I have never lost a wallet or a set of keys, never.
Wife: Somebody call all my phone
Me: s'it in your car?
Wife: Nope.
Me: Downstairs?
Wife: Don't know, have to look. Continues to watch her TV show.
I can't understand why some people just can't put things back or find a place for the same items. My utility knife and two mid side screw driver is always in my desk drawers along with the garage opener and keys, phone and wallet. What is so difficult about that? My younger boy is very good. When he was old enough to take off his own shoe while having to sit to do so, would put his shoe in the corner at grandma's house. My older old, would kick it across the room and leave it there if we don't catch him. This is something one is born with?
I know the same people who are always looking for their siht due to lack of self discipline about putting things back in its place.
I had a guy that worked for us. Daily he would borrow tools or power tools so he can finish up his task. By the end of the day, the men had to go around the job site to pick up all their personal tools from Tape measures, extension cords and simple suppliers like boxes of wire nuts. That SOB will just hop in his car and go home. After two week of complains from others, I had a talk with him. It got better for one day so I decided to pay everyone over time for cleaning up his crap, and anything lost came out of his pay check. It was about 1500 bucks. That siht stopped immediately. I had to let him go after 4 months.
If its something that can be replaced, I don't really sweat it unless it is a high dollar item. If not, I neither buy another or it will show up on it own eventually. When I worked for my father, we would drop a small diamond then it goes bouncing into some corner within the shop. We get on all fours and find it eventually. Some of the time, it would take a few hours and we had to move a bunch of crap but usually it comes up within 10 min of looking. Fun days. I normally get deflated when I drop something small in my office. I hear it bounce, then gone! I know if we can find that 'lil diamond, the small screw can easily be found.
