I don't misplace anything. I'm one of those annoying people who say things like, "A place for everything and everything in its place." But I stick by it and, as a result, I never lose anything.
The problem is other people. This applies especially to the communal things, like the TV remote. Since they have to be trusted to some extent with such items and they don't have the organisation and administration skills of yours truly, they manage to lose the remote with such speed and inevitability that I am amazed at their powers. Clearly, it's a gift that I wasn't given.
I am working on a scheme whereby everyone will have a remote and I never loan mine out (a system that I have already instituted with breathtaking success regarding ballpoint pens).
