    Not see it. But I hear this one.

    “it’s always in the last place you look”

    No shit Sherlock. Why would I keep looking after I found it?

      One time I kept looking just to prove that statement wrong. I think I was 4yo.

      What people really mean when they say this is

      it’s in the last place you think to look

      This again is a misnomer because, not just because you stop looking… but because people find it hard to admit things are lost. All part of the half serious, half ridiculous psuedo science of Findology (disclaimer: my own blog)

      Embarrassingly it took me years to realize what that quote meant. I had always interpreted it to mean that the item is found in an unexpected place. But of course what it really means is that you stop looking once the item is found, therefore that’s the last place you looked 🤦
