See, forgetting where you left your keys is actually good.


And finding yourself locked out of your house is even better.

People do like constructing paradoxes. It has never struck me as a useful exercise. There are more useful ways of attracting attention.

There's a technological solution for that!

Works over a decently large range. If keys or wallet happen to be buried in the clothes hamper such that you can't hear the alerter the app's display will help you play the "getting warmer"-game, also.

Also can be set up such that if you walk out the door with only one or two of the Three (phone, wallet, keys) one of the other ones will bark at you.

I suppose some day we'll never lose anything. Meanwhile I keep a key stashed outdoors. No battery required.

It's about time you adopted some of them, then.

The only stuff that attracts your attention is fatuous nonsense, and you treat serious discussion as a distraction from your preferred forms of entertainment.

You are like a Barbara Cartland fan complaining that Jane Austen didn't write the sort of book they like to read.
