What’s up with this title?? Dropping something small and not finding it again is probably as close to a universal experience as possible

Only few will understand what’s up with this title…
if it drops anywhere within 20ft of a low platform with as little as an inch gap beneath it, thats where it went. and you have to use a broom stick or similar to reach it
one of my buddies dropped his sauren vape (is that how its spelled?) and it quite literally got grabbed by the nicotine elves and was never seen again. even after moving therefore nothing that could be blocking its sight he still didnt find it
sauren vape (is that how its spelled?)
Sauron, the Dark Lord?
The Saruman Vape
I dropped a fry 2 months ago and I still can’t find the damn thing. People joke about alternate dimensions but I’m starting to think it’s real.
My cat keeps playing with a cable tie. I see him playing with it, then 30 seconds later it’s gone and I don’t see it again for about 3 weeks and then suddenly he’s playing with it again.
He appears to be able to extract things from the alternate dimension.
Dropped a fry, as in the potato based food?
That’s the one
Never seen again… Until you step on it barefoot.
I had never seen a comment that is as painful as your comment😢.

This is why I always kept my cat around when I was working on stuff. He’d track the dropped screws for me. Of course he’d also occasionally jump onto the table and fuck up whatever I was working on but there’s pros and cons to anything.
Newton’s fourth law of motion states: “A small screw in an observed state will never dissappear.” So, just keep your eye on it when you drop it and you’ll be fine.
If you watch it then it will always continue to roll or bounce until it lands somewhere inaccessible.
i don’t even bother looking for those anymore. If i drop something tiny i just assume it slipped through the cracks in reality and will re-emerge at a random point in time, past or future
I made the mistake of having those color chips on my epoxy garage floor. Looks nice. Can’t see anything. Perfect camouflage for small dropped parts.
then its like ‘eh…3 screws is good enough’
Who needs all of the screws for their brake calipers anyways?
I dropped the SCREW in the TUNA
lay a flashlight on the ground aimed to where the thing fell, look for a shadow
“Holy shit I really need to vacuum this room.”
- If you have a magnet, use that to find the screw
- If you don’t have a magnet, buy one immediately for the future, and then proceed to step 3
- Look for it with your peripheral vision, which is better at spotting deviations to terrain and shapes than your primary vision. I don’t remember the exact reason, but it has something to do with being able to spot predators out of the corner of our eyes.
- Use a flashlight pointed parallel to the floor. The shadow cast by the screw will look bigger than the screw itself.
That’s a good idea on a flat floor.
Or put pantyhose over the end of a vacuum wand, then vacuum the area you dropped it on. The vacuum will find the screw and the pantyhose will prevent the vacuum from ingesting it.
