****ing left ear pods.
That's my fourth set halved.
Gloves are my most popular thing to lose one of.
Top tip: camoflage gloves are not recommended on night rides if you drop one in a forest
I never spend much money on sunglasses because their days a numbered as soon as they come into my possession
Front door Key and back door key.
They're always in one of many pockets across multiple pairs of shorts, jeans, jackets. BUT WHICH ONE!!!
My train of tho......
Sanity
Keys, not permanently but for frustratingly long search periods.
Gloves and Combs.
Patience.
Rock, paper, scissors

I went the opposite way and brought some expensive ones to motivate me not to forget them
The allen key I was using ten seconds ago
M.2 SSD Support Standoff and Screw
I bought a box of them then used them a couple of times but now they have all disappeared into thin air when I need them... arrrgghhh. I can use them for couple PCs from that box
Right work gloves. I wasn't aware it was always the right until I had the idea of buying a pack of ten so that I could always make a pair if I lost one. Ended up with ten left gloves.
Hats - as soon as I get attached to a beanie or cap it disappears into the ether.
@joshvegas there must be a counterpart in this world / country who loses only the right. eBay search? Or left ear eBay store?
Overshoes. Buy 'em in the summer cheap, can't find 'em when they're required.
You lot need to be more organised. I don’t lose any of that shit - apart from small screws which I always drop. Every ****ing time. Even when I’m being extra careful.
Hairs on my head at present.
Synovial Membrane.
My resistance to more beer after 2 or 3....
One sock and glasses. I must have half a dozen single socks in my drawer, the other one no where to be found. With riding glasses, it's like that episode of Father Ted. 4 pairs in the last 12 months, all lost out riding.
My ability to give a **** on most things in this life!
Odd socks, and we don't have a dog.
My rag, usually with inanimate objects.
The plot.
Easily done after a poor night's sleep.

You sir clearly don't have the gene. I could be naked in a room and lose an earbud, I don't even need to touch them. They just pooooof dissappear
My temper. Too quickly and too often.
However, it’s usually short-lived and soon forgotten. Unlike my wife who rarely loses her temper, but when she does, it’s scary.
Lost the grub screws to fit mudguards onto forks, bought 6 more dropped the first one on garage floor never to be seen again!
Unspoken battles with my other half*
* Not always ,but it often feels like it
🙂
Think I have lost alot of Umbrellas down the years.Or broken a few as well.
Can't say I have ever owned an umbrella to lose.
Confidence/positivity/social skills.Sometimes used to think I was making progress. Then brain/life/whatever just say nope.
DT swiss squarkle washers. Fiddly wee bastaaaaaaards
To the extent that I've bought a whole extra set for a wheel build this evening and thought I'd not lost one!
Then two fell out of the rim.
If DT rims weren't completely unkillable for me, I'd be chucking them in the sea. Number of DT rims I've killed=0. Currently 6 in rotation over 6 bikes.

What the **** kind of situations are you putting yourself in where you need camo gloves? "Hey look, there's a bloke over there with no hands!"
Are you Fingerbobs?

Which is why I use wired headphones and earphones - I can mislay a pair occasionally, but I don’t lose them.
Which is the same with most of my possessions, they might get put away somewhere, or just put down somewhere, but the most important keys, my car keys, have AirTags attached, and a few other things have Chipolo One trackers attached.
Things like my wallet and phone have lanyards attached to them - my wallet fell out of my pocket at work, when I took a car down to the secondary storage area, so my supervisor came down with me to see if I could recognise any likely car; fortunately it was the third car in the row we started on! There were roughly 1000 cars in that storage area…
It now has a very strong lanyard attached.
Are you Fingerbobs
Ahhh Fingerbobs…..
“Yofi (?) lifts a finger, and a mouse is there. Yofi lifts another, and a seagull takes the air… Finger Bobs, Finger Bobs….”
No idea how I remember the lyrics to the theme tune, can’t remember what I did yesterday but stupid lyrics.. oh yep.

The cable does my nut. Either too short or too long. And it means I am tethered to my phone. These are bad things in a workshop.
I couldn't deal with earbuds. I use wireless ones, but they're connected so can sit round my neck when i've not using them.
