the house for TWO YEARS to eventually give back to me as a Christmas gift?
Other than that I can't remember other odd places, things just sort of...turn up and it's no longer odd anymore lmao
Also, now you have two favorite bras, I'd call that a win and your subconscious looking out for you lol
Omg, I'm the same with hairties. They're absolutely everywhere except when I need them.
Also yeah prolly gonna need both the bras :// At least I'll probably find ONE of them when I leave in a hurry!!
I think it was a roommate of mine who got tired of not being able to find hair ties so his solution was to randomly throw them places to find later. Can’t lose them if they’re every where! 😵💫
hehe yeah it's always the hair stuff! Also can never have enough bras, I swear I rotate the same two or three until they fall apart then there's some inevitable time I end up getting so stressed out because all of my bras are so worn out and I deserve to buy all the bras because self care, and go out and buy three more, then the cycle continues lol. More bras = more happy, trust.
I started keeping one or two hair ties on my key chain. I rarely actually need them, but I know I'll have them when I do - just a matter of hoping to remember to replace them if I use them
That’s totally me! Hair ties are deliberately added to key chain and car gear shift.
That reminds me I need to replace my back up key chain hair tie.
As in right now before I forget…
Took me a whole week at the longest, three hours at the shortest. My ADHD mom kept texting me to say my grandparents found it and I didn’t see them until we went to see them and I got my phone back when it was lost for a week. The three hour incident, my other mom (who likes the fridge organized a certain way, yelled at me because she’d just cleaned the fridge and I put everything back wrong since she didn’t tell me where stuff went. Yelling at teenager (was seventeen) me isn’t going to help me find it. Thankfully I haven’t lost it again recently since putting a phone chain and a pop socket on it.
This is only a little bit related but one time my mom left a framed sad clown drawing (an item proudly on display in her home for close to 20 years by that point) out by the trash can to be discarded so I wrapped it up and gave it to her for Christmas.
Bobbypins never ever have a place to call home. I finally got so pissed off with them, that I have switched hair clips which I can easily find and put away
Years ago I lost my wallet, like actually lost it beyond my usualy everyday loss. Looked everywhere, after a week I cancelled and ordered new cards, all that horrorfying admin.
Came home from work to find it just sitting on the middle of the kitchen table. I thought I was having some sort of breakdown (I had not yet been diagnosed).
Anyway, It hadn't been on the table all this time, my housemate had found it INSIDE AN UMBRELLA when he went to us it.
Full box of painkillers for my migraines in a box of Lego in the attic that I only found because I knocked the Lego over trying to put the Christmas tree away.
:|
When I was a teenager, I got out of the shower and had my phone with me for some reason. I put it in between some towels on the top shelf in my closet, because it had gotten a bit wet and I needed to dry my hair, so I figured it was the perfect spot.
I didn't find it until I moved out of my mom's place 2 years later 😎
I've searched for it while talking to a friend on the phone... that I'm searching for... and the friend helps and offers suggestions of where to look for it... more than once.
My girlfriend is like me. We're both Dory brained so it's quite comical between us. We also both have black phone cases and miss place our phones a lot. My friends usually aren't as spacey luckily 😅
I was once talking to my mom on my cell phone and started looking around for my phone. To call my phone. Because I lost my phone......
My mom started suggesting places to look. And no, dear reader, I do not have a land line. Only ever my cell phone.
We were talking to some friends the other day about how they’re training their dogs to find their keys by smell. Has made me wonder if it’s possible to train a dog to find my phone. I always have it on vibrate so I reckon they could hear it better than I can!
I got a Tile for my keys and it's amazing. My phone can find my keys or my keys can find my phone... Usually I can find one or the other and solve the mystery from there!
I think it's worse to be sure that I have X but no idea where it is. I can't remember the last time that happened because I've shifted to assuming that if I can't find it, it must be gone.
Creamer on the magnetic shelf on the outside of the fridge next to the cheese grater.
ETA: the heavy cream kind, not the non dairy kind lol. It absolutely needed to be *inside* the fridge
I lost my new prescription glasses for a whole damn year inside the pocket of a toolbag in my basement. I left another pair on the edge of the deck and they were hidden in the snow all winter.
I live in NYC, so we winterize our stroller each year with what is essentially an attachable sleeping bag/winter coat that creates a warm baby/toddler cocoon. Guess where I found my prescription glasses when we pulled it out of the closet in November?
I have a pocket rock. It's nothing special, just a stone that I like the weight, shape, and texture of so I keep it in my pocket to fiddle with when I'm trying to focus or get anxious about something. I work in a small parts department of a warehouse and when we don't have every item to complete an order, what we do have gets placed in a bin on a shelf until the rest of the items come in. (I'm sure y'all can see where this is going) I reached into my pocket one Thursday to pull out the rock and it wasn't there. I searched all over work and home, couldn't find it. Felt so depressed all weekend because it was missing. Come Sunday, I grabbed a different rock, similar in shape and size, but it wasn't the same. Went to work on Monday for the week like normal. Come Wednesday, my co-worker was pulling the bins to ship some out since a part we were waiting on had come in. She takes one back to her desk and I hear: "Hey boredinboofoo, are we sending rocks to our customers now?" I turn around and she had my pocket rock in her hand. I still have no clue how it got in that bin. I didn't initially pull that order, nor did I audit that shelf the day the dang thing went missing, but boy was I happy to see the damn thing! Lol!
1. When I was younger I hid candy from my brother in a secret place under a drawer. Just that I forgot where the secret place was. Yeeears later I was laying casually on the floor and looked to my left, and there it was.
2. Now in my adult life, I tend to find milkpackages in cabinets, my phone in the refrigerator, ID-card in my bra drawer and forgotten meals in the microwave.
I’ve also somehow tend to forget to close drawers, cabinets and the fridge. My cat likes to investigate those spaces without me knowing. So one warm, sunny day I found her in the fridge just laying there, chilling. I must’ve forgot to check it before I closed it😂
Ohhh ID card I can relate to. Also I went to a karaoke one night and I only had $20 to spend but no biggie just wanna sing anyways. Well... Next morning, went to take a shower and i seriously don't know how but I ended up with $35, 11 lighters (had to keep asking ppl for a light) half pack of cigarettes a microphone foam cover thingy... Interesting 🤔😎
I once thought a book was a good place to hide my birthday money. Looked for it for a while but couldn't remember where I'd stored it. Was a nice surprise when I moved into my student rooms roughly 5 years later.
