Husband: “Honey, have you seen a black plastic bracket lying around? It’s about yay long and has two prongs on one side and a hole on the other.”

Wife: “Yes, it was on the floor in the den.”

Husband (relieved): “Thank goodness! I’m so glad you found it. You can’t buy that piece, you have to buy the whole assembly and that would cost us a fortune. Where is it? Did you put it on my desk?”

Wife: “I didn’t know what it was so I threw it away.”


Has that ever happened to you?

No.
My wife asks me what things are before doing something with them.
And I try not to have random crap strewn about. Especially if it is something important.

Well in this case it wasn't misplaced, it fell off and I didn't know it.

I have lots of stuff like that that I find and can't figure out where it came from. I put it in a drawer thinking I will figure it out later. But after 20 years of living in the same house, it has just accumulated. Maybe when I get around to decluttering and before selling the house, I will find a use for some of it.

I have a couple of plastic doohickies that I can't figure out. I keep thinking that some day I'll find what they fell off of. Meanwhile they live in the junk drawer.

OK, how about this?

Wife: "While I was putting away the vacuum, a piece fell off and I can't find it. Have you seen it?"

Husband: "I didn't know what it was so I threw it away."

Wife: "Why would you DO that??"
