Arrrgghh...why can't men see what's in front of their face?

Not being able to find things and running around like a bear with a sore head is our revenge for situations like this

First woman on the Moon:


"Houston, we have a problem."
What?
"Never mind"
What's the problem?
"Nothing"
Please tell us?
"You know what the problem is."

Ah, yes, you would think ringing it would work - but only if I'd also remembered to charge the blinkin' thing.

But if I'd remembered to charge it, it would have been on the charger, and I would have found it straight away...

My phone has a "Find your phone" tool on the manufacturer's web site. You can make it ring or ask for the location of where it was last connected.

I saw something recently about why people sometimes can't see what's in front of their noses. There was a scientific reason.

Unfortunately I can't find it now.

There's a scientific reason for that too.......:D

We're the opposite way around in our house, I know where all the important things like keys are, my wife forgets where she's put them down within a minute of doing so.

As she's out the door to work an hour before me I was woken up regularly by her in a panic asking where her keys were. I'd nearly always be right (unless our 3 yr old daughter had moved them, which sometimes happened).

I ended up buying a little device to tag onto her keyring which she could press a button on a remote control and it'd beep for 5 seconds to help her find them. I hear it going off most mornings!

She loses her keys most mornings and yet manages to always know where the remote key finder is.

Does not compute.........but what do I know I'm only a bloke.

You could attach the key to the remote. Problem solved.

I feel your pain, I really do.

I was recently un-reorganised. Apparently everything I own, including the sawdust and oil stains on the workshop floor are in the wrong place.

I am still opening the wrong cupboards looking for stuff and can hardly wait for the inevitable disaster when I try to sit in chair that is no longer there.

I noticed that at some point since the un-reorganisation a pack of baby wipes has appeared in the bathroom. I have no idea what they are for as luckly none of my ventures into the various cupboards has so far turned up a baby!

As a female I can read maps fine without turning them round even when thrashing round forest sections on a rally and would also like to have the sat nav in my OH's car set so that North is always orientated properly. My OH can't cope with that and the male car salesman last time looked bemused when I asked him if was possible (it is but the instructions are buried in the small print) !

In our house I quite often get asked to have a look for something he can't find as "you know I can't look properly" ! Foolishly I usually oblige which will only make him worse over time. I'm terrible with car keys and mobiles though which he never misplaces.

Mr B has been searching high and low for a document. He asked me where it was and I told him that it was in the plastic wallet, behind his desktop PC.

Conversation as follows:

Him: ..."I've looked in my drawer upstairs, I've looked in the cupboard and I've looked in the bills drawer and it's not there"

Me:..."I've just told you, it's in the plastic wallet behind your computer"

He then stomped upstairs and ransacked the bill drawer, getting more irate by the minute.

About half an hour later....

Me:...."Did you find it?"

Him:..."Mmm..what?

Me:...."You found it behind the computer, didn't you?"

Him:..."Oh god, you just love it when you're right, don't you?"

Me..."Yes, I absolutely do"

Aaaarrrggghhh!

They just don't......and nothing will change that lol

I got a phone call on Friday night. OH and BIL were coming to a party after work. I had gone early to help set up.

Them - "We're lost, you need to give us directions."

Me - "Where are you?"

Them - "No idea!"

They are using the same car quite a lot at the moment and the endless rounds of 'Where are the car keys, if I had them last they'd be in the bowl' has even got my 4-year-old groaning with 'Here we go again'.