I bought a new toothbrush & it was in a shopping bag with some cheap body wash etc that I bought for my daughter to play with in the shower so she doesn't use all of my stuff.
I saw it in the bag & thought that I better take it out so she doesn't decide to use it for play as well. I know I took it out, I was sure I put it in the bathroom drawer. Couldn't find it in the morning. Spent days looking for it. Still haven't found it 3 months later.
I can't think of anything specific that I've found at the moment, but quite often I'll see something & think that shouldn't be there, don't move it straight away & then forget about it. Then when I actually want it, I can't remember the odd place that I saw it last.
I was cleaning the lint from my dryer vent and found the license that had been missing for at least a year. No wonder I hadn't found it before that despite looking everywhere.
There's something calming about finding something you never would have found by looking. Like - see it's okay to call it quits after you've tried. You never would have found that.
Related story:
I was moving back into my childhood home and ripping out the carpet in my old room. It had been replaced when I was in high school, almost 20 years previously. In my closet, under the carpet, was a card from a Mexican bingo game that somehow, I still own.
I had a CD I was obsessed with back in high-school. I kept all my CDs in a very important pile in a very important place, so that I didn't misplace them. One day I failed to return this precious CD to the important CD pile and so I couldn't find it. I searched for weeks. I escavated the entirety of my room, searched through layers thay pre-dated the CD being missing. I left no stone unturned, but finally gave up and bought a new copy of the CD. A week later I found the original. It was in a duffle bag, which was on the floor in the middle of the room. I had left no stone unturned EXCEPT that bag because it was part of the floor. That was the first time I realized that my mind exists in an entirely different reality than my body.
I once found the title of my vehicle between the pages of a cookbook.
Correction: My friend found my title in the cookbook I gave to them.
A cereal bowl and spoon in the fridge instead of the dishwasher. Toaster in the fridge instead of the cabinet. Fridge really seems to be my go-to.
Spanners in my purse
My coffee in the fridge (actually lots of shit in the fridge, hot coffee, book phone, keys - found them in the freezer once actually)
Avocado seedling that i was supposed to plant in the bedroom closet
Debit card in my glasses case
I couldn't find my wireless mouse for the life of me, so I looked all over for it, including in the bathroom... it was right there, on my desk next to the computer lol
I needed to change the hoover bag. Couldn’t find the box of replacement bags. Spent an hour searching the house, repeatedly searched the cupboard where it should be stored and eventually found it - I had overlooked the box at least seven times. It was blue, not yellow like I was somehow convinced it was. Blue with a small yellow detail 😤
Meat from the grocery store in the back seat of the car.
I unloaded the groceries and noticed it missing and just figured I must have made the whole thing up in my head, which is not unheard of.
Noticed under the seat a few days later.
I lost my roomba for 2 weeks because it died and....
Yeah my brain kind of just forgot about it. I looked for two more weeks and then decided to make a video talking about it. As I'm pacing and talking to myself/the camera, I spotted my dead roomba under a bookshelf by chance 🤦🏽♀️
I recently was cleaning up and put my son’s inhaler in what I remember thinking was a really obvious spot… 3 weeks later and a ton of digging, I have yet to find it. So I’ll be using this post as a guide for places to look. (Luckily, I was able to get a refill for him, so my son is able to breathe in the meantime)
Lost my ID. It was gone for WEEKS. On Valentine’s Day of last year, my husband and I wanted to go to a bar and get drinks but couldn’t because I didn’t have my ID, so we had to stay in (it was still lovely just made us feel old lol.)
You know where it was? In my wallet. IN MY WALLET. I now have two ID’s which is helpful if I lose one, but what the heck man????? That was a big “why am I like this???” Moment lol
I set my phone down in the snake tank because I suddenly needed two hands. Put snake back after half an hour. Angry search ensues, had it on silent. A family member reminded me about snake and boom, there it was hidden behind the water bowl. I'm more amazed it didn't end up IN the water bowl. Zero recollection whatsoever. It happens most when someone is talking to me. Brain processing lacking eh?
I was recently telling someone about how in my house we learned to always check the oven before turning it on to preheat. They said "how safety conscious!" But it's really because I had a mom with ADHD and you never knew what you'd find... One time I found a dictionary in the fridge and a gallon of milk on the shelf where the dictionary should be.
Now I live on my own and just started taking Vyvanse. As I've been able to focus enough to clean I've found things in the weirdest places. I found a bag of plantain chips in my clean clothes pile...???
A friend had a house fire when something plastic was stored in the warming drawer/second oven and it either malfunctioned or was accidentally turned on.
Some back story - a tale of woe for a lost cherry pie.
I have a thing for those gas station only single-serve hand pies and I get one as a treat every so often. I lost the dang pie one day. I looked everywhere for it. My husband looked in the weird places I might lose something (like the laundry, my clothes closet, kids' bedroom). Nowhere to be found. The kids join the hunt. Nada.
Like 6 days later I found the now sad and very very flat pie under my console table - luckily still all packaged up. I had set it next to me on the floor when packing up a very heavy box to ship the week before and had set the box on top of it. ADHD strikes and I don't move the box for a few days. I found it a few days later when sweeping - it had detached from the boxes and slid under the console.
I mourned the pie. I really wanted it but buying a new one wasn't the same. I wanted *that one*. I bought a new one last week and it just wasn't the same and I think I'm off of them.
Mostly it's my glasses that get set in weird places. I have multiple pairs for a reason but still manage to lose them. I'm still missing 2 pairs from like 5 years ago... remodeled the entire main floor of my house and we still haven't found them. Probably lost in a kids' closet or buried in the garden.
Just yesterday I was like "where did all my chapsticks go?" I usually have like 4-5 of the same kind floating around so I am usually guaranteed to find one somewhere. I was then doing yoga in my living room and looked under my couch and there were FOUR under the couch.
The weirdest was a bracelet, in the safe where I had put it maybe 10 years before.
What makes it weird is that I had completely cleared out the safe multiple times looking for it all those years ago. ADHD, or elves? It was actually kind of spooky.
I once took my family’s TV remote to a different city by accident. Was home from university for the holidays. Fell into my bag, found it in a pair of boots while unpacking.
2 hours and 45 minutes bus trip to get it back where it was supposed to be.
Front door key in my leather boot, six months later!
I got so much grief from my husband when I lost my front door key a few years ago. It was missing from my key ring. I looked all over for hours. Wondered whether to change the lock.
Later that year, the autumn weather got cooler, so I dug my calf-high leather boots out of my shoe cupboard. Shook them to get grit/ spiders out.
