Actual footage of a 10mm socket disappearing

Ha! Kodger, that's gotta be my problem, looking for wrong thing!...now, if I could only keep the blue men out of the workshop...cheers

This phenomena a good reasons for having kids. It is a very expensive way to have someone you can always blame for the loss. As they get older, it becomes a game and sometimes, they are good for finding things. Cannot count how many times I have heard, "Oh what did dad loose now?"

It has made me very happy reading this thread to know I am not the only one this happens to!!!.

You see now Hemmjo this is personification of my theory,....you got kids, you had sex when what you really needed was a good dinner.

I tried the kid thing. Three times. It just made stuff worse. I did eventually find my Kukri out in the back yard, rusty as heck. Probably been in the yard for a dozen years. And a couple of the cheap screwdrivers. NONE of the good stuff, though. :(

raises two questions (1) Are you a Gurkha? (2) If not, how in hell did you get a Kukri? they usually won't part with them.

I think it pretty obvious I'm not a Ghurka, and it has been quite easy to buy a Kukri for multiple decades. I bought my first on when I was 17. I'm 66 now.

10mm sockets are champion level masters of disguise and camouflage. This can be remedied simply, make them larger.

Without knowing your whereabouts, it's likely that area is a portal expressly for 10mm sockets, and converge at will.

LOL, I have never lost my 30mm socket. You must be on to something.

Possibly. None of us lose objects of significant size, apparently the blue men are in cahoots with poltergeists, leprechauns, fairies, grogrochs, elves and ghost of Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices named Joseph...
