What's your DOP*?

I'm sure even the most organised of us OS-ers have one, that thing that goes missing no matter how many replacements you buy! It needn't be expensive, just needed at a crucial moment. What's yours?

For me it's my the pencil sharpener I use for make-up. Infuriating when you are one-eyebrow down

* Disappearing Object Phenomenon that is.

Pens.
Scissors.
Keys.

Not an item that can be replaced, but although I keep all my receipts I am always missing the one for the item that's broken while still under guarantee.
Meaning I generally have to pay to replace said item. Shortly after paying to replace it, I will then find the missing receipt. Happens every time.

nail scissors.

I have no idea how many I have, every time I need them I seem to have to buy another pair

I'm absolutely sure the gremlins take them into another dimension......!

Lip balm.

Used to be glasses but with keeping old ones as spares I have 5 pairs spread round the house and 1 pair in my handbag - usually. However if we go out to dinner I rarely take a bag, so it's a 50/50 tossup if I remember to give a pair to my OH for his jacket pocket.

Things that have inexplicably gone missing in the Wolves Lair:

• Earrings (luckily I am happy to wear odd ones) - there's one that disappeared about 12 years ago and has never been seen again; I definitely didn't lose it out, it vanished from the bedroom
• Pens, also highlighters.
• Notepads, usually with something important written down
• My spectacles (I used my old ones til they turned up)
• My hearing aid (again, I used the old one til it turned up)
• The computer mouse I use with the laptop for gaming
• Wii controllers
• My engagement ring - went missing for months,and then turned up in the bottom of my knicker drawer; and yes, I'd already turned that drawer out looking for it.
• My mobility buggy keys (luckily I have a spare)

I'm sure there's loads more, but that's the ones that come to mind offhand.

Earrings and teaspoons.

Where do teaspoons actually disappear to!!

Glasses
I have multiple pairs of cheap reading glasses and they all vanish and I find them all having a get together somewhere
