Where are my glasses

Been there done that😳 the other day I went the garage to get my washing whirlybird thing out, walked up the garden to the hole it goes in to find I’m carrying the ironing board not the washing line (they are kept close together, that’s my excuse)😂

I once had a pair on my head and a pair on my face...lol!!Senior moment, for sure!

I do this often. I also wander the house looking for them only to find them neatly tucked into my shirt

I saw this thread and was about to say are you sure you’re not wearing them!

Had a lot of trouble looking for my phone……I was talking on it at the time!

I wear glasses all the time, or should do. I also have reading glasses and the ones I have on right now because I am working on my computor.

All of these are never where they should be when I want them.

Neither is my phone!

My clothes do not have pockets big enough for a smart-phone. Has anyone solved this proble? If so how? . I have to remember to remove my phone from my pocket before bending down, or it slips out and lands on the floor, which sooner or later will damage said phone.

So my phone is not where it should be, when I want it, or worse when it rings and I cannot find it!

And don't say, "Well when did you use it/them last?"

If I knew that, I would know where the missing article was, wouldn't I? And if I knew that, it wouldn't be missing, would it?

This is NOT an age-related problem. It has existed since I had to have both glasses to see the distance with and glasses for reading, and the phone ditto has existed since mobile phones came along.

I had my readers on the other day and went into another room and wondered why I couldn’t put the ones I keep in that room on properly 🤪🤣

A few weeks ago I picked up a large pile of washing to take downstairs along with my phone. A couple of minutes later I was looking for my phone and there it was in the machine having a good wash. Tried to dry it out with little success so I am now using my old phone as the sim survived. Like Government ministers I have lost my Whats App messages managed to get my photos restored but lost other notes ect.

Someone told me to dry a phone out in a bag of rice. Whether it'll work for a phone rescued from the washing machine seems expecting a lot , but worth a try?

I once spent a few minutes looking for my mobile....I was talking on it at the time

I’ve done both of those - looking for glasses that were on my head, and looking for a phone that was in my hand. 😩

I once mislaid my car keys at my workplace - turned the office upside down, checked all the drawers, bins, toilet. Tipped my handbag out. In the end, got my husband to come to me (8 miles away) with the spare set. When I got ready for bed that night, I found the keys - down my bra

Yesterday I got home from shopping and went to change from my grey suede boots into my taupe coloured 'bootie' slippers. Changed right foot, got distracted and wandered off in one boot/one slipper. Realised I hadn't finished and proceeded to take off the slipper and put the boot back on. It was only when Mr A asked if I was going out again it dawned on me I still had my boots on, not my slippers.

I’ve been doing this for years! A nightmare if in unfamiliar surroundings.
Now keep a spare pair of specs beside my bed and ensure that I take a spare pair in my bag when I’m away. They always turn up - and often on my head!

I don’t wear glasses for reading or IPad so frequently put them down. When I can’t find them I get my old pair of glasses, always kept in one place, so that I can see well enough to find the present ones.

When I worked, the lady at the desk next to mine wore reading glasses as I did. We were always losing them. One day I searched high and low for mine and realised she had them pushed up on top of her head while wearing her own. She bought a neck chain for hers shortly after that!

This is common place for me lol

I bought a little leather crossbody bag for my phone. It’s always with me.

Tanith: I laughed until tears were rolling down my cheeks. Thank You for sharing!!!!

I often leave them on the bathroom window sill,forget I've done it and can't see them when I'm looking as they are pale grey.
I have got in the shower with them on before and had to open the door slightly and put them out. DH did the same but is short-sighted and stepped out and stood on them.
When I worked as an infant teacher and first got specs I had two pairs when I took one pair off to read I inevitably forgot which table I had put them on. I asked the children to help and one little wag piped up "Oh it's like hunting the thimble only Mrs? glasses".

to rosie1959 and ExDancer.... My hubbie fell into river face down (well he was fishing in middle of river at the time) . His mobile was in a front pocket and was as wet as the rest of himself. We dried it in a bagfull of rice overnight and it was fine. Don't know if it works everytime but it certainly did that time.

25Avalon- thats what me& my youngest Daughter call needing "looking for my glasses glasses"😂🤓🤓-do lose them a lot, did it other day, they were on top of my head, usually are.Lost them couple of weeks ago, they were hidden among bed covers as i'd been packing to move.Had trouble seeing them as im so short-sighted🤣

As for phone its frequently ringing from somewhere where im not near to it..Oh if you need a new phone get one of the newest Samsung ones- waterproof to about 300 metres i think.😁

So glad it isn't just me. I have lost one pair of glasses that I wear indoors, been missing for weeks now along with a small basket of clothes pegs ! I have given up searching, I think they have gone to that black hole where all the odd socks and teaspoons go.
