Results: Losing Something Obviously
Published on 10/06/2016
This summer I went on vacation with my boyfriends family and right before the trip my boyfriend starts crying "I can't find my phone!". The whole family spent 20 minutes looking for it and tore apart the living room, dining room, and his bedroom with no luck. We finally get in the car after giving up and I hand him his wallet to put in his pocket and a second later we all hear, "Oh it was in my pocket the whole time" I was in disbelief. Last week I lost my car key and I could not for the life of me find it. I finally found it today in the top my lunch bag, which I had gone through before, and was suddenly taken back to that moment this time with more sympathy.

Have you ever lost something and it turned out to be in an obvious place or somewhere you had already looked? *I'm defining obvious as either out in the open, so not buried, OR a place where you usually place your item. Out in the open
