Keep track of your stuff dammit!

So dh headed back to work this morning. He was up late again, as usual, drinking beer, as usual.

He had to get up at 8 (OMG, sooooooo early for him.....) and he left by 9:30. He calls a few minutes after he left saying "I'm turning around". So I said Uh-Oh, cause that's never a good sign.

He didn't know where his ID was. Without it, he pretty much can't work, he can't park, he can't into the terminal, he'd be screwed and it would mean a trip to the chief pilot's office to explain himself and get a new ID. I ask if it's in his coat pocket or something like that, he mumbles something and grumps. Then bitches because someone has the audacity to be driving in the lane next to him.

He said he thought he'd had it on his arm when he'd left, but he handn't. He said to go look in our closet and that it would be hanging from a hanger by his uniform shirts (he never hangs it, I don't know why it would have been there anyway!). So I go to the closet, no ID. I look everywhere in that closet, no ID. I look in the laundry room, in his office, no ID.

By now I'm FREAKING. I know what kind of a tantrum is in store from him if that ID doesn't surface, and surface NOW. He calls from the entrance to our neighborhood, and says it was in his coat pocket all along.

DAMN IT LOOK EVERYWHERE on your person before calling and getting me worked up, and getting yourself worked up and costing yourself almost 20 minutes of time when it was right there with you THE ENTIRE FLIPPING TIME!

I swear this man about as responsible for his things as my 2 year old is! Both of them are forever leaving crap around the house, forgetting where they left it, and then crying when they want it and it's not instantly right there for them!

Rrrrrrrrrrr

yeah.. my dh does that too.. leaves his keys whereever he puts them down and then asks me later "have you seen my keys".. my answer everytime is (repeatedly) "if you left them in the same place everytime like I do mine, you wouldn't have to ask me that question anymore".. his reply "rolleyes"...

and i mean, it's not just his keys.. it's his watch, his wedding band and his shoes.. leaves them wherever he decides to put them down.. typically, his watch, wedding band and keys are in the same location hahaha

you can only try to teach them oh so much before it's just too much for them to handle! haha

MQAAord · 11-25-2005, 04:06 PM

Wow, are we married to the same person? I have told him a MILLION times to leave his stuff in the same place too!

Scary!

btw Bill got the note Doug left in his mailbox in CVG

Bill forgot to say anything to me about it, but he found it in his bag this morning and left it on my bathroom counter for me.

Uh oh, that sounds like something my bf could do. He has the tendency to leave his stuff in random places. He lost his phone charger the other day and had to buy a new one. It turns out the charger had somehow gotten mixed up with his roommate's stuff...

OMG!!! We DO have the same husband. It's been three days now and Eric has no idea where his keys are. He's been using my set. I REFUSE to look for them. He absolutely FREAKS when he can't find something. But he never lifts anything up to look. He just stands in the middle of the room, looks around and then yells "IT'S NOT HERE!!". I can usually find his stuff in about 5 minutes, but this time i'm not lifting a finger.

Are all men the same? This must be related to testosterone somehow. LOL!

Kristie · 11-25-2005, 09:53 PM

YEA.. they do sound similar! I am typically the one who says "I just saw them a bit ago *over here*".. and he'll go "geez, if i just leave htem in the same place, i can find them" and i say "yup" but then he doesn't do what he says...hahahha too funny...

I find it funny that Doug calls Amber's husband "Mr. MQAAord" when he writes his little love notes to him and puts them in his box/vfile...hahahaha

Lurker · 11-26-2005, 12:54 PM

So you all know what to buy your men for Xmas....key rings that beep when you whistle or clap your hands!

trigeek · 11-26-2005, 04:19 PM

Lost keys are not related to male hormones, dammit!

My husband would bitch that I do the exact same thing. Always asking where my keys are, losing my cell phone, id, purse, etc. Stop spreading the hidious lie!

I misplace my stuff all the time, and I'm a woman!

roz · 11-26-2005, 05:49 PM

I taught Charlie a long time ago. He only had to lose his keys once to finally listen! Now he does the seven item check before he leaves: money, watch, keys, ID, passport, pen and wallet. He could get by only without the pen (but I'd kill him if he lost that one!).

MQAAord · 11-26-2005, 08:21 PM

I have never ever in my life EVER once lost my car keys. I'm very particular about keeping track of important stuff like that. I really do know where most everything is that needs to be found.

The only thing I would ever lose consitantly is my car. Not the keys, the CAR. I would forever park it in the employee lot and go to work, then 4 days later there I am (again) trapsing up and down every aisle swearing and wondering where the *bleep* I left that thing again. I had such an issue with it, I finally came up with a really cool invention called a crew car finder. It's a radio controlled antenna that pops up and starts waving around when you push a button on a remote. I never actually built the thing, but it sounded like a good idea at the time. My old car was a small white station wagon, and it got overshadowed easily by SUVs, trucks & minivans. I would forever be parking it and then totally unable to find it again. It was an old car, so there was no remote alarm to help either.

Now, I drive a big Tahoe. So, when I forget where I parked at least it's big enough to see!
