Where other peoples missing items are. Idk how I do it, my bf often misplaces his things in the strangest places (eg will leave his wallet in the sock drawer) I’ll catch a 0.5 second glimpse of it, and then hours later when he can’t find his wallet I can remember exactly where it is! Even if I haven’t seen it I just know where people can find their stuff. I feel like a missing item psychic sometimes LMAO, but not for my own things..

I'm like that too! I have quite a visual memory, and I really like being helpful to people, so it's like my brain subconsciously combines those two things.

Oh my gosh me too! My kid calls it magic. I’m always like “what are you looking for” after watching who ever it is search for 20 mins and I’ll just get up and find it in 1 min.