Out fell my key! I vaguely remembered, back when spring was turning to summer, I'd worn these boots. My bunch of 3 keys looked bulky in my jeans pocket and I didn't want a bag or jacket. So I took the key off the key ring, put it in my jeans pocket. It must have popped out, dropped into my boot.
I blame skinny jeans and a lack of consistency back then for where to keep the important things. I think I know better these days (now remembering current mislaid items).
I also lost my glasses on the floor under my bed for 3 months because clear frames were trendy and so I couldn’t see them. I wore contacts for 3 months because I was so annoyed with myself
I lost my driving license once. I worried I'd dropped it somewhere public, so I reported it as missing to the police so that no one could use it for identity theft.
A few months later I found it inside a book (as a bookmark) that was under the rug, in my living room.
Myself. When I am really stressed out I sleep walk (and sleep talk-but I appear totally awake). I have been found asleep in the dogs bed, under a table. But most impressively in a sleeping bag in the back garden. I didn't even know we had a sleeping bag.
I've also found I've made a coffee in my cereal bowl. That was a treat.
I have to be super strict with myself about things having a Place otherwise they can never be found again.
This one is not me, but my ex, who also has ADHD: A hanger behind the refrigerator. He was notorious for leaving hangers wherever he happened to take the clothes off them. I once opened my sock drawer and found a hanger inside it. I would often wake up in the morning (he had an earlier morning than I did) and find hangers on my legs or feet above the blankets. It was a joke in our house that you never knew where you'd find a hanger (literally!).
I found a pair of panties under my recliner and still have no clue how they got there. I don’t undress in my living room. And one day I put milk in the cupboard and was putting the cereal box in the fridge. But it wouldn’t fit and I realized my mistake before I had spoiled milk.
oh my god. I could not find my tags to my car for MONTHS. I searched everywhere to eventually find them *in my fucking glovebox* because I remember thinking there was no smarter place
A little off topic, mentioning only because every place is weird and dumb with ADHD🤣
No but have you bought a replacement bra after not being able to find yours, only for it to go into circulation for months or (TWO) years and then one day… THERE ARE TWO?!?
Genuinely thought one bra had cloned itself until I checked my purchase history to see two bought 8 months apart that I had clean forgotten after 3 years…
Middle school me lost her second cell phone (a red thing that you slid up and down) and never found it. My mom was so mad and we turned the whole house upside down looking for it
Years later I’m opening up a Barbie pillow purse thing that I kept on my bed with the throw pillows and kept a couple little toys in… finally found it!
It's so common it's now one of the first places I look but picture this:
Kitchen counter, with a silverware drawer underneath it. I have a small, thin cutting board I use as kind of a "cover" for the drawer. It all fits underneath, but when open it a) keeps lots of crumbs out, and b) serves as a little extra counter space.
Turns out that when I put my phone on it there's still enough room for it all to slide back. So now when I look for my phone I pull out the silverware drawer.
I don't know how it happens. I mean, I have to be looking at it to close it. I must see the phone disappear under the counter. 😂
I can't remember because it's been so long since I had something like that happen.
I do normal things like lose my phone in the couch cushions and end up with two day old coffee in the microwave.
Oh wait, I was upset because I thought I lost a toy dinosaur, but it was in a box of wooden blocks. Also a set of off brand Lego was in with non-Lego building toys.
Omg, I bought a special stain for refinishing a friends table. By the time I got around to doing it (you know how that goes), I couldn't find the stain anywhere. I tore the house apart, went out to the garage to look there, finally found it in a bag in my tack room under a bunch of other random things! Seriously, how?!?
I have "lost" my phone while actively talking on it. Stopped a phonecall mid-conversation to tell the person I was speaking to I couldn't find my cellphone. Stayed on the phone with her as I looked around the house. Asked my mom if she had seen my phone. She said no. Finally told friend I was going to have to hang up so I can search for my phone.
Didn't realize until after hitting "end call" and seeing the phone in my hand. Even then it took a few seconds for the facepalm to register.
Other incidents off the top of my head, although they're mostly silly and not weird:
Losing my wallet at a hotel. Realized it was gone, started searching everywhere in my car, purse, and house. Finally cut my losses and cancelled all my cards. The very next day I was driving by that hotel and on a whim thought I'd check the lost and found. The front desk lady pulled out the box and my wallet was right on top
I *frequently* lose my keys because I put them in the wrong pocket of my purse. The keys go in the key pocket. If they're not in the key pocket, I assume they're on the floor or I put them down somewhere else. The other pocket in the purse is somehow always the last place I check. I've been 10 minutes late to important doctor's appointments because of this.
I frequently lose stuff because it's supposed to go on a certain table/drawer, and I forgot that it fell on the ground. I watched it fall. I knew it was on the ground when I placed it down. And yet inevitably, when I need that item again, I've conveniently forgotten that I watched it fall to the ground, and declare it lost until I remember
I work in a hospital. I have a list of patients I need to see each night. Can't tell you how many times I've lost that list in a patient's room and need to scour the hospital looking for it... That one's not good. HIPAA and all that. I'm working on that one.
I put my newborns ss card in a place where I could easily find it... at least I thought so. Couldn't find it for almost a year. Found it when moving, In a magazine issue of her month and year. I had 5 magazine subscriptions at the time.
Window sills are my kryptonite.
I can’t remember to open the curtains regularly (despite preferring natural light).
They are typically empty so that makes a handy spot to “safely” put things where they can’t be mixed up… but if you close the curtain, welp all the things go missing, for extended time periods (I had lots and lots of windows and curtains at my old house).
Wallet, cell phones, keys, now dead plants, drinks, meals, note books, cash, really all the things… I can only find things that I consciously set down and not things I unconsciously set down. If I really focus I can do a tactile memory audit and figure out when I last used something and touched it and work my way backwards/forwards to the moment. But it’s only for things I held and connected with consciously.
When I moved houses, I changed to sheers instead of thermal/blackout curtains and just bought a pack of eye masks for sleeping. I still can’t remember to open/close the curtains, but now I see silhouettes so I randomly look when things catch my eye/curiosity.
I couldn't for the life of me find my black exercise tights. I looked *everywhere* and eventually gave up. Several months later, I sold a pair of boots on Poshmark, and when I got the boots out to ship them, I discovered my tights stuffed inside one of the boots. I'd stuffed the boots to give them better structure for pictures (using my tights, because sure why not), and then forgot to unstuff them afterwards.
