Ever had this happen?

Well yesterday I was working on my car and I keep things organized for the most part except when the wife comes in then I find tools in the laundry room and random places around the house and back yard. Anyways yesterday I set my wrench down and then couldn’t find it. I swore I put it on the stool so I could just reach up and grab it but it wasn’t there so I grabbed another wrench and a few min later lost that one too. I stood around scratching my head asking myself wtf? I didn’t move more than 3 feet and lost 2 wrenches so far. This morning I decided put my front tires back on so I get it off the jacks. I put the lug nuts where I wouldn’t loose them in my container slot on the wall for one side and on the shelf on the other side out of the way. I put one tire on and went to go put the other tire on and could find my lug nuts. I swore up and down that I put them there so I wouldn’t loose them. So far 2 wrenches and a set of lug nuts so I said screw this and ripped apart the garage looking for them in boxes and still can’t find them. I asked the wife and she didn’t touch anything. Weird?

They always do.... I've probably bought a double of 60% of my tool collection because I know ahead of hand that in MY garage, something is going to go AWOL....

One question for you...do you have kids?

Yup I have a kid, but she stays out of the garage. She doesnt like getting dirty. it just boggles my mind that I lost 2 wrenches and didnt move more that 3 feet lol. maybe I was working them too hard and they bailed out on me. It was a saturday lol.

Yep....happens to me all the time. My personal nemesis is utility knives. I personally own about 10 of them. When I do a home improvement project, I routinely take out about three pf them and place them nearby while I am working. By the end of the project, I cannot find any of them. Very frustrating.....

I was cleaning the battery terminals on my wifes Malibu years ago and set the 1/2 inch wrench down on top of the air cleaner. When I went to reach for it, it was gone! I looked all over for that wrench and finaly went and got another one. When I got back to the car, there was the first wrench. Right on top of the air cleaner where I had left it. I was home alone, no one with me and the closest house an 8th mile away so I know no one was messing with me. I must have looked right through that wrench.

I've had this happen not just to tools and parts (bike parts, no car ). But I've had this happen to EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE. We used to lose our remotes all the time and my dad eventually got his drill and drilled a hole in the battery compartment of the new remote. He got some thin white rope and tied it to the end table. After time had passed, the string started to break often and so one day I got sick of it and ripped it off. Now it seems fate has forgot to come and get the remote. (HELLO! IT AIN'T TIED UP NO MORE!)

Then I'm in trouble, I'm young and this happens to me too- if it gets worse when I'm older.... UH OH

To a 5 year old you are old, you have to keep things in perspective.

My wife says that misplacing stuff is a man thing, something could be right in front of us and we will miss it.

 

[steve_sutherland]

Your right, I guess thats true

It depends what is right in front me me, if its a [email protected]$$ muscle car- I'll see it right away and wont look away! lol

Yeah, well my wife was just cussing up a storm Saturday because she lost her drivers license...for the second time in a year. She tore the house and her car apart looking for it. For our daughter's sake, I hope it doesn't turn up in her purse with all the fake credit cards and spent gift cards she has in there. She's 6 years old, in case that sounded wierd to anyone.

Dont feel bad. Im missing an manila envelope folder that has a few titles for a few vehicles I own in it. It is or was in my old bedroom at my parents house I it was in there when I last seen it many months ago. Now its no where to be found. None are of either of my Chevelles but one is for a car I would like to donate as it finally died after years of daily driving and the other is my tahoe which I dont plan to sell so im not bothered by it. I have a few other titles in there for various junkers im not too worried about at the moment. But ill tell you what, I have done everything short of stripping out every box and peice of merchandise in my storage room to find it and I know I have it somewhere. Ill probably end up having to do just that, a complete strip and remove of every box and item in there to find it.
