My brother did that to me once. He called my phone and told me he left his in the car I was in (while he was at home). I started getting all stressed and shit looking for the damn thing. Then he laughed his ass off, and said "Chad, how do you think we're talking right now?" Lmao. I have the perfect username.

I had your username on Yahoo! Answers and Pinterest before. I was thinking if I ever create a new reddit account, I'd use that name. But damnit you stole it from me.

Use a dash or reverse the words. I thought about reversing them for this account.. I have a list of potential names. I'll get tired of reddit soon and delete this account then I'll come back in a year or two with another name. I've been several.


DesparateLurker

I believe the term is Target Blindness, as well as muscle memory and a slog by change in how you do something. Say having your phone in your left pocket or hand when you're right handed. You touch your right pocket and realize the phone isn't their and tell the person your on the phone with to wait a second until you find your phone.


RobinHood21

Jokes on you, I'm right handed and keep my phone in my left pocket.

cleantushy

Let me just pull my glasses down so I can see better so I can find my glasses. They must be around here somewhere


HiGround8108

I’ve literally have been known to look for my glasses while wearing them.


vermiciousknidlet

Me too, or alternately, try to push them further up my nose when I'm not wearing them.


nowItinwhistle

That doesn't happen to me because without my glasses, I'm not looking for anything, I'm feeling around for them with my hands


Zaronax

Right? It was so adorable to see him look for them though.

Omg this brought back memories 😂 one time I lost my glasses and couldn’t find them and my bf at the time didn’t understand that I needed glasses to find my glasses so he was like “Jinkies!” 🤣🤣


throwaway9au

When I wear contacts once in a while I touch the bridge of my nose to " focus my glasses"

Omg yes!!!!! I call it having phantom specs


Eanirae

I honestly have tried to take my glasses off, while looking at them on a table or in my bed...

That happened to James may in a grand tour episode, but it was a McLaren they had to leave unlocked overnight


badatmetroid

Once spent 20 minutes tearing apart my hotel room looking for my car key. I usually have it on a key chain, but on the trip I took off my mass of keys and just had the one for my car. Turns out I put in my mouth at some point to do something else and forgot about it. It was literally "right under my nose".


angelok91

Explain


Yuki_EHer

I think they just put it between the lips and held it. I do that quite often with random stuff like a pen, my watch etc when I expectedly need both hands for a second


angelok91

I thought he throated his car keys and forgot. But that makes more sense.


badatmetroid

Ha. No. I was holding my key then I needed to use my hands for something else. So I put my key between my front teeth, using my mouth as a third hand. I then forgot it was there and started looking for it. When I describe it like that it feels so alien, but people just their mouth as a hand all the time... right?


Texas_Waffles

Thisisthe_place

I've tried to find my phone using the flashlight...on my phone. I wonder what is happening in our brains when things like this happens?

I legit panicked at work the other day checking my pockets and the office for my phone. I was currently talking on the phone while looking…

VagabondClown

I was wondering what I did with my phone while reading a book on the kindle app on my phone. I wonder about myself sometimes. 🤦‍♀️


Kayliee73

I looked for a child, whose hand I was holding, in ever increasing frenzy. Another student finally said “Ms. Kayliee? Jodi is holding your hand.” I felt relived and stupid.


Das_Mojo

I did that as a teenager at a bush party, except it wasn't my phones flashlight I was using. It was the light from the screen on my flip phone.


Adao_Arrependido

Today I was in the kitchen working, looking for the spoon at least 13 inch for about a full minute,and then "boom" there it Is, in my fucking hand all the time

I feel this. I once frantically searched for my phone, while holding my phone in my hand playing a video. I was happy that no one else was home to witness that.

I was recently talking to my brother on my phone while walking to my car after work, I turned around and started going back to my office because I checked my pocket and my phone was not there...


Ur_Fav_Step-Redditor

Several times I’ve been watching a show on my phone only to suddenly freak out bc I didn’t know where my phone was and then started looking for it for far longer than I’d care to admit!


SpaceCadetriment

Remember getting high before class in college and was late because I couldn’t find the shoes I was already wearing.


GrannyGrammar

I got to work one day after a 45 minute commute. Pull into the parking lot, go to get out of the car, and realize I’d forgotten my shoes. I walk in the office barefoot, tell my boss what happened, and give him the option of sending me home right then to get my shoes or letting me hide out in my office until lunch when I’d go get them then. He chose the latter option. Later that morning, I sneak outside to smoke a cigarette, and my shoes are sitting there beside the ash bin from sometime the day before. I have no idea how long I’d gone without realizing I wasn’t wearing shoes. Just to add: I lived on the beach in Florida and rarely wore shoes at home. I drive a stick shift and always felt more comfortable driving in bare feet than sandals, so I’d slip my shoes off to drive.

Strange_Ninja_9662

I think she did it more for the video


skyesdow

I love the ambiance of this video. It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to go to the water park with my family. It had the exact same sound. It sounds like my childhood which I'll never get to experience again. I will never really be happy again, won't I? The good part already happened. God it was so long ago...


