Do you often lose things in your own place?

Question

Like misplacing them then completely forgetting where you put them. If so what is the most common item that you lose?

I don't even know how I managed to lose 3 new lighters in my own place... In fact sometimes I think it is a miracle that I manage to survive while being so scatterbrained.

hey, it is a well known fact i have various portholes to other dimensions... im learning that it actually works best when more people are creating the vibration for the item,,, therefore manifesting it together by enhanced force... another expert.. top of the range lifetime changing bit of advice that shifted my existence... is.. CHANGE YOUR STANCE or point of view... get up move around... go out the room come back in with intent and it will appear to your realm... i know and swear down for a fucking fact that my mood alone can create a reality in the timeline where purely because of my bat shit cray cray moment in time, i search in a place, a small place for something im freakin after... several times its not there... upon reaching a levelling, upon returning it is immediately there... if we experiencing the universe as a manifestation and we can only receive the frequency we give out. then souls like us owe it to ourselves to create order... i literally last night found, ordered a new charger for, took up to bed, walked around a bit, settled, then realised id lost it!! ffs i take meds then immediately im not sure if i did, i pretty much have to go on, if i have a memory of thinking i should take my morning or evening meds, then most likely i did take them, but have no recollection memory of doing it... so i have a treasure trove somewhere of things in a safe place...

Absolutely, I get so irritated about it too.  "Where the hell is my _______?" When I am the one who misplaced whatever it is. My phone, my headphones, my backpack, my lip gloss, my glasses...

I have two nice lighters missing from my place since earlier this year.

The timing of their disappearance happened to coincide with a contractor's presence in my home in the location where the lighters were used and kept for quite a few years.
What a coincidence, huh?

Other than that event, yes, I do misplace things at times, more often than I like.

My most recent mislaid item was a small funnel.
It was lost for about a month.
I found it the other day.

I go nuts when I misplace things, being obsessed until I finally find them.

Here's a story of a lost item that freaks me out.

As a little kid, my dad gave me a pair of pliers.
I had them for several years, then they disappeared.
I searched for them for years.
I finally gave up the search when, as an adult, I bought my first house.
Fast forward approximately 35 years and two more moves to new houses.
One day, there they were, out in the open on my garage workbench, close to 50 years after their disappearance.
That was several years ago.
I still have them.

Cue the Twilight Zone music.

I'm actually the opposite, I know where it is as long as it's not moved, this explains why you always got crackhead lighters tho, you lose em and then you go to the gas station real quick 💀

I have a real knack for carrying the TV remote with me when I get up and I take it to another room-usually the kitchen and setting it down in there and leaving it there when I go back. No reason at all to carry it with me and yet I must do it 75% of the time I get up.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

No not really, but there was this one incident where it did happen. I had a hot wheel, and this one was special to me as I’ve had it basically since I developed brain cells (age of 3 or 4 years). I call it my Legacy Corvette, it was a shiny dark red corvette with black flames. One day it was on my book shelf where it was supposed to be and then it vanished. I think I left the room either for a few minutes to check on something or it was the day after that. Still bullshit either way and it still annoys me. That was literally the only hot wheel of the dozens upon dozens I had that I wanted to keep until I die and for no reason it just vanishes like a crappy boyfriend or something.

I don't, but my wife often does. She can be really scatterbrained, and often tries to get more organized - the problem is that she often loses track of said new organizing...

Yes. Everyday. Mostly my phone.
