ok here is another one that makes me just loopy every time i think about it. fishmama you have shortened my life with this thread

. we bought our house 4 years ago. all the bathrooms and bedroom doors had locks on them. they are the cheesy indoor kind where you can pop the lock from the outside with a paper clip or the metal thing the lock comes with. that little metal thing was on the door jamb above every door ( 8 of them ). today i can't tell you where one of them is. i have to go find a paper clip or some other tiny piece of metal to use because they have all been misplaced when i have to open a locked door.
can someone please tell me - what leads to not putting that thing immediately back on the door jamb as soon as you pop the door open? ok the door is open, whats this metal thing in my hand? i just useed it but don't know where to put it? i think i will carry it around and then lose it instead of putting it back.

it must be me that has the problem.
