Have you ever had anything that just mysteriously disappeare

Post Reply New Topic

So this morning I was sitting on the floor trying to untangle some jewellery, and I saw a small hook from one of the bracelets drop off on to the floor beside me. The bracelet was quite large, so the hook was big enough to see, but when I tried to find the hook, could I find it? No. I carefully looked, and felt, all around the area where I see it fall, but it completely vanished.

How can something just disappear just like that when you physically saw it drop right beside you in a tidy, large space on the floor? I was sitting on laminated floor, and so I heard the hook tap on to it as it fell, but I looked everywhere and the hook is nowhere to be seen.

I was very confused. This kind of thing has happened before, not just to me but to people I know. One minute you are holding something, then you accidentally drop it, and it literally just disappears. That's one of the strangest things about life. Do you think when small things drop, a portal opens up and swallows up the small object, never to be seen again?

Went to get little car parts. These fasteners. Don't like using phone. Drove up and back to order them so about 90 miles. Then went to get them. Another 90 miles. Brought them home. Have not seen them since.
So, to get more involves another 180 miles of driving.
My Mum clears up. We lose things. We ask her. She can't remember. We find them 30 odd years later, years after the time when we needed them.
But these fasteners. I hate finding things after I have bought replacements.

love you MG that's the second time you've put a much needed smile on my face in 48 hours.

Yes. Several times now.

I just pass it off, as usual, as some short term memory issues, inattention, or some type of mental myopia as a logical conclusion.
And not something weirder than that -- whether that's the case or not.

My University degrees (10 years ago)
A handmade Advent calendar (10 years ago)
A 20-page financial document I had literally just printed (10 years ago)
A beta fish vanished from the tank within five minutes (not on floor, never found)
A pink sock that I took out of the dryer, vanished out of my hand (a couple of years ago)
A bottle of mouthwash (bought it two weeks ago, put it on a table, it vanished ever since)
Last week I dropped a screw like you did Joe, on a clean stone floor. It's gone.

Yes it happens.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the 'd' that's mysteriously disappeared from the OPs title...

Ten years ago, I was over at my parents place for a few days before Christmas. Om my second day there, I was drinking a can of Coke. I put it somewhere and when I went to look for it, it was gone. I looked all over the trailer house and it was gone.

I occasionally have things disappear from places where I'm pretty sure I left them (but never when I'm certain about where they are) and then have them reappear some time later in a place I thoroughly checked at least once and/or a place I know I never would have put the thing. No clue how or why that happens, the people in my household generally leave each other's stuff alone so it's unlikely that someone else moved things.

I have bad vision & bad fine motor-skills & take alot of meds & supplements so I've lost lots of meds & supplements over the years by dropping them & not being able to find them rite away.

Happens to me often. I recently moved and some things are still missing. While moving I discovered a few odds and ends that had been lost.
