Mark has this really annoying habit. I do rearrange thing from time to time, I'll admit right off, but I almost always know where I rearranged it to. And if I moved it, it was most likely moved to a more logical location.
Mark's annoying habit is that he puts things up and forgets where he puts them. Then he blames me for losing them, when in reality, I never saw said item.
Generally it goes like this:
"Joni do you know where my _____ is? (Fill in the blank with tool, extension cord, DVD, little scrap of paper with writing all over it, USB drive.... you get the picture)"
Me: "Um, no. I haven't seen it did you look _____?" (Fill in the blank with various logical locations for said item - i.e, if i had put it away, where would i have put it)
Him: "No, its not there." (He didn't look yet, but has determined my first effort is wrong)
Me: "Ok, how about ______? (Fill in the blank with illogical location, but a typical place he might have put it)"
Him: NO! It's not there!! You lost it!!!
Me: I doubt if I lost it.
Him: You lost it - you're always moving things.
Me: No, I didn't lose it. I'll look for it when I get home.
Him: You just THREW IT AWAY (this is the typical final card he plays before the final pout and yell)
Him: pout pout pout yell yell yell pout pout hang up.
Me: rolling eyes
When I get home, I spend approximately 4 minutes looking in said logical and illogical locations where I think he might have put it. Oh, surprise! It is exactly where he left it (and in plain sight).
In my grandfather's words... "If it wuz a snake it would have bit ya!"
