I’m serious. I have to get a haircut, lunch, mail some bills and other shit. I can’t leave because I can’t find my keys. I’m literally stranded. Whoever finds my keys will . . . um. . . be featured in my sig for a month. Thanks. ---

**Gazelle** if we both happen to be right and they are in his pants from yesterday I submit that the sig line should read… **Aries** and **Gazelle** found my keys in my pants. 😃 ---

What about the extra set of keys that you made for just such an emergency? What? You don’t have an extra set? Sorry… ---

Hanging from the door lock? Fallen off the table? (check behind and under) Near the phone? Wedged in with the letters you have to mail and the -er- “other shit”? In one of the the first three place you looked, though you swear it wasn’t there the last five times you checked? ---

This happened to me yesterday morning. My son (who doesn’t drive yet) had them in his pocket and left for school. Need more info. Where are they usually? ---

Check the kitchen counter between the cutting board and the cookbooks. Mine always end up there. ---

Behind something. Under the bills you have to send. Hiding in all that hair you’re trying to get cut. On the floor, after being knocked off the table by your cat and carefully stuffed under the couch (the keys, not the cat). In your front door. (One that always gets me) In your left hand, while your right hand keeps looking. ---

They are usually under something like yesterday’s mail. Have you checked the fridge? Behind the couch is a high probability. Heck I’ve found my keys in my shoes before! My daughter steals mine and places them in the oddest places (She’s 2) and I do tend to forget where I put them quite often too. Hubby got me one of these and my key search is solved 🙂 [http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview.jhtml?&pid=45937300&pcatid=1&catid=108](http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview.jhtml?&pid=45937300&pcatid=1&catid=108) ---

I actually found them right after I posted that, so it kind of turned into a “Where did **Bruce\_Daddy** find his keys?” game. See below for the winner! ---

In your shoes, near the bed. Or in the beer drawer in the fridge. You _do_ have a beer drawer don’t you ?? :dubious: ---

It was under the seat in my truck. Gremlins put it there. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bruce\_Daddy \* > \*\*It was under the seat in my truck. Gremlins put it there. \*\* My mom did this once. She had just bought the car and drove it home and the next morning couldn’t find her keys. She’d locked them in the car and the locksmith found them on the floor of the front seat when he opened the door. If my mom doesn’t lose her keys (never to be seen again) or lock them somewhere at least once every other month then the universe will grind to a halt and the rapture will come and take us all. ---
