Not as bizarre but kind of similar. I lost my wallet so thoroughly I eventually had to replace my ID and bank cards. It turns out it had fallen on my floor and my wicker laundry basket wound up on top of it. Somehow one side of the wallet had gotten hooked in a band on the bottom, so every time I lifted the basket to look under it, the wallet was lifted too.
What if it was a time traveler that hid the wallet because the credit cards were linked to a terrorist organization that caused a catastrophic extinction level event and when the traveler came back he noticed it was some regular guy who had his wallet stolen and just hid it so it wouldn't get stolen and cause the genocide of the human race?
True. I lost my wallet for about 3 days. I was unemployed and hadn't left my house. Tore it apart room by room. Multiple times. Finally caved and called the bank and credit card companies.
Less than an hour later I found it in between couch cushions. That I had also moved earlier that same day.
As they say, it's always in the last place you look. Which always happen to be the one spot you somehow did not look, even if you moved heaven and earth to find it.
It's like the objects go through a portal in space and time and end up blipping back into existence after you get replacements.
One time my mom lost my spare car keys. There was a recliner she liked to sit in and I looked all over it both extended and not. Turned it over, shook it around, all the things. I eventually gave up on having spare car keys. About 5 years later I turned the recliner over to look for something else and the keys fell out.
What you gotta do is walk around and loudly declare you're giving up your search so the thingamabob gods are appeased that they've defeated you. Your lost item will turn up shortly.
Yup. I lost a hat once. It was my favorite hat and I’m very particular about how a hat fits. The lost period lasted over the holidays, so several different people got me a version of the hat. I ended up with 5 or 6 very similar hats. They were very nice and I used them all, I still have two of them, but it wasn’t MY hat. About six months later I go to my car and there’s my hat sitting on the passenger headrest. Nobody ever fessed up.
I book a holiday for right after Christmas with my girlfriend and because she is an organised type she suggests we get passports etc together before the holiday so there are no surprises. Lucky she does because guess what, my passport isn't where it's supposed to be. I turn the house upside down, nothing. I'm not about to miss my holiday so with days to go before Christmas I arrange an emergency appointment at the passport office in Wales and go to visit a professional mate to get her signature on the photos. After 4+ hours in the car I get to the office in good time for my appointment only for them to reject the application because I didn't read the instructions and used a different pen for the signatures and the rest of the form.
It's now the 23rd so no chance of a second attempt before we fly, early on the 27th. Dejectedly I drive hours home again, sit my other half down on the bed and tell her we aren't going on holiday because I lost my passport. Reaching into the bedside table for a tissue she says, "what, this passport?"
I'm amazed she agreed to go with me after that display of idiocy to be honest.
I had my lost my apple watch in our apartment right as we moved in gave up looking for it then the next year bought a new one, when we moved out we were moving the couch and heard something moving around and there it was some how in a pocket of the couch that you couldn't reach unless you flipped the couch and cut it out lol
a month later, I bought a 1tb ssd for my secondary pc. I got the ssd in the mail, sat at my desk and opened it, then started setting up an iso for it, and as I move it closer to me as I get ready to put it in the other pc and install the iso via USB, I notice something on my desk right next to me.
Hah I lost my wallet, had no clue where it was, until I walked into my yard and found that my dog played with it and emptied its contents all over the lawn. Turns out it fell out of my pocket while I was playing with him a few days prior. I had already cancelled all my cards and put in for replacement id.
Similar thing happened to a buddy when he went into the military.
At the end of basic training, when you graduate, you then spend about half a day or so with your family, if they came to watch you graduate. My buddy took his wallet with him, and withdrew a decent chunk of cash to spend through the day, and to have when he got to AIT (advanced individual training, basically kinda boot camp 2.0 where you learn to do your MOS- your specialty, like medic, or communications or w/e).
He got to AIT and couldn't find his wallet for the life of him. He eventually got it replaced, and all the cards in it as well, and justa kinda shrugged at the lost $200 or so.
When he went to his duty station a few months later, he found his wallet. It was still on the inside pocket of his suit jacket- the uniform you wear for special occasions like graduating and stuff like that. Apparently he put it there, and then since he didnt use the suit for anything, he just forgot lol.
My wallet fell between my hamper and wall. I don't move the hamper, just take the stuff out. Took me 3 weeks til my dog knocked it over. I feel your pain.
I keep my wallet in my backpack at work while on shift. Finished shift one day and wallet is gone. Empty entire bag on to ground upside down and everything - no wallet. Figured it must have been stolen by another employee or something. Had my house keys inside it too, literally couldn't even get home that night. Had to replace everything, call a locksmith etc. Turns out the inside lining of my bag had a small slit in it and the wallet slipped inside and had worked its way right down to the bottom. Found it like a week later after I noticed the hole when something else fell inside.
Something similar happaned to me with my car keys. I put them down on a little bar by the front door when I got home, and at some point one of us placed a little basket on top of them. We looked everywhere, but never thought to ever pick up the damn basket. The day after I had a replacement $220 key fob made, I found them.
Hung up a pair of special jeans on a hangar and my wallet fell out of the back pocket. Slid right down into the bottom cuff on the leg. Didn't know till I wore those jeans over a month later.
Im someone who just doesn't misplace my everyday items. I'm a creature of habit so they are only ever in one of a couple possible spots...
Well, when my kids were about 4 and 6 years old, I lost my wallet, just, poof, it was gone one day. But again, I don't lose things, so I was convinced it would turn up, and I refused to replace my cards... Well, after a month of this, I caved and decided it was time to replace the cards. Because I was going to have to go do that after work, my wife was gonna have to pick up the kids, so I went to pull the car seats out of my truck and put them in her car. And that's when I found my wallet... Stuffed behind one of the kids car seats.... I was so relieved. And so angry.... Absolutely no way anyone in this world will ever convince me that wasn't one of the kids... To this day I think the most effective revenge that's ever been taken out on me... By either a 4 or 6 yr old... They're teenagers now 😬
I lost my wallet while commuting on the underground. This was 10 years ago or so, so I didnt have my card on my phone yet. Since I had no money nor my transport pass I got out at the station I was on and called my parents to come pick me up. After 40min or so they came, I got in the car and after another 30 min or so, when we were arriving home I suddenly felt something heavy when I moved the coat I was holding in my arms... The wallet had fallen from the inside pocket into the coat sleeve and had gotten stuck there.
