still looking 🙈

@Heliograph found my coffee in the closet a week later.

[fgrosshans@mathstodon.xyz]

@Heliograph Obviously, you are me

[nukehavoc@dice.camp]

@Heliograph That checks out.

@Heliograph

This chart is a lie. It is missing the "Carlessly set down and covered with something else in some random corner (I know exactly where it is even years later)".

[rasmus91@fosstodon.org]

@Heliograph whenever a thing disappears for me, it's because I put it somewhere I couldn't possibly forget about it

[korin@roark.voluminum.net]

@Heliograph can't forget the classic "i'm holding it"

[janusfox@animal.business]

@Heliograph The third option is "exactly where it is supposed to be" which does nothing to explain why you can't find it there.

[mellivora@im-in.space]

@Heliograph adhd be like.

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@Heliograph this is truly my cup of tea 🤌

[tomashradcky@mstdn.social]

@Heliograph Sitting on the floor wrapping presents or fixing something, have not moved, where is the tape/where is the screwdriver? I have not moved, gotten up, left this corporeal plain, checked everywhere around and under me, where is it?

[hosford42@techhub.social]

@Heliograph I save this every time I see it because it's so fitting. There's a meta joke in there, if I can only recall it.

[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.

[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
