pat28 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Age has nothing to do with it. *2 Bought stuff, put the bag on my workbench, never found it again. I was 30 back then. Now I can't remember what it was that I lost. :-) Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I ran out of tiles when doing the bathroom. I couldn't understand it, being the engineer that I am, how could I under estimate by six boxes. Groaning under the weight of tiles, I flipped up the garage door, and there in front of me were six boxes of tiles! Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Oh, heck guys. That's nothing. I routinely set things down on one of the work benches while I am in the middle of a project and without moving from the spot turn to do something, and turn back to discover I can't find it. Its frustrating as all get out to be standing there with an assembley held together in just the right position afraid to move a smidgeon or you will have to start over, and you can't that darned alignment pin you just set down anywhere.

nova Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't let my wife anywhere near my tools or work area. One time when I was away in a tourny she and my daughter "cleaned up" my garage and work area. When I came back you could eat off the floor and everything was neatly arranged. It took me 2 weeks to find everything again and I'm still looking for the $200 set of spanners. That was 18 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass100 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I let her read this post and then told her that I don't need to see a doctor that, in fact, I am normal. She then told me that we all need to go see a doctor. I will just give her an hour or two and she will forget all about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 While at work one day I couldn't find my Channel Lock pliers. I looked everywhere. Several times. Knowing how the guys I worked with were always messing with each other I started accusing some of the more likely suspects. To make a long story short I finally found my pliers. They were in my back pocket. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogAddict Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I know this is an old post but I have to add that I went to click on something on the computer a couple weeks ago and couldn't understand why it wasn't responding.....until I realized I was attempting to use my cell phone as a mouse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt k Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm fortunate in the fact that my wife is terrified to step into my shop , but unfortunately she 's going to sell all of my stuff for next to nothing when I pass because I say "20 bucks " every time she asks "how much " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRammit Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Everything I own has legs... I set stuff down, and it runs away I once spent almost an hour looking for my socket adapter for the drill.. I gave up and drove to Home Depot 20 miles away and bought another one.. Got home, walked inside and there was the missing adapter sitting on a table right by the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I've done similar stuff. Was looking for my channel locks one day and couldn't find them anywhere. Looked all over the shop asking people if they'd seen them. This went on for about a half hour. Finally went to grab a bandana out of my back pocket and there were the pliers. Here's your sign.

JRammit Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 My wife pulled a great one years ago Her sisters was over for a visit and when she left she forgot her cell phone... I found it on the counter and picked it up... When I told the wife, she did the logical thing.. She calls her sister to tell her she left her phone behind There was only one problem and I sat back with a big grin waiting for her to figure it out... But she didn't.. When the phone in my hand wrang I answered, wish I had something clever to say but all I could do is laugh... You should have seen the look of confusion on her face When she finally realized what happened, she tried to make me promise never to speak of it again.... But this was just too good Now whenever I do something stupid, I can say "remember that one time?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
