No one

This story is about no one in particular.




One day, several years ago, I was leaving my place of employment. Changing back into my civies. Do my make sure I got it dance.
Wallet, check.
Keys, check.
Shades, check.
Phone, phone, where's my phone?


Now I rummage through my backpack, not in there.
On top of my locker? Nope.
In my locker? Nope.
Maybe if I check my pockets again. Nope, still not there.

In my backpack,? Nope.
My locker? Nope.
Oh, it must be in my pocket, nope.


Half way through the thrid take, I realize that I am only searching with one hand.
Why, you might ask.
Because I am dumb, I've been taking on the phone the whole time.

Reminds me of this one time, someone I know was talking on the phone and she was asking someone to ring up her phone (on the phone) so that she could locate the phone pressed against her ear. :shifty:

She sounded preoccupied. Did you laugh? I would have. :)

Back when I was a glasses-wearing sort of chap, I semi-regularly lost them right there on the bridge of my nose. Sometimes, they took hours to locate.

Did you ever eventually find your glasses in the refrigerator after days of looking.
The only thing possible the world needs saving from are the ones running it.
Oh lord, save us from those wanting to save us.
I'm not a Theist.

Without my glasses I don't think I could find the refrigerator!

Oh, yes. The longest time was nearly a week - I've long given up and ordered new ones. They were in the baking oven I almost never used. I'm sure it made perfect sense at the time when I put 'em there.
