Where are my glasses

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

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

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)😂

Just spent 5 minutes looking for my glasses... turns out they were on my head 🤣😳 Husband was thinking of ringing the nearest care home to see if they had a space for me 🤣🤣🤣