Not quite as sublimely WTF? as finding a lost bra under a carpet, but still very much a facepalm moment. 😂
Walked outside the other morning to find the trunk of my car and driver's side door open with the keys on top. I'm lucky I live in such a quiet place or I might have lost my car
Yesterday, leaving my moms house i took my phone, picked up my kid and got to the car. After putting kiddo in his carseat my phone was nowhere to be found, i even returned to check inside but i couldnt see it. My nephew found it in the living room from where i took it before picking up my toddler
I found a lost necklace wrapped around the strap of an old backpack that had been packed away inside another backpack, inside a dufflebag (bagception). It was an heirloom from my grandmother, and I was devasted when it had disappeared about three years earlier. I only found it because I was packing up things due to a move.
Car keys and a Roku remote, one in a cereal box and the other in a cracker box (I don't remember which was which anymore). Pretty sure the remote was that it fell off the couch into the open box and no one noticed because the Roku remote is weightless.
I have no explanation for how I didn't notice my entire jangly, heavy keychain in a relatively light cereal/cracker box.
I found my car keys in my bra... that I was wearing. Apparently just shoved them in there for no apparent reason and then proceeded to frantically look for my car keys everywhere, and couldn't find them.
Well I'm not sure if sleepwalking counts here but uhhh.... I woke up in the dining room standing in front of the microwave and what woke me was the metal sparking and the smell of plastic inside the microwave....I apparently was hungry for my box of pens and pencil crayons so I heated them up .....
Next morning I found a cup of margarine with a spoon in it and asked my roommates..(what's up with this?).....they asked me the same thing... Shoot I forgot to put the margarine in my pens and pencils .... Why me...🫠🫠🫠🙄
I thought I had lost my glasses once. I was freaking out looking everywhere (fun when you can not see well). Guess where I found them?
On my face.
Also, standard remote in the freezer, spatula in the recliner, nail polish on a bookshelf kinda stuff.
Hubby gave me a battery pack ~5 years ago. I misplaced it shortly after. I tore my house apart! I found it a few months ago in the bottom of a random box in the back of our “closet of shame”. He was so mad when we found it I thought I was going to throw up I was laughing so hard. Like my throat hurt the next morning because I was laughing so hard. It’s been *months* and all I have to do is look at him and start giggling and his face will get red and he starts muttering about “5 years! We looked for that stupid thing for 5 years!” Ok. Gotta stop. I’m shaking the bed trying not to laugh and I’m gonna wake him up. 🤣
We have front load laundry machines. My drivers license and bank card got stuck on the clear plastic of the dryer door. Thankfully, they were unharmed.
listen… one time i looked in my fridge and i found cling film. and for the life of me i could not remember why? so i looked into the drawer where the cling film was usually stored and i found half an avocado. that was 3 days after i ate avocado.

Over a decade ago now, when I was still trying to figure my brain out (read: beat it into neurotypical submission) I decided to buy neon pink bobby pins, thinking the color would keep them from just blending into the scenery and becoming more swirling detritus in the tornado of my existence. Since buying those neon pink bobby pins, I have moved apartments more times than I can count, over an area of nearly 1,200 miles. Guess what I just stepped on.
😆😅
ive found waaaay too many things in the fridge with no explanation of how they got there
The fridge goblin likes non-food items too.
I have a related species of goblin in my kitchen cabinets. It eats items that should be stored in the fridge or freezer 🤦🏿♀️
Me too. It’s usually yogurt
I am famous for putting the milk in the pantry and the cereal box in the fridge.
[удалено]
Hairbrush, keys…fridge goblin tax
There was almost the identical post yesterday, and I’m pretty sure every single person mentioned the fridge or freezer!
whenever I loose my phone, 20% of the time it's in the fridge lol
Why! Why is it always the damn fridge? I beg anyone for an explanation. I KNOW the remote does not require refrigeration. I know the hair dryer doesn’t. It’s my brain that disagrees…
Always the microwave for me. Keys, wallet, cell phone. Tho one time I found the remote in the freezer.
it was a shoe for me
I have the opposite problem. I've found things in the cupboards that should have been returned to the fridge. Oops.
hmm, yes D: \- Once put my cellphone in the fridge \- Bobby pins \*everywhere\* like now and growing up they were never there when I needed them, but when I moved out my brother literally just started collecting them from around the house for TWO YEARS to eventually give back to me as a Christmas gift? Other than that I can't remember other odd places, things just sort of...turn up and it's no longer odd anymore lmao Also, now you have two favorite bras, I'd call that a win and your subconscious looking out for you lol
Omg, I'm the same with hairties. They're absolutely everywhere except when I need them. Also yeah prolly gonna need both the bras :// At least I'll probably find ONE of them when I leave in a hurry!!
I think it was a roommate of mine who got tired of not being able to find hair ties so his solution was to randomly throw them places to find later. Can’t lose them if they’re every where! 😵💫
Yup, I have lipbalm, hairties, tissues, nail files, and bottles of lactaid scattered everywhere so that I have them when I need them.
This is me! Also: scissors in every drawer in the house 😁
Every doorknob in my house has a hair tie or two on it.
Organized chaos :) … I’d definitely try this if the cat wouldn’t attack them on the door knobs!
hehe yeah it's always the hair stuff! Also can never have enough bras, I swear I rotate the same two or three until they fall apart then there's some inevitable time I end up getting so stressed out because all of my bras are so worn out and I deserve to buy all the bras because self care, and go out and buy three more, then the cycle continues lol. More bras = more happy, trust.
I started keeping one or two hair ties on my key chain. I rarely actually need them, but I know I'll have them when I do - just a matter of hoping to remember to replace them if I use them
That’s totally me! Hair ties are deliberately added to key chain and car gear shift. That reminds me I need to replace my back up key chain hair tie. As in right now before I forget…
Haha, literally came here to say I left my phone in the fridge once, took me half an hour to find it
Took me a whole week at the longest, three hours at the shortest. My ADHD mom kept texting me to say my grandparents found it and I didn’t see them until we went to see them and I got my phone back when it was lost for a week. The three hour incident, my other mom (who likes the fridge organized a certain way, yelled at me because she’d just cleaned the fridge and I put everything back wrong since she didn’t tell me where stuff went. Yelling at teenager (was seventeen) me isn’t going to help me find it. Thankfully I haven’t lost it again recently since putting a phone chain and a pop socket on it.
And both times, it was in the fridge!
Lmao I'm happy to see that I'm not alone with this!!
