Taz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Have you ever wondered why when you lose something, look everywhere you can think of, give up and go buy a new whatever it was, and just as you pull in the driveway from buying the tool or what not, you remember right where you put it. Or am I the only one with this problem? I have been looking for a random orbital sander for a few weeks and had pretty much given up. Almost bought a new one. Last night a random orbital showed up. Looks just like new, same brand, but different style. I expect it's partner to turn up any time now. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It would help if I would just invest in some more cabinets so I could actually put things away in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 What works for me is to look for something else, that seems to be when other lost items show up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I am a firm believer there are little invisible trolls that find it funny to move things around and watch us go nuts trying to find those things, Just when you have given up on the item. The nasty little critters return the item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Poltergeists. They're facetious nasty spirits that enjoy tormenting the living by making them feel, and look like, complete idiots by scandalously taking - and then returning - items of particular importance. Take solace in knowing that you did not lose anything - it was hidden from you (albeit temporarily) - just to make you look like a total @ss.

Moderators dtel Posted May 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've been getting more and more forgetful as I get older... it's frightening sometimes. It definitely gets worse with age, like this thread, I forget what it's about and keep returning because I think Taz really got lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet_Hollow Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I've been getting more and more forgetful as I get older... it's frightening sometimes. We've simply got more stuff to forget about, as we get older. Certainly frightening when we forget at times, but also an impressive juggling act when it all clicks into place for smooth sailing.

Marvel Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I want to know where all the socks go... My daughter actually wrote a funny story about disappearing socks, how they ended up in a cave on another planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think we do get more forgetful when we get older, that's why I have two of everything, I forget where I left it, and buy another. For me it's caulking guns. When I do a project, I usually forget the caulk gun. No big deal, I have to go to Lowes anyway, just get another. Now I have 17 cheap caulk guns!

Moderators dtel Posted May 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2014 I want to know where all the socks go... Easy fix for this, always buy the exact same sox, no need to even put them together, just throw in one spot, grab two and go, they always match. I told my wife that and she gave me the look, I told her well keep enjoying matching them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my wife that and she gave me the look, I told her well keep enjoying matching them up. I've been doing this for years. No more one of a kind, they all match. My wife used to think I'm nuts, Well maybe she still does but it makes it a lot easier to find a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
