Where was the last place you had them? (1 Viewer)

[parasaurolophus]

This is the most useless question when you are trying to find something. If I knew the last place I had it, I would know where it is and wouldn't be looking for it.

Man: I cant find my keys

Wife: Where was the last place you had them?

Man: In my pocket. Holy crap. There they are. Thanks honey.

This has happened exactly never.

No one says that. What people say is "where is the last place you remember having them?" Bolded the important part in case you're still not getting it.

It's ALWAYS the last place you look.

Not me. I like to keep looking well after I've found them.

It's the only way to be absolutely sure.

I tell people they are probably where they left them

As an outsider who has no idea where you might have put something, it seems logical to ask some kind of questions about what locations the item might have been put. It even makes more sense to try to help walk the person back to where they last remember having the item and maybe come up with a location they may have inadvertently set the object down.

As someone that helps people find lost stuff regularly, I have to disagree with you. It's the most important question. You determine the last place that the person knew they had the object and then look everywhere they went after that. It's pretty simple actually.

When my kids ask "Where is my ...." I always answer "Right where you left it". It gets them every time!

What's with the cab drivers and B.O.? Just how long are these shifts? It's like they just get in the cab and drive 'til they are dead. Then they always have that cherry popit on the dashboard. Like that's suppose to be some kind of an improvement. Now you've got the cherry flavored B.O. I can't even imagine fruit going that long without a shower.

In my house it is more of going to ask my wife where she moved something after I put it into the place that it belongs. Drives me insane, which is probably her goal to begin with.

My wife immediately forgets after she moves something. Typical exchange...

Me: Where's my coat? I just put it on the back of the chair (right before I'm about the leave).

Her: I don't know honey.

Me: Well I put it right there 10 minutes ago.

Her: I think I moved it.

Me: Where did you move it?

Her: I would have either put it in the entry closet, our bedroom closet or hung it over your office chair.

Me: OK. But where DID you put it? It was 10 minutes ago.

Her:

apparently you just need to ask her "where was the last place you remember putting it" She will instantly remember.

Not me - I keep looking even after I've found them.

I started doing this one:

Wife: Have you seen my keys?

Me: Yeah, they are in the key section.

Her: #### you.