We stayed in a bed and breakfast for a couple days for our honeymoon. When we were leaving, my husband couldn't find his wallet anywhere. He swore he put it in the top nightstand drawer but it wasn't in there. We were freaking out because he had gotten a bunch of cash before the wedding to pay any last minute bills, and as tips for various service people, and still had over a thousand bucks in it. We looked everywhere for hours and couldn't find it, but we had to get home.
A friend of my mom's owned the place, so she let us have the spare keys to go back and look for the wallet when we had a chance. That was a couple weeks later. Again, we spent hours looking everywhere we could think of throughout this huge 120 year old house. As i was going through the dresser in the bedroom we stayed in, i heard my husband say "WTF!" and turned to see him holding his wallet. He showed me where he found it.
The nightstand had a secret drawer hidden above the top drawer. It was a fancy antique with molding around the top, large enough to hide a shallow secret compartment. Somehow my husband had pulled that out and dropped in his wallet then shut it without really looking at it.
The dresser looked like it matched the nightstand, so i tried pulling on its molding. Secret drawer there too. I told the owner later and she was very surprised.
Same. Especially since last night I used my phone to log my son into YouTube, which sent me a notification that I didn’t get, so I asked where my phone was. I even said, “if I can’t find my phone, then we can’t log you in, buddy.”
Haha I love the idea of a color changing couch, but sadly, the infrared camera just doesn't pick up colors on some materials (notice the orange balloon turns white too).
I have a lawn chair outside that is black, but looks bright white on the night vision.
Honestly, in the long run, projectors are cheaper overall. They last much longer and you can have a massive screen size if you have the room. Even as cheap as big TVs have gotten, I still think a projector system is the best bang for the buck.
I don't know about that. Definitely cheaper per inch, but if you want a truly good projector you have to spend like $4k and even then with an ALR screen and everything it still looks significantly worse than a TV if the lights are on. You can get a pretty nice (and huge) TV for $1500 these days.
Yep, can get 100 inch QLED/FALD on sale for ~$1500 fairly regularly. Really hard to justify the projector for me personally since you can't get true 4K 144Hz at any price.
Projector is worth it if either you want a really big screen or you don't want a TV on your wall. Otherwise you'll probably be happier with a TV.
As someone who watches TV or movies only a couple of times a week and wants it to be on a 150" screen when I do, a projector is great. Waiting till after dark is no problem, and I really like not having a TV on the wall.
Yeah I like having nothing breakable in the reach of children. All my speakers are mounted pretty high up and my receiver is up on a shelf behind the projector.
It's only annoying if it's during the day and we gotta make the room dark to enjoy a show. Still use our tiny over the fireplace tv well more. But it feels like a treat to have the projector as an option.
So do I, it still works during the day but I still need to close all the blinds in the room because it sits in front of our bay windows. And that slight annoyance means we turn on the other tv more... As I typed this I realize it's the most non-important first world problem one can have lol
Yeah we switched to laser projectors five years ago where I work and I haven't had to replace a bulb or anything yet. Not sure even how to do it when it happens, lol.
One time I watched my license fall out of my pocket and into a gap between the baseboard and wall! Thank goodness I saw it happen because it would’ve been permanently lost to the abyss. Funny how things get lost
My wife handed her ID over the pharmacy drive through and as it was handed back to her it fell. She couldn't find it and was confused as hell where it could have gone when it wasn't inside her car or under it in the drive through. I thought it was a slim chance but I had panel tools in my garage so I opened the driver side door trim and opened up the power window. The damn thing fell and landed in the slit left open by the window being down and fell into the door itself.
This reminds me of something I learned working in a second-hand store in 2005. They had a hang glider on the ceiling, huge, fully assembled, hang glider. Couldn’t be more obvious. But people never asked about it, and I would always forget it was there, and it was a big lesson about shop displays. PEOPLE DON’T LOOK UP. They will not see shit if it’s above head height.
Cameras can change their settings based on how much light there is as well as color correction. The clip of the screen hooking the bag looks like it was at night with a yellow incandescent ceiling light, vs during the day with the door open letting in natural lighting.
Man, it took me until after I watched the whole thing to realize it was the same room. I understand how that happens, but for me I didn't even know that it was happening.
I know someone who reported their car stolen then about a week later they spotted it in the primary school carpark. They forgot that they had driven their kid to school one day but got chatting to another parent and walked home, leaving the car at the school.
"...and I'm gonna have just the biggest picture of elephants in my living room. Just the mostest biggest picture of elephants I can get. Boy, wait till you see how big a picture of elephants I'm gonna have, it'll be almost as big as a real elephant!"
"OK sweetie, time for bed now though, huh? It's sleepy time."
"Yeah, but mom?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Will you come see my biggest picture of elephants when I'm all growd up and got my own house,"
"Sure sweetie, I'll come see but it's sleepy time now, so lets snuggle you down,"
"Yeah, OK mom, I bet I dream about that big elephants picture again,"
Mid 90s, I installed a sub box in the trunk of my first car. Went in my trunk for something with the stereo blasting and couldnt find 1 set of my keys. Looked all over inside of car, under car, spare tire well, under seats, etc. Fast forward 5ish years and Im taking out the sub box because Im junking the car. Flipped over sub box while moving it and keys fell out one of the ports.....lmao
It reminds me of one of the most improbable things that ever happened on Taskmaster, Tim Vine accidentally catching a falling hook with his shoulder loop and then spending fifteen minutes looking for it. https://youtu.be/B-uchxPcyI4?t=142
I keep telling my ADHD wife that having cameras at home is a REALLY good solution to all her "lost/forgot" stories but she is always against it. I hope this video will change her mind.
That, or 1727492 apple airtags glued to everything, including children.
It’s insane how many times we’ve used our in home cameras to find missing things over the years lol. It works like a charm. It’s basically the only time we view the footage unless something gets stolen.
Back in 2021 my daughter was using my spare iPhone that still contained tons of important photos I had not transferred yet. She lost it, and I looked for a month and couldn’t find it. I check the cameras finally, we see it drop between a crack in the wall and this half moon stage thing we had in the living room. I would have never looked there until the platform was taken apart and removed.
So when something goes missing, I go right to the cameras now and check when I last had it, and then where it ends up.

