@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.

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@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

@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.

[proedie@mastodon.green]

@cavyherd @Heliograph Ah, sorry, you meant YOUR story from the image. Misunderstanding.

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@proedie @Heliograph

In other words: You Are Not Alone! (Not sure how much comfort that is.... )

I think I've always been ND, but ever since the start of the pandemic, my issues with this have only gotten worse. My failure modes tend to be the other two, but I have run into this one on occasion.

It's very tedious. Esp when accompanied by the spectacular toddler melt-down of frustration (which has always been a thing for me).
