My husband is notoriously setting something down somewhere stupid and then "losing it". Over the last 10 years, I've learned to make mental notes when I see things in stupid places, so that when he can't find it, I can tell him where it is.

His car has push button start, requiring him only to have the key in his pocket.

Yesterday, while doing laundry, I found one in the dryer. Last night when I was changing for bed, I saw the other on the dresser.

FF to this morning:

Him: My car keys are gone.
(side note: wtf "gone")
Me: One is on the dresser, and one is on the dryer.

Then he wanted to debate for 10 minutes as to whether or not the key was actually on the dresser. When did I see it there? I'm obviously wrong as he was just up there and it wasn't there.

OMG SERIOUSLY. GO GET THE ONE OFF THE DRYER THEN.

FYI: One was on the dryer and one was on the dresser.

How I keep my cool some days... it's a mystery. :beat
 
hahahaha! I can so relate, this sounds EXACTLY like me and my DH!
 
Oh Angie I hear you! Why do you ask me where something is, when you haven't even begun to look? Do I wear your work pants? Do I use your super fancy tool that you carry around in your pocket? Do I drive your van and hide the keys?

Oh my goodness! Grrr!!
 
No husband = less idiocy. Teenage son adds some of it back... Mom I can't find my ID! Did you look? Of course! What do I get if I find it in 1 minute or less?

And I usually still do EVEN in that*%#@hole of a bedroom.
 
Sounds like my dh too. Just last night I was working at the computer, and I could hear him swearing up a storm to himself in the bedroom because he couldn't find all 5 of his star wars DVDs. "they're gone! Un-fing believable!" etc, etc. yawn. So, I get up and walk in their without a word, glance at the racks, and pull them out for him. seriously? They were right there. It drives me nuts when he blows his top over stupid things like that, and I kind of enjoy making him feel like a child for his behavior when I just walk in and know right where they are, lol.
 
We've had many a discussion in our household that lost does NOT equal "thought of something and did not magically appear in my hand or line of vision" as Hubs and my stepson seem to think. I refuse to help look for 'lost' items until they have spent 15-20 minutes looking themselves. In a time crunch, I have offered hints as to the 'lost' item's whereabouts, but that's as far as it goes.

I've been burned way too many times abt something being 'lost' when it's merely in its logical putting away place e.g.
"My coat is lost!"
"Oh, I'll help you look for it then!" *opens closet door* "Uh, you mean THIS coat?"
"Oh yeah, there it is!"
"You mean you were looking for your coat and you didn't look in the closet for it?"
"No."
"Did you look for your coat at all?"
"Well, it wasn't sitting out on the couch/chair/floor where I put it."
"And it never occurred to you that someone may have put it away in the closet where it's supposed to go?"
"No. Thanks! Bye!"
 
There must be something about men and keys... I solved that issue by making a pretty hybrid keychain holder. He actually uses it and it works great. Now the thing that goes missing is his phone. :groan
 
OMG! We are married to the same man!!!! NOOOOOoooooo! LOL

Mine is just like that except that 'SOMEONE STOLE IT!' Yep, he misplaces it and then some mysterious person comes and takes his stuff because he would never be so blank-minded to not know exactly where he put something!

These. Are. The. Days. Of. Our. Lives.
 
Angie you made ​​me laugh a lot :giggle

Sadly, in our house I'm scatterbrain :angel:blush Always looking for my keys, phone, wallet ....But thankfully my husband is very calm and never gets angry :beat:giggle
 
ROTFL My DH is forever losing things too, but at least he is fully aware that he's the one who has misplaced them and will look for them himself. Not that he's often able to find them, but he does look. :giggle
 
First words out of his mouth when he got home?

"Do you know where there is any glue?"

/rage

We've lived here the same amount of time. lol
 
WOW! So all men are really like this!

My husband has NEVER had a consistant place to put his keys, phone and wallet when he gets home. He won't use a consistant place, even when I set it up for him. EVERY MORNING he searches for his keys, wallet and phone, often left in three different places. I do give him credit that he usually doesn't get mad or worked up about it.

I agree with the other comments too - why is it the woman's role to know where EVERYTHING is kept in the house and men are clueless?