Not as bizarre but kind of similar. I lost my wallet so thoroughly I eventually had to replace my ID and bank cards. It turns out it had fallen on my floor and my wicker laundry basket wound up on top of it. Somehow one side of the wallet had gotten hooked in a band on the bottom, so every time I lifted the basket to look under it, the wallet was lifted too.
How did you find it
Once they replaced everything the old wallet appeared.
Just a guess but that's what happens to me when I replace something, the old thing turns up shortly after I get the new thing.
Basically. I hadn't replaced the wallet, just the cards (the pain in the ass part), and after that it promptly fell off the basket when I lifted it.
Sometimes the universe has a really really good sense of humor
"It was just a prank bro!"
It was a social experiment!
What if it was a time traveler that hid the wallet because the credit cards were linked to a terrorist organization that caused a catastrophic extinction level event and when the traveler came back he noticed it was some regular guy who had his wallet stolen and just hid it so it wouldn't get stolen and cause the genocide of the human race?
You never know.
Jeez, I'd rather haunt than heaven
Now that she's found her purse, can we discuss the elephants in the room?
What elephants? Is this like Where's Waldo?
I blame Fairies (mythological, and myself)
Bet you said "Are you fucking kidding me right now?"
I was pretty pissed, but then, I'd gotten ~$45 back, so that's something...
Well, at least it wasn't in the hamper. Money laundering is bad.
True. I lost my wallet for about 3 days. I was unemployed and hadn't left my house. Tore it apart room by room. Multiple times. Finally caved and called the bank and credit card companies.

