G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I normally run around tearing **** up if I'm missing something. I used to lose stuff all the time. I just got tired of it so I designated places for things and made sure I left them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjah Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I look everywhere until I either find the missing item or give up. If I find the missing item, I continue searching anyway, just to discredit the people who tell me it'll be in the last place I look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 You unlost them. That's how you find them. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I usually use the time to create a thread about it on ES, instead of looking for the missing item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If it's something I can't replace without a lot of trouble I always retrace everywhere I've been. For things like tools, I buy more. I have so many screwdrivers/hammers/pliers that any door you open in my house has basic tools available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ask my wife if she's seen it. Doesn't matter if she has or not -- she generally finds it within a minute or two or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 funny this thread comes up...as i'm scouring my room for a charger for a nintendo DS. I know, right? What are the odds more than two people in the world are looking for something at the same time? Slim to none, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisha Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I once learned that when you place something down, like your keys, take a few seconds to vision where it is, what it's next to, its surrounding. You take a visual shot of it like a picture. And then when you need to recall your keys again, you know exactly where it is. Most of the time, we place things without realizing we're doing it - that's why we can't remember where we placed them. If you think of a place to hide your money, when you need the money again, you remember where you hid it because there was a thought process there. But when you come home from work, you just throw your cellphone, keys, and wallet whereever. Then when you need them again, you have to search.