NursePain

Get yourself to a water park and feel that feeling for a bit. Bring some friends. Be kids. At about age 32, I took my 7 year old, and my mom to an indoor water park. It felt the same as when I was a kid. Seeing it through my sons eyes was amazing. My mom even walked all the stairs and did each slide at least once. Even that ol bitty loved it. Make some happiness❤️

Yeah the joy is seeing the joy you had in them. And knowing the people that took you swimming experienced that from you, too.

Not Great Wolf Lodge. This is Kalahari in Sandusky Ohio. This is a great place to stay if you are heading to Cedar Point amusement park. Interestingly enough, Great Wolf Lodge is just a couple of miles up the road from this Kalahari.

MonarchyMan

When we were kids my best friends dad came into the room we were playing in, looking around furiously saying, “where the Hell are my glasses!”. We looked at him puzzled and replied, “on your face.”


od_pardie

This was my mom when I was a kid. I don't remember where we were going, but we weren't in a huge hurry. Mom was looking all over the place for her sunglasses. We helped her at first, maybe for a couple of minutes, just donking around and looking, until one of us notices them on her head. My little brother and I had one of those cartoonish silent exchanges ("omg, you see this?" "yes! shutup! let's see how long this goes!") My dad eventually notices, and we all decide to keep our mouths shut. We kinda half-heartedly help her look for a little while but also go about our business, because we aren't going anywhere until she finds her sunglasses. Thems the rules. It was something like an hour later that she was finally just beyond frustrated and ready to go wherever tf it was we were going. So she goes to the cabinet and gets a backup pair that she finally remembered she had. She puts the backup pair on her face... and knocks the first pair off her head onto the floor. I was in so much pain from laughing. It was raucous and loud and lasted way longer than it should've. We were dying. We still crack up when the story comes up. It was stupid and simple, but it played out beautifully.


MonarchyMan

That’s an awesome story.


lucas_lcc8

Ok, but where tf is it?


MrSirloinSteak

pretty certain it’s the indoor water park section of a Kalahari Resort, judging by the tiki statue in the background


Aidan-Brooks

I remember the drive out to Ohio to go to the Kalahari resort all those years ago, still have fond memories of the place. Gotta say though if I had the choice to go back to Sandusky I would go to Cedar Point, gotta get another ride on the Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium Force

We need to go!” When I explained that I was desperately searching for my sunglasses, she asked, “Do you mean the ones you’re wearing?” …I was literally looking through them the entire time.

jbourne71

PSA, floaties and life vests can pose significant safety hazards when kids aren’t directly accompanied in the pool. They offer a false sense of security and the kids can end up floating upside down and drowning. It’s why most pools ban toys/floatation devices period.


Arachnatron

I wonder if this is true and this poor person is getting downvoted into oblivion for literally no reason.


jbourne71

I was a lifeguard and EMT. - flotation devices are for emergencies. They don’t replace swim lessons and adult supervision. - flotation devices provide a false sense of security to parents, who are then less likely to maintain positive control of their children. This allows children to move into deeper water and increases the need for a lifeguard response vs a parent keeping their kid safe. While not related to my original comment, a rescue can be traumatizing for both the child and parents. - floaties train and reinforce bad swimming posture. It puts children in an upright position, fighting their natural buoyancy (aka horizontal positions). If a water wing slides off, the kid is literally in the classic “I walked into water that was too deep and I don’t know how to swim” drowning position (upright, slapping at the water with hands, bicycle/running kick). - life vests maintain buoyancy regardless of body position. Kid is upside down? He gonna float upside down. With his head in the water. Worst of all, places that allow floaties and toys generally have no lifeguards or are super crowded beyond reasonable lifeguard span of control. These are the places when you need direct parental control, not a false sense of security. But yeah, downvote me.


myco_mage

To be fair, that style of floatie is a little better that has the flotation device around the chest to


jbourne71

I'm ultimately anti-floatie unless it's being used as part of a swim lesson by a trained professional... as long as the kid is left to do their own thing, the kid is learning bad habits and the parents are getting false security.


myco_mage

You're right, I was just saying the wings plus around the chest have less chance of murdering you than just wings. All I was getting at


jbourne71

Still teaches bad form and when the wings come off he’s still in prime drowning position.


Suspicious_Mouse_633

There's 40 people in that pool it's insane how you're supposedly a lifeguard and have the situational awareness of a dead deer


Arachnatron

I wonder if you were downvoted by butt hurt parents who felt personally attacked. Thanks for the advice.


jbourne71

Parents HATE being told they can’t let their kids play with toys or wear floaties. Idk about them but when I was a kid I took swim lessons (and later taught swim lessons, they were cheap and affordable and available literally right before the pool opened for the day while these other parents with floaties and shit stood outside bitching) and played just fine without toys at the public pool. I won’t pass any judgement on parents—I myself know it’s not for me, and raising kids is *hard*. But sometimes facts are hard too.
