“I Can’t Find It” – Eleven Everyday Mysteries That Drive Us All Bonkers

You have just got up and you are ready for the day but suddenly, things take a turn for the worse and you just KNOW it is going to be one of those days. Here are eleven everyday mysteries which drive us all bonkers.

1. Where is that other sock?

You put two socks, a pair, into the wash and now the other sock is gone to some magical land. Honestly, WHERE do they go?

2. I have lost my keys.

I am IN my apartment so I must have got in here somehow. Where the hell did those keys go?

3. Where did the milk go?

There was a litre of milk in the fridge last night, I know because I made tea with it. This morning? Gone to the magical land with the other sock.

4. I swear I put my phone down there

So you were having the chats with someone and you put your phone down mid-conversation. Suddenly, when you look for it, it has disappeared. SOMEONE HAS ROBBED MY... oh wait, here it is.

The "Missing" Sock

5. Didn't I have another fiver in my wallet?

So I bought that milk that mysteriously disappeared and I put the change back in my wallet and came straight home. WHERE did that other fiver go? Did I go somewhere after that? No, I went to bed. Very strange.

6. What did I come in here for?

Ah, the "lost in a room" problem. Why did I come in here? For the love of God, now I will have to go back to the other room to find out why I came into this room. I don't have time for this madness.

7. I didn't turn off the oven.

And yet, you did. No recollection of that either. Are you losing your mind?

8. Password... blank.

As a result of the missing fiver, you head to the pass machine to take some money out but when you get there... What the hell is my password? How can I remember this when I am drunk but sober? No.

9. I ate everything, how did I lose weight?

You had one of those weekends where you just decided you didn't bloody care about what the weighing scales would tell you on Monday morning. But lo and behold, you lost two pounds! How is that possible? I'm eating everything from now on.

10. I ate NOTHING, how did I put ON weight?

On the other hand, you had a weekend where you ate nothing but lettuce leaves and now somehow you have put on weight. Shag this, pizza for the entire weekend next weekend.

11. Honestly, the pen/stapler/scissors was here 25 seconds ago.

I put it on the desk and now it is suddenly gone. Has anyone seen a stray sock robbing stuff around the place? It's the only explanation
