I searched the house over for my car keys only to find them in my hand.
Me too! More than once.
I searched the house over for my car keys only to find them in my hand.
That is actually getting easier to do. My phone has a "gestures" setting where if I shake it twice in a short chopping motion, the flashlight comes on. So it would be really easy to whip it out without even thinking about it, chop chop, "Hmm... Can't see that phone anywhere..."
That's funny!Hey Eveyrone,
A long time ago when I was a kid, my Dad once went to the fridge for a jar of pickles.
But instead of a delectable, crunchy delight, he opened the jar and found -- used paper towels. Table scraps. And peach pits. In other words... he found the pickle jar my Mom had been using as a trash receptable after lunch, then accidentlly put back into the fridge. We all got a good laugh out of it because of my Dad's reaction, and we still bring it up to this day.
A few days ago, I mysteriously found a bottle of glue in my fridge. And I have sometimes found boxes of leftovers in my storage closet. I'd like to say it's someone else who is going crazy and misplacing all these things, but unfortunately, I'm the only one who dwells in this particular space.
What stories do you have of some of the strangest things you or others have misplaced -- and the even stranger places where they were found?![]()
What kind of woodshopping do you do?I lost a pair of 'up close' glasses in my wood shop about 5 years ago. They are still MIA1
Cool!I have pretty much shut down the shop due to health reasons. I mostly made smaller craft items, like trinket boxes, a few adirondack chairs, picture frames, handmade pens and some other lathe work.
I really like vintage tools. My table saw is 90 years old and still passes the dime test. It's about 95% original and runs like a champ.
Cool!
Do you have any pictures to share?
It's always interesting to see what others do.
Very nice work.
