Well if I knew HOW they got lost, then I would most likely know WHO was responsible, and WHERE they all were, and they wouldn't be lost! Good point! The only thing I can think I've lost a few times is a potato peeler which has presumably got swept up in the peelings and thrown away...other than that we must have been well trained by my very tidy and methodical Dh to put things back where they belong

Tape measures. We always seem to have some project going on and the tape measures just run away. I recently found one in a kitchen drawer that holds pot holders. No idea who was responsible, but only two of us live here so not to difficult to narrow it down.

DH bought three more two years ago because he could never find one. I used to always have one in my studio, another one in the kitchen drawer, DH usually keeps a couple in the garage. I put one of the new ones in my car, one in his truck and one in the kitchen because the one that was supposed to live there disappeared and never resurfaced. We easily have another five at the lake cabin.

OH I KNOW another one.. I have lost TWO pizza cutters in a row.. HOW do you lose those? I had the same one for 20 years.. all of a sudden it's gone. Bought another one.. gone. Bought ANOTHER one.. still have it after a few months. I even clean out my silverware/utensil drawer to find them.. nothing.

AussieMeg Because of this thread I ordered myself some replacement knives. Lol. These are my favorites and they disappear like crazy. My last one ran off somewhere a few weeks ago. I rarely use these knives for actual cutting, but they are the best for opening any package or box or other impossible container. 😜

How are you people losing teaspoons?? I don't recall ever losing one When my kids were younger it was almost always because they were in the kids' rooms. They'd take in cereal or yogurt or something like that and wouldn't bring them out for awhile. The yogurt container would get thrown away and the spoon would hang around on their desk/floor for awhile. Or, sometimes I think they get thrown away by accident as someone is scraping a plate, or maybe a knife gets scraped into the garbage along with the potato peelings.... stuff like that.

We use it to cut the pizza and then leave it in the box. Everyone takes out their pieces of pizza, then the box gets thrown away and no one checks inside first.

Scissors. I don't even know how. They disappear to never been seen again!
Candle lighters, but that's because my teens never put it back in the drawer!