It's like the objects go through a portal in space and time and end up blipping back into existence after you get replacements.
Well yeah, because you stop looking after you find it.
I actually keep looking just in case I find a second one.
I keep looking for pure love of the game.
One time my mom lost my spare car keys. There was a recliner she liked to sit in and I looked all over it both extended and not. Turned it over, shook it around, all the things. I eventually gave up on having spare car keys. About 5 years later I turned the recliner over to look for something else and the keys fell out.
My buddy and I refer to it as the crumb dimension. It's where everything hides, until after you have looked for it in any given spot.
I mean, where else is it gonna be? Once you find it, you stop looking.
Terry Pratchett almost certainly mentioned this law of nature in one of the Discworld novels.
What you gotta do is walk around and loudly declare you're giving up your search so the thingamabob gods are appeased that they've defeated you. Your lost item will turn up shortly.
Of course! Reverse psychology! It's all so simple!

I just replaced some missing gloves. Hopefully the old ones show up some day soon so I have a backup 😭
Every. Time.

After you put off replacing it as long as possible hoping it would turn up
years ago, i bought a 1tb ssd for my secondary pc
a month later, I bought a 1tb ssd for my secondary pc. I got the ssd in the mail, sat at my desk and opened it, then started setting up an iso for it, and as I move it closer to me as I get ready to put it in the other pc and install the iso via USB, I notice something on my desk right next to me.
the other brand new ssd.
:(
This is a law of life, physics, reality that I whole heartedly believe in.
If you lose something, it will turn up as soon as you replace it. I've had this happen SO many times with my tools.
I wish all the 10mm sockets I have lost would show back up. I think they have their very own dimension with no return portal
I lost my chapstick, bought another. Now I have 7 chapsticks.
Hah I lost my wallet, had no clue where it was, until I walked into my yard and found that my dog played with it and emptied its contents all over the lawn.

I lost my wallet for a few days twice in the same tiny apartment. I have an Air Tag in there now. It was extremely frustrating.
I keep my wallet in my backpack at work while on shift. Finished shift one day and wallet is gone. Empty entire bag on to ground upside down and everything - no wallet.