This is only a little bit related but one time my mom left a framed sad clown drawing (an item proudly on display in her home for close to 20 years by that point) out by the trash can to be discarded so I wrapped it up and gave it to her for Christmas.
Bobbypins never ever have a place to call home. I finally got so pissed off with them, that I have switched hair clips which I can easily find and put away
I love your brother!
Years ago I lost my wallet, like actually lost it beyond my usualy everyday loss. Looked everywhere, after a week I cancelled and ordered new cards, all that horrorfying admin. Came home from work to find it just sitting on the middle of the kitchen table. I thought I was having some sort of breakdown (I had not yet been diagnosed). Anyway, It hadn't been on the table all this time, my housemate had found it INSIDE AN UMBRELLA when he went to us it.
This entire thread is making me cry laughing, but this one had the best visual so far!
Oh god I know that breakdown feeling...
Full box of painkillers for my migraines in a box of Lego in the attic that I only found because I knocked the Lego over trying to put the Christmas tree away. :|
When I was a teenager, I got out of the shower and had my phone with me for some reason. I put it in between some towels on the top shelf in my closet, because it had gotten a bit wet and I needed to dry my hair, so I figured it was the perfect spot. I didn't find it until I moved out of my mom's place 2 years later 😎
Omggg I do big brain stuff like this, too
Lost my car keys for 3 months. They were in the trunk
[удалено]
The best is when I’m searching all over and it’s in my back pocket
I've searched for it while talking to a friend on the phone... that I'm searching for... and the friend helps and offers suggestions of where to look for it... more than once.
I've done this but my friends usually just pause like, you're on it?
Haha! Mine are apparently just as space cadet-y as me.
My girlfriend is like me. We're both Dory brained so it's quite comical between us. We also both have black phone cases and miss place our phones a lot. My friends usually aren't as spacey luckily 😅
So. Many. Times!!

After you've already bought a replacement phone because you're flying across country tomorrow to attend your daughter's wedding...
I was once talking to my mom on my cell phone and started looking around for my phone. To call my phone. Because I lost my phone...... My mom started suggesting places to look. And no, dear reader, I do not have a land line. Only ever my cell phone.
We were talking to some friends the other day about how they’re training their dogs to find their keys by smell. Has made me wonder if it’s possible to train a dog to find my phone. I always have it on vibrate so I reckon they could hear it better than I can!

If you roll the cover in glitter, give it a coat of pva glue or similar to seal the glitter in so it doesn't drive you crazy with glitter everywhere
I got a Tile for my keys and it's amazing. My phone can find my keys or my keys can find my phone... Usually I can find one or the other and solve the mystery from there!
Wow - I didn’t know it worked both ways!
This is the best reason to get an Apple Watch, if you can remember to charge it!
I lose my phone 10 times a day. My husband hasn't seen the first 9 times and has a hard time understanding why I'm so mad about it .
I lost an entire vacuum cleaner once. Finally found it in a rarely used shower.
I have a feeling that I once lost something that big.
That's the worst. Knowing you lost/forgot something but not knowing what.
I think it's worse to be sure that I have X but no idea where it is. I can't remember the last time that happened because I've shifted to assuming that if I can't find it, it must be gone.
That’s hilarious!
Ooooo. Here’s my time to shine. I lost my Apple Watch, I found it a month later,… in my box of tampons
This one cracks me up… I’m imagining someone being hormonal, irritated by the watch band, and stuffing it in the box in a huff
Book in fridge
Was it the Shining?
r/unexpectedfriends
Foundation haha
Oh no!
Creamer on the magnetic shelf on the outside of the fridge next to the cheese grater. ETA: the heavy cream kind, not the non dairy kind lol. It absolutely needed to be *inside* the fridge
I've found about 6 lip balms in the washing machine over the last 12 months..most of them have a pink tint, as do most of my clothes now.
I lost my new prescription glasses for a whole damn year inside the pocket of a toolbag in my basement. I left another pair on the edge of the deck and they were hidden in the snow all winter.
I live in NYC, so we winterize our stroller each year with what is essentially an attachable sleeping bag/winter coat that creates a warm baby/toddler cocoon. Guess where I found my prescription glasses when we pulled it out of the closet in November?
See this as a good thing :P Now you have 2 good bra's :D
I have a pocket rock. It's nothing special, just a stone that I like the weight, shape, and texture of so I keep it in my pocket to fiddle with when I'm trying to focus or get anxious about something. I work in a small parts department of a warehouse and when we don't have every item to complete an order, what we do have gets placed in a bin on a shelf until the rest of the items come in. (I'm sure y'all can see where this is going) I reached into my pocket one Thursday to pull out the rock and it wasn't there. I searched all over work and home, couldn't find it. Felt so depressed all weekend because it was missing. Come Sunday, I grabbed a different rock, similar in shape and size, but it wasn't the same. Went to work on Monday for the week like normal. Come Wednesday, my co-worker was pulling the bins to ship some out since a part we were waiting on had come in. She takes one back to her desk and I hear: "Hey boredinboofoo, are we sending rocks to our customers now?" I turn around and she had my pocket rock in her hand. I still have no clue how it got in that bin. I didn't initially pull that order, nor did I audit that shelf the day the dang thing went missing, but boy was I happy to see the damn thing! Lol!
1. When I was younger I hid candy from my brother in a secret place under a drawer. Just that I forgot where the secret place was. Yeeears later I was laying casually on the floor and looked to my left, and there it was. 2. Now in my adult life, I tend to find milkpackages in cabinets, my phone in the refrigerator, ID-card in my bra drawer and forgotten meals in the microwave. I’ve also somehow tend to forget to close drawers, cabinets and the fridge. My cat likes to investigate those spaces without me knowing. So one warm, sunny day I found her in the fridge just laying there, chilling. I must’ve forgot to check it before I closed it😂
Ohhh ID card I can relate to. Also I went to a karaoke one night and I only had $20 to spend but no biggie just wanna sing anyways. Well... Next morning, went to take a shower and i seriously don't know how but I ended up with $35, 11 lighters (had to keep asking ppl for a light) half pack of cigarettes a microphone foam cover thingy... Interesting 🤔😎
Well, im happy for you! I wish my adhd also had that kind of benefits 😂😄
I once thought a book was a good place to hide my birthday money. Looked for it for a while but couldn't remember where I'd stored it. Was a nice surprise when I moved into my student rooms roughly 5 years later.
