I have specific places for things. If i put them in the place they go, i don't lose them. If I don't think and put them somewhere else.... well, I'll probably never see them again.

I legit canceled my credit card thinking I lost it when I was out one night. I opened one pocket I barely used and found it sitting there. I had already ordered a new card lol

The keys go on the hook. The keys go on the hook. The keys go on the hook.

Rarely. I’m a creature of habit.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

Mine are tied to my belt loop and I only wear pants, so I'd have to lose my pants to lose them. ...which is still possible.

They belong in a museum

Constantly, until I got a hook and a drop basket for purse and wallet and sunglasses and such. I still lose the sunglasses.

Same. Right by the front entrance and I generally will get up to put stuff there if I realize they are still in my pockets. So most of the time I'm missing my keys now is because I forgot them in a door.

Lesbian carabineer wins again

Literally like two weeks ago I closed my car, left the key still in the door and just went home. I parked in a street well transitated by both cars and people. I was lucky a woman took them and left a phone number...

I managed to lose my driver license and my passport in the same week.

I have a spot by the door for my keys and wallet. I always pick them up and put them back, every time I leave and come home. Occasionally if my hands are full or something, I don't put them back. Then I might spend 5-20min looking for them next time.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I dont lose mine. They just hide very well in my bag when I need them.

My phone on the other hand... perpetually lost in some place.

Keys not often, hats? Soo many

They are chained to my trousers.
If you can break open a lanyard and a carabiner, good luck.
