I’ve got some painting to do and I want my iPod but I can’t find the damned thing. I know I had it yesterday afternoon, but I can’t find it anywhere! What did I do with it? ---

It’s on the cutting board in the kitchen. ---

It’s probably on a date with the bus pass I just lost. They’re sharing beautiful music, and they can go all the way to Pefferlaw doing it, too. ---

I was looking for mine a couple weeks ago, as I prepared to cut my grass. Haven’t found it yet. I’m so desperate that I am reading this thread. ---

In the Study with the Lead Pipe. On a serious note, I lost my iPod in _February_ on a road trip to San Diego. I thought I must have left it in the restroom in Goodwater when I crapped my pants, because I searched through my buddy’s car and found no sign of it. He called me in _June_ saying that he had found it earlier that day while he was doing his thorough weekly car cleaning. WTF? In other words, good luck; it might be awhile!! ETA: Or maybe not. :smack: ---

I recently found the car keys in the freezer. I wasn’t looking for them, it was more like – open freezer door, grab cold beverage, close freezer door. Pause. Go :dubious:. Realize something about the picture my eyes had sent to my brain wasn’t quite right. Open freezer door again, cautiously. Find car keys on top of the cheddar. And when I told that story to a friend, he said I’d told it to him already. :smack: ---

It’s in the front pocket of your backpack, **vetbridge**. I made a mental note of it when I put mine there on the way back from vacation some 3 weeks ago. I keep remembering it’s there, but only when I’m in my car - nowhere near my backpack. ---

I vote for on _top_ of the fridge, or on top of the nearest bookshelf to the bathroom or telephone. I put paperbacks there all the time. ---

[/QUOTE] The cheddar is under the couch cushions? and you accuse **Half Man Half Wit** of having an unhealthy mind? :rolleyes: 😉 Vetbridge, you know dogs eat all sorts of stuff, maybe one of your patients ate it? I just wanna know what happened to the music coming out of the right headphone of of the buds I use with mine. I keep looking around and around but it doesn’t come out \>here\<. Time for some new 10-dollar headphones, I guess! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-hell-did-i-put-my-ipod/458225.md?page=2)