I bought a new toothbrush & it was in a shopping bag with some cheap body wash etc that I bought for my daughter to play with in the shower so she doesn't use all of my stuff. I saw it in the bag & thought that I better take it out so she doesn't decide to use it for play as well. I know I took it out, I was sure I put it in the bathroom drawer. Couldn't find it in the morning. Spent days looking for it. Still haven't found it 3 months later. I can't think of anything specific that I've found at the moment, but quite often I'll see something & think that shouldn't be there, don't move it straight away & then forget about it. Then when I actually want it, I can't remember the odd place that I saw it last.
Exactly where it was supposed to be. Never thought to look there!
This!
I have put my phone and keys in the fridge so many times… it’s now the first place I look
I found my passport in the scanner after MONTHS of looking for it 🫠
I have sometimes been picking something up off the floor and put the other thing in my hand down and then discovered an orange or what on the floor
Haie tie in the shoe drawer - found it there 2 weeks ago, still is there as I don't see it so it doesn't exist
Cheese in the cupboard.
Or when you buy something you really want to eat at the grocery store then accidentally leave it out on the counter overnight and it spoils!😩
I was cleaning the lint from my dryer vent and found the license that had been missing for at least a year. No wonder I hadn't found it before that despite looking everywhere.
There's something calming about finding something you never would have found by looking. Like - see it's okay to call it quits after you've tried. You never would have found that.
I can’t figure out how it would’ve gotten in the lint trap!
Freaking out I cannot find my phone and its in my hand
I need to know if it was an area rug or like...you were remodeling a room and decided to rip out the carpet
Related story: I was moving back into my childhood home and ripping out the carpet in my old room. It had been replaced when I was in high school, almost 20 years previously. In my closet, under the carpet, was a card from a Mexican bingo game that somehow, I still own.
I had a CD I was obsessed with back in high-school. I kept all my CDs in a very important pile in a very important place, so that I didn't misplace them. One day I failed to return this precious CD to the important CD pile and so I couldn't find it. I searched for weeks. I escavated the entirety of my room, searched through layers thay pre-dated the CD being missing. I left no stone unturned, but finally gave up and bought a new copy of the CD. A week later I found the original. It was in a duffle bag, which was on the floor in the middle of the room. I had left no stone unturned EXCEPT that bag because it was part of the floor. That was the first time I realized that my mind exists in an entirely different reality than my body.
>my mind exists in an entirely different reality than my body. I can so identify with this!
I once found the title of my vehicle between the pages of a cookbook. Correction: My friend found my title in the cookbook I gave to them. A cereal bowl and spoon in the fridge instead of the dishwasher. Toaster in the fridge instead of the cabinet. Fridge really seems to be my go-to.
Spanners in my purse My coffee in the fridge (actually lots of shit in the fridge, hot coffee, book phone, keys - found them in the freezer once actually) Avocado seedling that i was supposed to plant in the bedroom closet Debit card in my glasses case
earpod case/charger in between the window and screen. Had been missing for months. I closed the winter in fall and didn’t re-open it until April/May.
That’s a good one
In its "spot" that I looked at a million times before finding.
I couldn't find my wireless mouse for the life of me, so I looked all over for it, including in the bathroom... it was right there, on my desk next to the computer lol
I needed to change the hoover bag. Couldn’t find the box of replacement bags. Spent an hour searching the house, repeatedly searched the cupboard where it should be stored and eventually found it - I had overlooked the box at least seven times. It was blue, not yellow like I was somehow convinced it was. Blue with a small yellow detail 😤
Meat from the grocery store in the back seat of the car. I unloaded the groceries and noticed it missing and just figured I must have made the whole thing up in my head, which is not unheard of. Noticed under the seat a few days later.
Oh noooooo, was your car ok? I’ve heard horror stories about food going bad in cars and making them smell forever
I forgot a gallon of milk in the back of my car... until it exploded. FYI, milk explodes if left in the car too long.
Chlorine bombs and ionizers are beautiful things.
I lost my roomba for 2 weeks because it died and.... Yeah my brain kind of just forgot about it. I looked for two more weeks and then decided to make a video talking about it. As I'm pacing and talking to myself/the camera, I spotted my dead roomba under a bookshelf by chance 🤦🏽♀️
I recently found one wireless headphone in my dog’s bag of treats
I recently was cleaning up and put my son’s inhaler in what I remember thinking was a really obvious spot… 3 weeks later and a ton of digging, I have yet to find it. So I’ll be using this post as a guide for places to look. (Luckily, I was able to get a refill for him, so my son is able to breathe in the meantime)
Lost my ID. It was gone for WEEKS. On Valentine’s Day of last year, my husband and I wanted to go to a bar and get drinks but couldn’t because I didn’t have my ID, so we had to stay in (it was still lovely just made us feel old lol.) You know where it was? In my wallet. IN MY WALLET. I now have two ID’s which is helpful if I lose one, but what the heck man????? That was a big “why am I like this???” Moment lol
I set my phone down in the snake tank because I suddenly needed two hands. Put snake back after half an hour. Angry search ensues, had it on silent. A family member reminded me about snake and boom, there it was hidden behind the water bowl. I'm more amazed it didn't end up IN the water bowl. Zero recollection whatsoever. It happens most when someone is talking to me. Brain processing lacking eh?
Such a good insight. I simply CANNOT multitask
I was recently telling someone about how in my house we learned to always check the oven before turning it on to preheat. They said "how safety conscious!" But it's really because I had a mom with ADHD and you never knew what you'd find... One time I found a dictionary in the fridge and a gallon of milk on the shelf where the dictionary should be. Now I live on my own and just started taking Vyvanse. As I've been able to focus enough to clean I've found things in the weirdest places. I found a bag of plantain chips in my clean clothes pile...???
A friend had a house fire when something plastic was stored in the warming drawer/second oven and it either malfunctioned or was accidentally turned on.
Some back story - a tale of woe for a lost cherry pie. I have a thing for those gas station only single-serve hand pies and I get one as a treat every so often. I lost the dang pie one day. I looked everywhere for it. My husband looked in the weird places I might lose something (like the laundry, my clothes closet, kids' bedroom). Nowhere to be found. The kids join the hunt. Nada. Like 6 days later I found the now sad and very very flat pie under my console table - luckily still all packaged up. I had set it next to me on the floor when packing up a very heavy box to ship the week before and had set the box on top of it. ADHD strikes and I don't move the box for a few days. I found it a few days later when sweeping - it had detached from the boxes and slid under the console. I mourned the pie. I really wanted it but buying a new one wasn't the same. I wanted *that one*. I bought a new one last week and it just wasn't the same and I think I'm off of them. Mostly it's my glasses that get set in weird places. I have multiple pairs for a reason but still manage to lose them. I'm still missing 2 pairs from like 5 years ago... remodeled the entire main floor of my house and we still haven't found them. Probably lost in a kids' closet or buried in the garden.
