Thumbs up Do You Lose Stuff?

I need to know if this is common. I'm pretty sure we all misplace things, like our car keys, glasses or sunglasses but what about just losing stuff? It never fails for me to lose my list of what I'm going to the stores for, at least once a week. Like today. I know I put my yellow post it in my purse in the center outside pocket, but when I went to pull it out, it's gone. That happens far to often. I usually never figure out where my lists go. I'll go to Costco and try to remember what was written down. Sometimes I'll find the list later and usually have forgotten one or two items that were on it.

What about you? Do you lose things like lists too? Do you misplace glasses and keys? Anything else?

I am always forgetting where I left my glasses. I thought the solution would be to buy several pairs and keep them in different rooms. This however, does not work. I end up with several pairs in one room and I still can't find them.

I have 3 kinds of prescription glasses; sunglasses, distance only clear, and progressive clears. I'll want to have all three when I leave the house in the sunshine but will be driving home in the dark. I usually have to hunt one pair down.

I have a special place where I put things so that I'll always remember where they are. If I ever remember where that is I'll be able to retire.

I voted no, but should have been more like "sometimes." I don't lose stuff very often, but I am very careless with sunglasses. That's why I buy cheap ones. Sometimes I get to the store and can't find my list......too many compartments in the purse.

I occasionally misplace my keys, but have never lost them yet.................knock on wood, as they say.

We have 4 cars, but I only have three pairs of sunglasses. You can imagine the consequences. To confound matters, I will unwittingly bring one pair into the house for some reason, and then forget where I put them.

I lose pens. I can leave on a business trip with 3 or 4, and come home with none.

To make up for that I accumulate umbrellas. I often forget to pack one, so I often end up buying new ones while I'm on a trip.
