I lost a butt plug for 8 months because the safe spot was a giant container of condoms. I only found it because it glows in the dark and I thought the container was haunted when I woke up after a 2 hour nap.
Midway through reading the first line of your comment I was extremely worried
Always always always have a flared base.
Not always guaranteed even with that, be careful folks, I barely escaped an embarrassing trip to the ER.
Ha ha, I as well was worried this story took a dark turn.
I want a glow in the dark butt plug! That sounds awesome.
I got mine from a local shop, but it looks like there are a bunch of different options available online from the quick search I just did… Mine is glass and kinda looks like this one.
New opportunities for uranium glass
New product line : Uranus glass
It’s safe, though. Uranalium™ has been deeply tested for safety.
The true lesson is people with ADHD shouldn’t have a collection of rocks based on the alphabet. So what if Z is missing. It looked nothing like a Z. Get over it. Maybe it is actually somewhere around here though. I’m tired now. Yo, where’s the Z shaped rock? Now I’m extremely tired. Finally. But that rock? Oh well. Zzzzzz
Where’s that freaking Z shaped rock??? Let’s build a new one!!!
Fuck. Now I need this.
Remember where you looked first and put it there when you find it.
Not everything can go on the kitchen counter
Try me.
That’s a tip I got from Adam Savage. The item lives where you first thought went. Works surprisingly well for me as someone who commonly forgets where I leave things.
That only works if your brain can grasp the concept of things having a proper place, which I assure you my wife’s brain does not.
you assume after finding it, i remember where i looked first? usually I forget midway, what I’m looking for.
Only if it’s something new that doesn’t have categorically correct spot. If you put it in the “wrong” spot it’s going to leave the visible universe for us and you better be there every time we need it. LOL
OTOH, one of the few coping techniques I’ve found to be helpful is when I absolutely MUST not lose something, especially to take with me somewhere on the next day, to loudly proclaim “I’m going to lose this thing, so I’m putting it here so I know where the fuck I lost it” - and making a big deal about it usually helps solve that problem.
…if I do remember that I need it the next day, of course. But more often than not I wake up and remember “I need the thing”. :)
That’s when I put the thing with my keys, so I’m forced to see it when I go to leave. Doesn’t work when the thing I need to remember is refrigerated, though. (I forget to bring lunch so often, my work locker is full of back-up snacks.)
Your technique is my technique. For things that can’t wait by the door, I use whatever object will jog my memory. Fork for lunch, helmet for bike, charging cable for devices, etc.
I’ll put my keys on top of my lunch in the fridge, because then I can’t leave without remembering my lunch.
The problem comes when I am going out of my mind looking for my keys, screaming that I’m going to be late, until I finally remember that I made lunch, and the keys are with it.
When me or my wife can’t find something we like to say “I remember putting it in a very smart place” or “it must be in a very smart place”.
“Logical place” was my mom’s legendary hidden spot.
I always check the floor next to the piano last.
Nah, for me if it is moved without my knowledge or put away where I’m not aware of, I’ll never find it again because i find stuff by looking back at memories of where I remember I last saw it. Most of the time when i couldn’t find something i was certain i should know where it was, was because my ex had moved it when “tidying up”, but because that overcoat thing meant nothing to her, she didn’t keep a memory of where she put it.