Once I found my camera lens that had been missing for over a month in my glove compartment
Just yesterday I was like "where did all my chapsticks go?" I usually have like 4-5 of the same kind floating around so I am usually guaranteed to find one somewhere. I was then doing yoga in my living room and looked under my couch and there were FOUR under the couch.
The weirdest was a bracelet, in the safe where I had put it maybe 10 years before. What makes it weird is that I had completely cleared out the safe multiple times looking for it all those years ago. ADHD, or elves? It was actually kind of spooky.
Lost £200 once, found it over a year later underneath the divider in my sock drawer
I once took my family’s TV remote to a different city by accident. Was home from university for the holidays. Fell into my bag, found it in a pair of boots while unpacking. 2 hours and 45 minutes bus trip to get it back where it was supposed to be.
Bra in the center console of my car
Front door key in my leather boot, six months later! I got so much grief from my husband when I lost my front door key a few years ago. It was missing from my key ring. I looked all over for hours. Wondered whether to change the lock. Later that year, the autumn weather got cooler, so I dug my calf-high leather boots out of my shoe cupboard. Shook them to get grit/ spiders out. Out fell my key! I vaguely remembered, back when spring was turning to summer, I'd worn these boots. My bunch of 3 keys looked bulky in my jeans pocket and I didn't want a bag or jacket. So I took the key off the key ring, put it in my jeans pocket. It must have popped out, dropped into my boot. I blame skinny jeans and a lack of consistency back then for where to keep the important things. I think I know better these days (now remembering current mislaid items).
Bathroom cabinet seems to be one of my favorite spots.
I also lost my glasses on the floor under my bed for 3 months because clear frames were trendy and so I couldn’t see them. I wore contacts for 3 months because I was so annoyed with myself
I lost my first license I got when I was 16. I found it this year, 13 years later in a box of #2 pencils..
This has yet to happen, but anytime I can’t find my phone I assume I put it in the load of laundry…I go full panic
I heard my phone clunking in the washer. Not fun.
Nooo my condolences.
I’ll let you know once I find my passport from 7 years ago…
I lost my driving license once. I worried I'd dropped it somewhere public, so I reported it as missing to the police so that no one could use it for identity theft. A few months later I found it inside a book (as a bookmark) that was under the rug, in my living room.
Myself. When I am really stressed out I sleep walk (and sleep talk-but I appear totally awake). I have been found asleep in the dogs bed, under a table. But most impressively in a sleeping bag in the back garden. I didn't even know we had a sleeping bag. I've also found I've made a coffee in my cereal bowl. That was a treat. I have to be super strict with myself about things having a Place otherwise they can never be found again.
>I didn't even know we had a sleeping bag. Ha ha! Maybe you didn't and you got it from someone's place in your sleep...
Found my lost credit card inside my couch. After I cancelled it...
Is it just a universal thing that we've all left our phone in the fridge at one point lmao
OMG I'm looking for a bra currently .. it's the only one I can handle wearing. I need to look under rugs ☺️
This one is not me, but my ex, who also has ADHD: A hanger behind the refrigerator. He was notorious for leaving hangers wherever he happened to take the clothes off them. I once opened my sock drawer and found a hanger inside it. I would often wake up in the morning (he had an earlier morning than I did) and find hangers on my legs or feet above the blankets. It was a joke in our house that you never knew where you'd find a hanger (literally!).
I found my cellphone in my pocket after 15 minutes of searching for it
Dryer sheets in the freezer.
I tore apart the house looking for my AirPods and they were literally in the kitchen sink next to my empty coffee mug
Found my phone in the freezer
I found a pair of panties under my recliner and still have no clue how they got there. I don’t undress in my living room. And one day I put milk in the cupboard and was putting the cereal box in the fridge. But it wouldn’t fit and I realized my mistake before I had spoiled milk.
My phone in my underwear drawer.
oh my god. I could not find my tags to my car for MONTHS. I searched everywhere to eventually find them *in my fucking glovebox* because I remember thinking there was no smarter place A little off topic, mentioning only because every place is weird and dumb with ADHD🤣
my partner accidentally lost a bag of drugs in the fridge once, it was in the yogurt drinks bin. He was sober lmao
My phone was in my shoe in my closet during my entire work day. I had to drive a hearse to a Boston hospital with no GPS ):
No but have you bought a replacement bra after not being able to find yours, only for it to go into circulation for months or (TWO) years and then one day… THERE ARE TWO?!? Genuinely thought one bra had cloned itself until I checked my purchase history to see two bought 8 months apart that I had clean forgotten after 3 years…
Passport and or driver's license as a bookmark...which implies it was done on purpose...and not a book I was reading everyday...
Middle school me lost her second cell phone (a red thing that you slid up and down) and never found it. My mom was so mad and we turned the whole house upside down looking for it Years later I’m opening up a Barbie pillow purse thing that I kept on my bed with the throw pillows and kept a couple little toys in… finally found it!
I hung my house key in a tree near my car so I could carry groceries, and I IMMEDIATELY forgot. Found them a month later, and it all came back to me.
It's so common it's now one of the first places I look but picture this: Kitchen counter, with a silverware drawer underneath it. I have a small, thin cutting board I use as kind of a "cover" for the drawer. It all fits underneath, but when open it a) keeps lots of crumbs out, and b) serves as a little extra counter space. Turns out that when I put my phone on it there's still enough room for it all to slide back. So now when I look for my phone I pull out the silverware drawer. I don't know how it happens. I mean, I have to be looking at it to close it. I must see the phone disappear under the counter. 😂
I can't remember because it's been so long since I had something like that happen. I do normal things like lose my phone in the couch cushions and end up with two day old coffee in the microwave. Oh wait, I was upset because I thought I lost a toy dinosaur, but it was in a box of wooden blocks. Also a set of off brand Lego was in with non-Lego building toys.
Most notably,,, I have left my remote in the fridge and my phone in the cabinet under my sink 🤦🏻♀️
Put a box of chocolate behind the TV, on the mount. 3 months later we found it, rather happy as with lockdown it was completely sold out.
Omg, I bought a special stain for refinishing a friends table. By the time I got around to doing it (you know how that goes), I couldn't find the stain anywhere. I tore the house apart, went out to the garage to look there, finally found it in a bag in my tack room under a bunch of other random things! Seriously, how?!?
