If it makes you feel any better, I once had a roommate help me tear our apartment apart trying to find a particular oversized mug… that was found in exactly the same spot in the cabinet in which it was always stored. :smack: ---

I found my nametag for work inside my printer. My nametag usually lives on the shirt I wore the last time I worked. But the other day I did laundry, so I took it off the shirt and set it on my desk–which is where the printer is. So the next time I got ready to go to work, I searched for my nametag on my desk. Flipped up papers, looked on the floor, rechecked shirts . . . Fail. Miserable Fail. And then, I went to work without it. After work, I sat down at my computer, and just for fun peeked in the paper tray of the printer. Nametag!. Still undecided on the idiot or not competition.
