Losing things-

Post Reply New Topic

so I can read, basically anything and remember crazy amounts of what I read - even years later for the most part. Having said that, I lose things all of the time! I'm one of the worst I've ever known, right now, I don't know where my VISA card is at. Am I worried, not really - I lose it weekly =(

Anyone else out there incapable of keeping up with the daily routine of taking something from one place, and returning it there - but outside of the house the analogy of being forgetful dies, right there?

It really, really sucks because right now - as I'm taking a break from searching to type this - my wife is raging mad! I don't drink or do drugs, so I'm excuse-less for the most part

I have the opposite problem, i drop things!

I am lucky if i remember half of what i read, but i can remember conversation's from 5 years ago.
Any way, i can't not put something back where it go's, if i don't i can't stop thinking about it until i put it (whatever "it" is) back where it go's.
The same can be said if some one else moves something.

Same here

My mom seems to lose her cell phone on a daily basis.

If I don't remember to set my belongings in the same places every time, they are bound to get lost. I can't tell you how many times I've lost my iPods.

I don't normally put things back where they "belong" but I rarely lose them.

I also do that.

I am confused about how dropping something is the opposite of losing something.

I lose my cell phone often. I used to lose things all the time, but then I changed the way I do things and now, other than my phone I don't lose many things.

I still drop things daily.

i dropped a 500 page book on my foot yesterday

i lost stuff all the time when i was in the army. they were glad to get rid of me.

Sometimes I lose myself. I have gotten myself into some bad parts of town while going on a stroll and gotten lost out in the wilderness having no idea where I was before refinding myself again. I do lose my car keys and every once in a while will lock them in the car. I usually forget to bring my cell phone with me. I have an everything has its place philosophy, but it is more theoretical than practiced.

I almost never lose or misplace things, so it tends to drive me crazy when I do. It only happens a couple times a year, though, so I suppose it's not all that bad.

I rarely lose things... but uh... when I do there's usually no logic in finding where I put it. I don't have any examples that come to mind exactly but just imagine finding your wallet in your refrigerator Yeah imagine stuff like that

I think it has something to do more with when I lost track of reality and don't catch myself subconsciously doing something dumb. Like a couple of times I've caught myself trying to put a gallon of milk in my pantry instead of my refrigerator where it is supposed to go... wow that would be bad not to catch. Other times I catch myself almost putting plates or silverware in the trash instead of the dishwasher... it's annoying when I get focused on something that isn't reality. So really the few times I do misplace things... I know it's going to be a treasure hunt minus any form of map

i once lost a jar of peanut butter and i found it 3 hours later when i went to the bathroom it was on the toilet tank...

yesterday i was walking to to the car and i noticed i was still carrying the tv remote.

Of all the things that I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
