still looking 🙈

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@Mellivora so many out there have that... I think this particular "annoyance" of a condition is on crossroads with many other occurrences in life, that circumstancially leads us to not finding where we put our shit ...

[travisfw@fosstodon.org]

@Heliograph where is the "my mental state prevents me from seeing it when I look directly at it"

I will look in the same places three times, and then ask someone else to look, and it's there in one of the obvious places I checked thrice.

I literally can't win.

But, I mean, it could also have been misplaced or well placed and forgotten. That too.

When I find it, sometimes I put it back where I found it, because that is the one place I will remember and look first next time.

@korin @Heliograph

– What’s wrong?
– I can’t find my phone.
– Dude, we are talking over the phone.

[secretsloth@mastodon.art]

@proedie @korin @Heliograph have done this, can confirm it is the worst.

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@secretsloth have you tried taking off glasses you are not wearing?? @proedie @korin

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@hosford42 keep thinking

[proedie@mastodon.green]

@Heliograph @secretsloth @korin Yes. I also woke up one morning with my glasses still on.

@Heliograph

Or—hear me out....

(Spoiler: those with #ADHD are incompletely evolved teleports.)

[secretsloth@mastodon.art]

@Heliograph @proedie @korin and looking on my head for the glasses that should be there

[secretsloth@mastodon.art]

@proedie @Heliograph @korin only one?

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@proedie hahahahaha I haven't yet but it is only a matter of time @secretsloth @korin

[dzwiedziu@mastodon.social]

@cavyherd
I'm so putting teleport to hand enchantments on my Things as soon as I get my magic licence.

@Heliograph

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@dzwiedziu @Heliograph

It's an important precaution!

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@proedie @korin @Heliograph get them to hang up and call you back. Then you perhaps can find it by following the sound....unless on silent.

[proedie@mastodon.green]

@alsvha @korin @Heliograph Good idea!

[proedie@mastodon.green]

@cavyherd @Heliograph ... and where I looked at least twice!!!

[mage_of_chaos@mastodon.social]

@proedie @korin @Heliograph

Not that phone the one that was stolen.

"Oh"

Yeah.

[marleysmum@mastodon.au]

@proedie @korin @Heliograph I’ve done that! I’ve also walked around looking for my glasses while they were on the top of my head.

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@proedie @Heliograph

I actually watched the teacher that inspired this theory do •exactly• this. Searched the drawer where the key was supposed to be; couldn't find it. Searched •the entire seven room apartment•; couldn't find it. Looked in the drawer •again•; no joy.

While she was on the phone, busting the chops of the assistant who was supposed to have put it in the drawer—absently pulled the drawer open, & there it was.

[proedie@mastodon.green]

@cavyherd @Heliograph That was a true story from my personal experience, actually.
