They’re always in the last volcano you check

I lost the key to my motorcycle a year or two ago, and I spent days tearing my house apart looking for it. It was like it vanished into thin air. I finally broke down and brought the lock to a locksmith to have a new key made. I found the original key a few days later laying in the driveway haha.

It’s a universal experience losing something, replacing it, and immediately finding it again in the dumbest place

I lost my key once and my mom wouldn't give me a new one. I had to come home from school on a bus and walk home a couple blocks. Well, lo and behold she's working late and I can't get inside. My siblings are all gone and my Dad's also working. I sit a good 20 minutes before checking each window for ways to get in, and finally find a loose window and jimmie it just enough to fit myself through and pop the screen out. Close it behind me put screen back. Now, I am frustrated, a little mad, and feeling like I should get some revenge on my mother for not allowing me to have a key because I accidentally lost mine.

Now, I decided, I will scare her. I'll wait for her to get home, hide behind the couch and just wait for her to put her stuff on the table next to the door and jump up and "ROAR". So, I waited a good hour and finally could hear the car pull into the car port. I get my position and hide. I can hear the door jiggly open and the door opens, I wait for the stuff to be put on the table, and jump up, yelling, "ROAR!" as loud as I could. It wasn't my mom it was my Dad and he just looked at me and shook his head and asked "what the hell are you doing?" and I said trying to scare mom. He laughed and just walked away. Now I can't scare my mom because she sees my dads car in the car port and it basically deflated me to the point of just begging for a key back because it was so hot outside and I'll be way more responsible and latch the key to my neck. She agreed and alls was well.
