    That's one reason (among others) Hubby and I don't have kids. Its hard enough to keep our own chaos under control.

      Back when I was a teenager we found my mother's glasses in the refrigerator. She'd been putting things away after supper, and got carried away.

      Still not as funny as the time my mom put a package of hamburger out on the drainboard to thaw that was still in the silver bag from the grocery store, and my dad thought it was his lunch and took it to work with him. Fortunately he kept it all day in a refrigerator, so it was still usable, but Mom was still demanding to know who took the hamburger. She came down to my bedroom and demanded to know if I'd taken the hamburger, and I asked, "Why would I bring raw hamburger in here?"

        In my house the motto is "It isn't lost until mom can't find it."

        For some reason I notice all the stuff stashed in weird places, so when somebody goes "where is <blank>" I usually know where it is.

        ETA: I mention this because it's frustrating as they should be keeping up with their own damned stuff! And that includes Mr. Mathnerd.

          The opposite is true here. I am always finding misplaced stuff for Mrs. IA.

            If I lose stuff that's really bad, since I'm the only one here! I can't ask anyone where it might be.

              Or in my case, "Yeah, Mom put it in a 'safe place.'"

                My mom hides money from herself. She's weird.

                    In our house: "Dear, where did I put <object>?"

                    Even though she wasn't around when I put it down, she knows exactly where it is a disturbingly-large percentage of the time...

                    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

                      I fill the reusable pod with grounds and put water in the coffee maker. A few minutes later I check and...my cup is overflowing. Someone overfilled the pot last time and didn't drain it. It had to be one of them since I don't drink coffee at night, but they do. GRRR. I redo the coffee procedure after carefully walking the overflowing cup to the sink trying not to spill it everywhere (I succeed...yea!).
                      Some nice person at my work brought in a Keurig Mini, the kind you add water for each cup, instead of filling a reservoir that will make multiple cups. I really like it because now I can bring just enough coffee for me. Previously I'd bring coffee, creamer, and sugar but we'd ALL bring some. So one week I'd bring coffee, the next week someone else would and so on. Then nobody except me was bringing anything. I brought creamer (32 ounces) and the next day it was gone. So I stopped. At this point the Keurig was brought in. I go to Cash and Carry and buy single serve k-cups and creamers. It's a little more expensive at first, but in the long run I'm saving money by not paying for the whole staff's coffee.

                      What was the point... Oh! So one day I had the same thing happen. Somebody must have put some water in the single cup reservoir and then not made coffee. So I added mine, and it started overflowing. The thing that pissed me off the most was that it was my LAST k-cup. Since I'd rather have no coffee than suffer weak coffee, I just did without. It was a grumpy day for me. Also, I live alone. It's how I stay sane and is a bit of an indulgence. I haven't had a roommate in about 8 years and I just adore it. We're all different people, this just fits my personality.

                        Do you have Molly Hagan, Ken Hudson Campbell, Rick Lawless and Peter Mackenzie in there? (Obscure)
