Been shopping on the other side of town - involved 4 buses. Sitting on the last one - nearly home - suddenly thought ‘Where’s my face mask’? Didn’t want to lose it as it was sent to me by my cousin in Dublin and had a shamrock embroidered on it. Looked in handbag - not there. Looked in both shopping bags - not there either. Felt upset - then realised- I was already wearing the silly thing!!
There’s no hope.

I do know that feeling but with my glasses, I forget they are perched on the top of my head and waste so much time looking for them.

hahaha, reminds me of when I’m searching high and low for my specs and they are on my eyes! LOL, don’t feel so alone, I bet every member on OFC has a tale to tell. So funny.

I’m sure we have all done that. These days I use cargo pants. Everything goes in there from poo bags to snot rags.

I’ve lost things all my life. It’s not old age, I’m just scatty and a bit careless, “I don’t know where your head is” as my mum used to say. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a key I haven’t lost!
But I have an imaginary poltergeist I like to blame called Mr Baxter🤣
And it really freaks the gang out when they hear me mutter “very funny, Mr Baxter, now give me back my ruddy glasses or I’m calling the exorcist”
There’s more out than in!

@Bruce , You Yuppie ! Be careful you don’t get skull cancer, spectacle lenses
concentrate the sun’s rays !!
Donkeyman! 
Just had one.
In a morning where first one of my TP Link Powerline adapters fail meaning I need to faff about repositioning my heavy laser printer I knocked some seed on the floor so grabbed my mini vacuum which kept on turning itself off.
Swearing at it I took it apart then it came to me it probably just needs charging.

@LionQueen , Yeah, my favourite true story about spec wearing involves
my use of flip up sunglasses attached to my specs!
I was busy cutting the grass around the guest cabins one day and had my
flip ups flipped down to reduce the glare, it was about five o clock in the afternoon when l finished cutting, and feeling tired l went into cabin one for
a lay down and a rest, needless to say, l nodded off. When l woke up it seemed
very dark, and thinking l had slept over and it was now evening l switched
the cabin lights on, but it still seemed dark and the lights were very dim ?
So thinking we were suffering from a power supply problem,( they were quite
frequent in the area), l went up to the house and called the power supply
company to inform them l had a problem, to which they replied that they
would be out in the next hour to check, l thought this was a good response
as they had to come 80 Kms to get to me !
However, soon after phoning l realised that l had still got my specs with the
dark lenses flipped down on!!
I immediately phoned escom again to cancel, but was told they were allready
on the way and there was nothing they could do !! 
On their arrival at the farm l immediately explained the situation to the LARGE
africaaner technician and the assistant what had transpired !
I have never seen a blokes jaw drop so far in my life ??
However, he let me off of having to pay for the call out, but from that day on,
whenever l called them out they always asked me if l had my sunglasses
on or off before they came out!!

I went out to Sainsburys today Monday, to get my Daily Mail newspaper. Got the paper, where’s the magazine that shoud be in it I thought? Went stomping off to customer service, where I noticed some bundles of newspapers bundled up. " Can someone cut the ties, so I can get my magazine please? The girl said " These are the weekends papers due to be sent back, today is Monday a bank holiday, so there is no magazine" I was so sure it was a Sunday! God life is getting scarier now I’m 80!!

My senior moments are coming thick and fast. Today my wife and I went to a big Sainsburys and M&s at Hedge End in Hampshire. On arrival home, I could’nt find my mobile. Looked in the car, no joy. “Ring the number said the wife” It just rang and rang. Then I called up both shops asking if it was there, again negative.As a last resort, I rang the mobile again. My hearing’s not the best, but there was a faint ringing tone in the distance. It was sitting on a shelf in the back bedroom!
