One of the guys that works for me has a horrible habit of leaving his keys in his car when he comes into the office each morning. IN THE IGNITION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING!
@ruouttaurmind Neighbor did that a couple of years ago. Dashed out of her house to start the car, dashed back in to get a forgotten something or other, and in the interim three minutes a guy she’d noticed walking past her house hopped in and drove off.
@caffeine_dude Nope. The temptation to move his car is nearly overwhelming, but he’s a geezer and I’d feel horrible if he came out and couldn’t find his car and had a stroke or heart attack.
@magic_cave some communities the police ticket cars warming up in driveways, even if the doors are locked, because of easy theft target. They made the law from the perspective of better to learn a hard lesson with a $ ticket than a $$$$$$$ stolen car.
Went into the kitchen to do the dishes this morning. I have a lot of reading glasses around the house and I wear them when doing kitchen work. If I don’t, I miss spots. I couldn’t find the damned things so I went and got another pair. (We have glasses all over the house.) Put them on.
In the kitchen, over the sink, I could now see the grease in the pan (fry eggs in butter). My head bent down, I felt something slipping on my head.

On that personality test that @PantHeist linked to, did you come out as ASHO-L, or are you really just a shy PSCHO-PTH, and you are just too much of a wallflower to admit to your charms?
Oh, I can beat that. Left work one day, reading something on my phone. Halfway to the car stopped and turned to go back to the office, because I thought I forgot my phone on my desk. The one in my hand. Right in front of my eyes. That I was still reading something on.
@Yoda_Daenerys
Glasses are the most frequent offenders in my life. And they are usually with 2 feet of me. It’s what they are in or underneath - or what they are on (such as my face) - that confuses me.
I really don’t wish to bluetooth tag my glasses just yet. My other repeat offenders are my keys. I deal with those by attaching them to my physical being.
@f00l Keys can only be 2 places: hanging on the hook by the coats/jackets, or in my pocket. Makes it a little easier to find them.
Glasses stay attached to my eyeballs; much harder to lose those (I wear contacts).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The thing about my glasses is that I can see just fine (or so I claim). So I only use them for driving, or during daylight as dark glasses. Indoors or at nite l, they’re automagically off unless I’m driving. I don’t use them for reading even tho they are progressives. I don’t use them for distance either when not driving.
So they wander off a lot.
Re keys - if they don’t stay on a leash, they make a fast break for the wilderness. So they stay on a leash. My keys are captive only under protest.

@ruouttaurmind
There are cures for that. Not sure those cures are completely legal tho.
@ruouttaurmind Neighbor did that a couple of years ago. Dashed out of her house to start the car, dashed back in to get a forgotten something or other, and in the interim three minutes a guy she’d noticed walking past her house hopped in and drove off.
@ruouttaurmind Does he lock the door?

@magic_cave OUCH!

Yeah, my glasses. I’m a cliche.
Sigh.
@lisaviolet
I am also guilty as charged of “glasses on head”. And I am a repeat offender. Sometimes several times in a single day.

Couldn’t find my car key shortly after exiting my car one night.
After checking my pockets, I realized that my key was in my mouth.
@PlacidPenguin
Tasty, I hope.
Does that make you a butt head?
@Kidsandliz
I fear it does.
Maybe I get a TV show!

Where’s My Money, Man???!!!
That is the question.
Where are my stupid glasses so I can drive legally, since I have to wear them because the TX DPS hates me?
<10 min later, having turned out my car>
Oh. They’re in the pocket of my puffy vest. The vest I’m wearing the entire time. Oh.
Super Suit?
if this is a repeating pattern:
find stuff

@f00l agreed, glasses wood bee a bit un-stylish, but i’ve found my keys and, in reverse, found my phone a few times so far with this do-dad.

@f00l Best thing about my purse: it came with a key leash. Second best thing: it is too big to easily lose.
