Why does this always happen?
@georgetakei Also me: finds it years after it was last needed and wonders, "What idiot put that there?"
@georgetakei I think every home has a Room of Requirements where stuff goes to be forgotten.

@georgetakei ‘this is a great place’ is how you invoke the strongest vanishing spell known in all of magic.

you undo it by ordering a replacement on amazon. the moment your order ships, the lost original will turn back up again.

@georgetakei
I will tear the house apart looking for something I know I have, then a year later it's right where I looked multiple times. Some people get magic elves to make shoes for them, I have mean ones who hide things until I give up, and then put them back.
@georgetakei And when you give up searching and order another one of these items, it magically reappears in a totally weird place a week later.
@georgetakei The Harry Potter Room of Requirement’s hiding-place form was full of centuries of stuff for a good reason.

@georgetakei I Put it There. It belongs There.

Two months later: I've been searching for this for two weeks. How did IT get There?

@georgetakei Rule of thumb I’ve used for years when it comes to putting something away: first I ask myself, “Where would I intuitively look for this?” and then I put it there. That almost never lets me down.
@georgetakei ALWAYS!
The spell «I put this here so I can find it later» is the best to hide things forever.
@georgetakei I have many such places, but none are accessible to me/my memory
@georgetakei Put it carefully somewhere…
@georgetakei never put new things away! Just wait a bit and observe where they like to hang out
@georgetakei Mentioned this in a diffferent post a while ago; My wife re-organized the garage and put everything on shelves, in boxes and I am now having to buy stuff I know I have but can't find anymore.
