Deep rooted childhood issues I guess.

I'm the same way...last night I spent over an hour searching for a 1/4" drive spinner handle with a 10mm (of course) socket attached. I'd had it & other tools on the workbench, getting ready to put them away, when Cindy came in the garage wanting some help...so, when I got back, put the other tools away, noticed it was missing. WTF?
Must have looked at it a dozen times, while searching...I'd knocked it off the bench when getting up to help Cindy, and it landed parallel, resting it's handle against the chain saw handle of the same color, me assuming I was looking at the chain saw. Hey, it's my favorite spinner handle, because it had a 1/4" square drive opening on it's end for adding more torque if needed....can be used as a 6" extension.
My theory...must be a holdover from the days of little money when I really had to care for my "stuff" because might not be able to buy another. Nice to know I'm not alone in this thinking..
