@Heliograph
Some significant portion of my life is described by your diagram.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz Ok, we're moving from absent-minded to haunted here. Or maybe somebody is gaslighting you, placing random fridges around and acting innocent? @Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph

To be fair it could be dementia. Maybe end stage neurosyphilis.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz True. But then how could you be here to tell the story of that random fridge? My bet is somebody is out to get you . @Heliograph

@hakona @Heliograph

I'm about 10 seconds away from going full Philip K. Dick here.

@Heliograph I am currently waiting for Amazon to deliver a replacement for a thing I've lost. I expect the original will turn up moments after the Amazon delivery .
UPDATE: I found the lost item before Amazon arrived. Panic over.

@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.

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