The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This didn't stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.

Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!

I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.

It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven't been lost in years.

What about when you're in bed? Do you leave them in your previously worn pants and grab them in the morning, or do you put them in your clean pants the night before?

Do... do you hold them in your hands while sleeping? /s

Hah, this is basically my operating rules as well. I get unreasonably paranoid about dropping them down stormdrains too, so I clutch those babies like a Karen's pearls until they're back in pocket!

This what I have done since I was a kid

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Same here.

Same, except I have my keys on a carabiner and they're either hanging on my bed, on my belt loop, or in my ignition.

There was that time when I took my watch off and lost that - then found it behind something in the fridge a couple of weeks later.

You're not alone dude. A few months ago I spent hours freaking out about where the hell my glasses were. After a while I gave up and went to see if the jello I was making earlier had settled so I could stress eat that at least.

Wanna guess where the glasses were?

Please be inside the Jell-O, and not just inside the fridge

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It was inside the jello

Pics or it didn't happen.

Seriously, meme aside, we need pictures of this!

I have a carabiner attached to my purse, just to clip my keys to when they are not in use. I’ve lost them that many times. Even then, I still lose them, just not as often.

The other day I was doing laundry and set my travel mug down in an odd place. Gone forever. Rediscovered when I got clothes from the dryer.
