Yeah, I have a similar story that happened a couple of years ago....
I was just on my way out the door, going to work, about 8am, but then realised that I hadn't got my door key to get back into the house on my
return...
I hadn't got another key because my girlfriend had got it and she was 300 miles away visiting family for a few days...
Anyway, I scoured the house, over and over, no luck...
By this time it was 9am, I kept looking, still couldn't find them...
Telephoned work, told them I was going to be late, told them the story of the keys and girlfriend being away...blah, blah.....
11 am, still no keys, kept looking....
12pm, still no keys, every cupboard ransacked with stress and anguish, sofa turned inside out and upside down. I found a couple of pounds, two
plectrums and an odd sock down the back of the cushion....
1pm, still no keys, called work and told them that I was obviously not going in and had a to book a days annual leave that I didn't want...
2pm, still no keys, I couldn't go out anywhere because I couldn't get back in....
3pm, still no keys...
4pm still no keys....still searching......
5pm, my day at work would have ended, but instead I am still looking for keys...
6pm, cooked some food, hadn't eaten all day..
6.30pm, went outside by the front door to take rubbish to the dustbin...
6.31pm, took the lid off the dustbin and there sitting on top of the bin bag I had placed in there at 7.45am, 10 hours and 46 minutes earlier, was my
set of keys...
So there you are, a wasted day and time I will never get back, looking for something I didn't want to look for while using a days annual leave I
didn't want to use....
But I am sure you can guess where I look first if anything goes missing......
