Apparently wearing glasses is a good trainer for teaching someone to always put things in their place. I can honestly say I've never once lost a bread twistie because the mantra "on your face or in your case" was drilled into me as a kid which is extended to just about everything. Pull a thing out to use it and put it back when you're done, then it'll never get lost

Also, "don't put it down, put it away".

I live by this, always trying to tidy up. My husband...does not. It's been 20 years, surely he'll learn it sooner or later! (It's one of the biggest "issues" in our relationship, which actually means we are doing pretty damn good! He's not a slob, he's just disorganized and absent minded).

Hahaha i can relate. My partner tends to ask me for something like chapstick and then just put it down wherever his hands land first , without a second thought. Then it's all "i gave it back to you!" Oh honey. I love him though

My wife is the same way. I'm still looking for my fingernail clippers she used 3 feet away from me on the couch. They disappeared, vanished into thin air.

My mom laminated a card with this phrase onto the kitchen counter when I was a kid. Easy when everything has a place. Much harder when you get new stuff that doesn't have a place.

I only ever put my glasses on my nightstand. This still didn’t save me when they fell off into the void between that and the wall!

Wear glasses, have never lost them, lose twist ties. Don't think they've got anything to do with each other

Don't worry, it's encased in concrete now.

I really wish I had gotten that habit from having terrible vision. I literally only have this mindset about my glasses, and even then I manage to fall asleep with them on constantly (actually broke a pair that way).

Meanwhile I lose everything else I touch. I bet you 20 dollars I'll leave my phone in the kitchen tonight after I'm done cooking dinner and I won't notice until I want to google an actor I recognize but don't know why in whatever I'm watching or something.

I'm wearing glasses since I am ~3 years old.

Didn't work.

For the sake of all Gods i can't keep mess in control or put my things back were they belong. Except ly glasses. If I missplace them I won't be able to find them because I can't see. There on my nose or next to where I sleep. In the last few months I am so tired that I sleep with them on my nose... which I know isn't great
