I searched my roomy jacket pockets repeatedly, to no avail. Finally I was forced to do a perimeter search. The search turned up nothing. So I frisked myself once more.
“I can’t imagine why I didn’t just put it in my … oh.”
But did anyone see you?
I bought a co-worker a drink after I offered one in return for finding my car keys (missing for 2 or 3 days) and he offered almost exactly that advice.
Key pocket is left, the right one is for wallets only!
I once found my missing wallet and keys in the closed bottom drawer of my dresser.
Evidently, when I moved the towel that I have left on top of the dresser that I had just placed the fore mentioned items on, instead of staying on top like I as if had performed that old tablecloth trick with the saucers, my wallet and keys fell into the bottom drawer that had held the socks I had put on this morning. I habitually close this drawer with my foot before leaving. After spending fifteen minutes looking for them everywhere, I decided to continue dressing and eventually found my missing things.
My boss pushes her “cheaters” onto her head. She has several pairs and sometimes she will be looking around for her glasses and I will laugh and point at the 3 pair on her head.
My mother’s glasses have come up:
on top of her head (no, she’s not flatlined’s boss); on the coffee table in front of the TV; under/beside the cushion in her favorite armchair; under/beside the cushion in the other armchair; on her bedside table; on the other bedside table (she’d taken them off while doing something at the window); behind the computer’s ultraflat keyboard; on top of the washer (she takes them off to search for spots); “I already looked on the washbasin!” “but did you look behind the soaps?” “oh”
There’s been times she’s called me on the phone to have me help her look. I start by asking “are you using them as a tiara?”
I hope you don’t mind…but I’m going to say that to my boss the next time she loses her glasses.
Did you have to put your coat in order to check the pockets?
For some reason I need to be wearing mine before I can be sure I’ve gone through all the pockets!
That’s just silly. Car keys are operated with the right hand. Wallets have to be held open, and money taken out with the other hand. Clearly, keys should go on the right, and wallets (and phones, which are similarly held in one hand and operated with the other) go in the left pockets.
Depends on whether it’s an inside or outside pocket. The left inside pocket of a jacket is accessed by the right hand.
This past Thursday I had to run errands on my lunch hour. I left the office and walked all the way to the parking lot where I searched my purse for my car keys. They weren’t there. I checked my right pocket where I usually put them, they weren’t there either. I walked all the way back to the office (it’s about 50 yards) and up the stairs to the second floor (no elevator) only to find that they keys weren’t in my desk either. It was then that I thought to check my left coat pocket. :smack:
Fair point. I suppose I didn’t think of that because I’ve only ever had one inside pocket in a coat, and I don’t generally keep anything in it.
Kids don’t understand what it’s like trying to police yourself. Once my husband lost his glasses and ended up they were on his head but even I didn’t see them.