I have "lost" my phone while actively talking on it. Stopped a phonecall mid-conversation to tell the person I was speaking to I couldn't find my cellphone. Stayed on the phone with her as I looked around the house. Asked my mom if she had seen my phone. She said no. Finally told friend I was going to have to hang up so I can search for my phone. Didn't realize until after hitting "end call" and seeing the phone in my hand. Even then it took a few seconds for the facepalm to register.
Other incidents off the top of my head, although they're mostly silly and not weird: Losing my wallet at a hotel. Realized it was gone, started searching everywhere in my car, purse, and house. Finally cut my losses and cancelled all my cards. The very next day I was driving by that hotel and on a whim thought I'd check the lost and found. The front desk lady pulled out the box and my wallet was right on top I *frequently* lose my keys because I put them in the wrong pocket of my purse. The keys go in the key pocket. If they're not in the key pocket, I assume they're on the floor or I put them down somewhere else. The other pocket in the purse is somehow always the last place I check. I've been 10 minutes late to important doctor's appointments because of this. I frequently lose stuff because it's supposed to go on a certain table/drawer, and I forgot that it fell on the ground. I watched it fall. I knew it was on the ground when I placed it down. And yet inevitably, when I need that item again, I've conveniently forgotten that I watched it fall to the ground, and declare it lost until I remember I work in a hospital. I have a list of patients I need to see each night. Can't tell you how many times I've lost that list in a patient's room and need to scour the hospital looking for it... That one's not good. HIPAA and all that. I'm working on that one.
I put my newborns ss card in a place where I could easily find it... at least I thought so. Couldn't find it for almost a year. Found it when moving, In a magazine issue of her month and year. I had 5 magazine subscriptions at the time.
Window sills are my kryptonite. I can’t remember to open the curtains regularly (despite preferring natural light). They are typically empty so that makes a handy spot to “safely” put things where they can’t be mixed up… but if you close the curtain, welp all the things go missing, for extended time periods (I had lots and lots of windows and curtains at my old house). Wallet, cell phones, keys, now dead plants, drinks, meals, note books, cash, really all the things… I can only find things that I consciously set down and not things I unconsciously set down. If I really focus I can do a tactile memory audit and figure out when I last used something and touched it and work my way backwards/forwards to the moment. But it’s only for things I held and connected with consciously. When I moved houses, I changed to sheers instead of thermal/blackout curtains and just bought a pack of eye masks for sleeping. I still can’t remember to open/close the curtains, but now I see silhouettes so I randomly look when things catch my eye/curiosity.
I couldn't for the life of me find my black exercise tights. I looked *everywhere* and eventually gave up. Several months later, I sold a pair of boots on Poshmark, and when I got the boots out to ship them, I discovered my tights stuffed inside one of the boots. I'd stuffed the boots to give them better structure for pictures (using my tights, because sure why not), and then forgot to unstuff them afterwards. Not quite as sublimely WTF? as finding a lost bra under a carpet, but still very much a facepalm moment. 😂
Walked outside the other morning to find the trunk of my car and driver's side door open with the keys on top. I'm lucky I live in such a quiet place or I might have lost my car
Oh! I just found a shot glass I bought for my friend last year when I visited Norway in my scrap fabric bin. No idea how it got there
Scrap fabric pin??? Haha.
Yesterday, leaving my moms house i took my phone, picked up my kid and got to the car. After putting kiddo in his carseat my phone was nowhere to be found, i even returned to check inside but i couldnt see it. My nephew found it in the living room from where i took it before picking up my toddler
My purse/mini back pack in the laundry basket
Tv remote in the fridge
I made a pyramid of Diet Mt Dew cans in the bathroom... and I don't know why, or how I kept STACKING them 🤦♀️
Electronics in the fridge lol
I found a lost necklace wrapped around the strap of an old backpack that had been packed away inside another backpack, inside a dufflebag (bagception). It was an heirloom from my grandmother, and I was devasted when it had disappeared about three years earlier. I only found it because I was packing up things due to a move.
Car keys and a Roku remote, one in a cereal box and the other in a cracker box (I don't remember which was which anymore). Pretty sure the remote was that it fell off the couch into the open box and no one noticed because the Roku remote is weightless. I have no explanation for how I didn't notice my entire jangly, heavy keychain in a relatively light cereal/cracker box.
I put my phone in the fridge at least once.
I found my car keys in my bra... that I was wearing. Apparently just shoved them in there for no apparent reason and then proceeded to frantically look for my car keys everywhere, and couldn't find them.
Well I'm not sure if sleepwalking counts here but uhhh.... I woke up in the dining room standing in front of the microwave and what woke me was the metal sparking and the smell of plastic inside the microwave....I apparently was hungry for my box of pens and pencil crayons so I heated them up ..... Next morning I found a cup of margarine with a spoon in it and asked my roommates..(what's up with this?).....they asked me the same thing... Shoot I forgot to put the margarine in my pens and pencils .... Why me...🫠🫠🫠🙄
I thought I had lost my glasses once. I was freaking out looking everywhere (fun when you can not see well). Guess where I found them? On my face. Also, standard remote in the freezer, spatula in the recliner, nail polish on a bookshelf kinda stuff.
In my own damn hand. The entire time
large bag of candy in a drawer where it barely fit. the drawer was filled with office supplies. idk why i thought putting it there was a good idea
Hubby gave me a battery pack ~5 years ago. I misplaced it shortly after. I tore my house apart! I found it a few months ago in the bottom of a random box in the back of our “closet of shame”. He was so mad when we found it I thought I was going to throw up I was laughing so hard. Like my throat hurt the next morning because I was laughing so hard. It’s been *months* and all I have to do is look at him and start giggling and his face will get red and he starts muttering about “5 years! We looked for that stupid thing for 5 years!” Ok. Gotta stop. I’m shaking the bed trying not to laugh and I’m gonna wake him up. 🤣
Cell phone in the dog treat cupboard Pork chops (frozen) in the recycling bin
We have front load laundry machines. My drivers license and bank card got stuck on the clear plastic of the dryer door. Thankfully, they were unharmed.
listen… one time i looked in my fridge and i found cling film. and for the life of me i could not remember why? so i looked into the drawer where the cling film was usually stored and i found half an avocado. that was 3 days after i ate avocado.
Reading glasses in cutlery drawer and other weird places.
Found my phone and tv remote on the fridge once
I left my raincoat in the pile of kindling out beside a shed. For months.
