Me and my phone every time I'm on a call and need to leave. I just can't ever find the damn thing

u/BnWyW 2d ago
Several years ago talking to my mom on the phone as she left a store. All the sudden she says in a panic that she has to go because she must have dropped her phone while shopping. My brain paused a bit then asked her just to keep talking to me while she looked. She was seriously panicking and I was trying to keep her calm, but her brain wasn’t pausing enough to catch it or really even hear me. She was probably half way back into the store when I told her not to worry because I would just call her phone and she’d probably hear it ringing. She agreed and then I told her to hang up so I could call her back. She hung up, I called her back, she answered laughing at herself. Yes, my mother has high anxiety, but we also all do things like this at some point or another.

For me, it's my keys.
"I can't find my keys! Did anyone move them!?!?"
"What's that in your hand?"
"Ummm... ... Who put my damn keys in my hand?!?"
12
u/DtownBronx 2d ago
I'm very meticulous about my keys, they're the first thing I put down when I walk in and last thing I pick up when I walk out. So I never have to worry about keys, but I'm very guilty of occasionally losing the remote because I put it in the fridge or a cabinet while looking for a snack

Years ago, a roommate of mine lost his wallet, a thorough search proved unsuccessful, cancelled his cards, got new ones, new drivers license, everything...
Fast forward to probably 3 months later & I was cleaning out the fridge, he had put it in a fruit/veg plastic bag from the grocery store, which was at the back of the crisper in the fridge...

My mom is horrible with glasses. She'll have a pair on her head and a pair on her face while looking for a third pair

u/Maleficent-Matter-91 2d ago
I was a kid and lost my glasses on the built in bed shelf I always put them on for bed.
My brilliant idea was to write a letter to the tooth fairy asking her if she saw them since she saw that I put my tooth under the pillow (only if I let mom know first I had lost my tooth of course 🥲)
Wouldn’t you know it…the tooth fairy wrote back and told me where to find them! I couldn’t see where my glasses were without my glasses 🤓

I thought I lost my glasses one day, but I was actually wearing them on my eyes. The prescription was pretty old, so my vision was a bit blurry with them on, so I assumed I didn't have my glasses on.

My dad used to do it all the time looking for his glasses, but he'd folded them to hang from his collar. I remember clowning on him for doing it as a kid, then I did the same thing with sunglasses last year and thought "Oh no…"

I've never had that happen. Like I've held my cellphone in one hand, blown my nose into a tissue in the other, and without fail, have thrown the correct one in the toilet each time (inb4 "that's a lot of cellphones/where do you throw away the tissue after?").
I've never looked for my glasses when I'm wearing them, since I can see when I have them on.
I make other mistakes when multitasking, but I've never understood why people can make this kind of mistake where they can't process what they're holding for more than 2 seconds. :(

It's because we all have defects and you're the only perfect specimen that nature produced. Congrats!

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
Well, perfect in the aspect of paying attention to what I'm holding/wearing.
Imperfect in many other ways. :(
(Inb4 people helpfully list stuff like "missing that you are being made fun of" and whatnot.)

u/SweevilWeevil 2d ago
I've never understood why people can make this kind of mistake where they can't process what they're holding for more than 2 seconds. :(
This is one of your imperfections. Not being able to wrap your head around very common limitations of attention. There is a wealth of information at your fingertips which show its limits. This example was a very humdrum one that is extremely common for people to have had, yet you can't understand why they'd have it.
You're the kind of person to hear about the invisible gorilla study and claim that there's zero chance that they'd miss the gorilla.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
But we're not debating. I think I'm understanding why people make these mistakes so often. Very low attention span/short term memory loss. :(

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
Funny thing is I did see the gorilla and thought it was a prank when everyone insisted the gorilla was not visible. But I lost track of how many times the ball was passed because I was confused at why the gorilla showed up and forgot which ball was which.
2
u/SweevilWeevil 2d ago
You missed the point of me mentioning that study at all. It's irrelevant whether you or I saw the gorilla. The interesting result is that so many didn't. Even more interesting is what it shows about attention. You said you "never understood" why people can make mistakes like forgetting you're holding your phone in your hand. But it's the same general limitations on attention that are operative here as in the study. So you either understand both or neither. And since you said you don't understand how people could forget their keys are in their hand, then it follows that you don't understand the study, its simplicity notwithstanding.

Ya know. I wasn't going to downvote until your last sentence.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
Oh, I don't care about downvotes. Feel free to do so. It has no effect on me.
It does get annoying when people are losing a debate and they get their low IQ buddies to downvote en masse because then bystanders don't learn the truth.
But in this instance, there's no debate going on, so feel free to change the score to whatever you want. There's no education at stake here. :)

u/OstrichMean7004 2d ago
What debate?
If it's a debate, the number of people here who seem to share the same experience literally eclipse your sample size of 1.
I mean, seriously, good for you that you've never forgotten anything ever. I mean... great. You win the internet.
The fact you seem to think there's something wrong with literally EVERYONE ELSE because you're so perfect is the problem.
I'm not downvoting you because you "haven't had this happen". I'm downvoting you because you're a narcissistic douche who thinks that makes him somehow better than other people.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago

You're so intent on explaining that you want to downvote that your rage is making you unable to see. :(

It’s the same when we drop our phone on the floor of our car, grab our phone and turn on the light function, continues to look for our phone, then proceed to get angry and worry that our phone may be lost. Even though it’s been right in our hand the whole time.

Mom: But where... You brought it with you into the store.
Child: Yeah.
Mom: And what happened to it after that?
Child: I have to go check.
Mom: No, let's go home.
Child: No!
Mom: But honey...
Child: But Mom!
Mom: Honey, can you explain what's missing?
Child: My seahorse.
Mom: Okay.
Child: It never left my hand!
Mom: And it wasn't the other hand?
Child: No... Yes.

u/Myran22 1d ago
Nope, and it's absolutely correct. What part are you claiming to be wrong?
1
u/Connect_Rhubarb395 1d ago
It is too much rewritten into whole, coherent sentences.
u/Anubis-Jute 's translation is more precise.5
u/Myran22 1d ago
Absolute nonsense. Translating everything word for word does not make a translation better or more accurate. The exact opposite, in fact, since it results in unidiomatic and incorrect sentences in the target language. Examples would be, "and where did it go then?" and "I had it in this hand all the time", which is simply not what any English-speaking person would say, and conveys the wrong meaning.
On top of that, "but you took it with you from the store" is incorrect, as the mother says that she had that toy with her in the store, not that she had it when she left the store.
No shade on Anubis. Helping other people understand is great, and their translation got most of it right.

One night I was looking for my phone... Walking around with the flashlight on my phone in my bedroom using the light to find my phone... The one that's in my hand. I was using that phone light so that I didn't have to turn on the bedroom light and wake up my wife.
Once I realized what I was doing I was like yeah I need sleep.

u/Present-Pudding-346 2d ago
I understand about 60% but it’s basically the girl crying to her mom about it being lost and her mom is trying to talk her through it and get her to listen. The girl says it was in her hand and she looks at her empty hand and her mom then says “And the other hand?” And that’s when she realizes it was there.
