My wife is a great “organizer”. When i can’t find something, five’ll get you ten she’s organized it into a new secret location because SHE doesn’t use it, hence it should be put someplace where it doesn’t clutter up the stuff SHE uses.
I must be married to her sister. That is exactly what happens here. My wife has to move everything she touches. She might move it an inch or she might move it to some unknown location, but it will be moved.
Same. We oughta go punch their Momma right in the mouth!
The worst part is that she acts like I should know where it is since she put it in the proper place.
My cordless DeWalt impact screwdriver is missing. It isn't in the house, the garage, nor the rec cabin. I'm guessing it's under the snow either here or at the rec cabin....
I'll have to buy a new one. (Damn! ) I'll need one before spring to take down some sheetrock we recently put up in the rec cabin. Got ahead of myself on that.
My bad - I didn't go through/trace the last two owners' wiring until this past weekend, and it's AFU.
If the missing driver is under the snow, it's probably shot anyway. No reason, tho, not to have two working ones if it isn't.
Someone also "lost" some "temporary wiring" on the top floor. Why else would there be two hot wires into a single ceiling light outlet, and no switch on one of them - at least both go thru a breaker in the 2nd floor box.. One of the other three "dead" wires in that ceiling outlet goes to a wall outlet (hooked it to a live for tracing) . Who the hell runs wall outlet wiring from a ceiling fixture? 'Sposed to go the other way! No idea where the "dead" other two go. One probably goes to the outside deck light - which is getting "lost" in my remodel/refinish starting-to-look-like-new career..... #&**!. Removal/reroutingis on the agenda, so some unfinished ceiling ( and probably wall) sheetrock needs to come back down.
But I need that "lost" DeWalt.... there is a reason I no longer use nails....
SIGH!
And to think, all I wanted to do 10 months ago was to build a better stairs. That's not started yet - one of those deals where you can't get from A to B without going through half the rest of the alphabet. The scenic route!

Me: "Where did you put such and such that was sitting right HERE?"
Her: "I didn't touch it. You must have used it. Is it in the garage?"
Me: "I haven't used it since last winter and it sat right HERE on this bench in the entryway all summer long."
Her: "Well I haven't seen it..."
AHHHHHHH

And here I was thinking it’s a Chinese thing. Must be one of those sex-linked traits they told us about in Biology class.
I don't usually lose stuff, but sometimes have a difficult time laying my hands on stuff when i need it.
Was tooling up my buggy at work a few nights ago, for a job that comes around frequently. I know before I start what I need to finish. Got out to the job and I can't find my 3/4 drive 1 13/16 socket. Clearly remember taking it out of the locker. Went and borrowed a socket, and got the job done. Putting those tools up, and I drop the socket in my front pocket to return it. Click... Did that whole job with that big ass socket in my front pocket.
Kinda like losing your safety glasses on top your head. You don't find them til you try to put a hard hat over them...
Can't find the one & only spotting scope window mount I've ever had. Bought it years ago, take it out of the truck at the end of every season, put it in the one & only place it EVER goes, go to get it last month...gone. Gutted both trucks and camper multiple times, every closet repeatedly...gone. Bought a new one.
Big question is why do I (we) go back and look in the same places we've already looked, and not just once?
Dunno about you, but I go back because it often ends up being there after all. Happened to me about three days ago with a tube of sealant. Swore and bedamned it was in a blue tube; turned out it was clear, like the sealant. I literally looked right through it the first time.
I usually lose something and then find it looking for something else when I am not needing the first item anymore. Aggravating. I once lost a wheel spacer for my dirt bike. I ended up driving 30 miles to find the closest one in stock for a big race I was going to. I moved out a couple months later and thought I'd find that spacer when I stripped down to bare walls and floor. Nope.