Same thing happened with my brother. We found it under the dryer when we moved out 15 years later.
Well hey, at least you found them in a useful time-frame...
Something similar happaned to me with my car keys. I put them down on a little bar by the front door when I got home, and at some point one of us placed a little basket on top of them.

I saw this happen to someone so I just airtagged everything
Thats fuckin diabolical
That's something out of an old slapstick comedy 😂
I lost my wallet somewhere in my house a couple months ago. Replaced all the cards but I'm still looking for it.
Your comment made me go check under my laundry basket but it wasn't there either.
Someday I'll find it...
Wow it was like you inadvertently did a magic trick on yourself
We stayed in a bed and breakfast for a couple days for our honeymoon. When we were leaving, my husband couldn't find his wallet anywhere. He swore he put it in the top nightstand drawer but it wasn't in there.

Thought it was the one hanging off her side at first
I thought it was going to be sitting on the couch, blended in with the surrounding pattern.
Yeah I was expecting a couch patterned bag for sure
Crazy how the couch pattern vanishes in night vision camera
that couch pattern is definitely quite camouflaged tbh
Same. Especially since last night I used my phone to log my son into YouTube, which sent me a notification that I didn’t get, so I asked where my phone was. I even said, “if I can’t find my phone, then we can’t log you in, buddy.”
“Daddy? … it’s in your hand.”
“Oh.”
One time I was looking for my phone and thought it had fallen under the sofa. So I turned on my flashlight to look for it.
The flashlight app on my phone.
Should've called it.
My wife looked for her phone for 10 odd minutes and I said "let me call it"....her left breast rang. She had shoved it in her bra strap and forgot.
The 2025 version of "have you seen my glasses?"
As a glasses-wearer, I assure you this still happens in 2025.
I swap glasses a lot (hate progressive lenses). I stuck an AirTag in the glasses case that travels with me the most.
"Just testing you, bud"
lol. Well done. I see you’ve played this game before.
I once spent 30 minutes looking for my glasses... which were on my face.
Not my proudest moment.
I tried to remove my glasses from my face yesterday to change shirts forgetting that I had switched to my contacts and was no longer wearing glasses.
Be like the time I was trying to find my phone by using the flashlight on my phone.
I’ve attempted to make a phone call using the calculator app, then got frustrated when I couldn’t find the “dial” button.
That is genuinely funny and made me chuckle, thanks for sharing 👍
I as well rapidly exhaled from my nose.
Additional generic comment
Obligatory comment dragging out the joke past the point of funny
Oh I can continue on making the joke less funny and people wishing they’d never followed us down this path of stupidity.

Are we gonna address the elephants in the room?
No, we do NOT talk about the elephants here.
If it's what I think it is, it's like $50k for that print.
I mean he’s got an electric retracting Screen Innovations screen so I’d say he’s doing well financially.
This is prime r/derailedbydetails material. The more I look the more I see.
Nah just put it behind the screen
Bro lives in a furniture showroom
There is absolutely nowhere to set down a drink. Anywhere.
Everything in that room screams "lots of money, zero taste".
Looks comfy to me.
taste is subjective, we may not like it but who cares, they do
Do they, though? Really?
The furniture feels weirdly oversized for the space that it occupies. Looks kinda claustrophobic in there.
To me this screams, "bro gave up the fight years ago."
Damn, some y'all have TV's coming down out of your ceiling?
Got them rich people problems. "My TV gon' picked up and ran with my purse." (This is really funny though)
Am I going nuts, am i stupid, or is it a wealthy thing to have a couch that changes color?
Not sure how i didn't notice that the first time. I think it's a lighting thing but I'm not sure.
That's the camera in low-light mode.
Haha I love the idea of a color changing couch, but sadly, the infrared camera just doesn't pick up colors on some materials (notice the orange balloon turns white too). I have a lawn chair outside that is black, but looks bright white on the night vision.

144hz isn't really useful for watching media though. I understand for gaming though.
Projector is worth it if either you want a really big screen or you don't want a TV on your wall. Otherwise you'll probably be happier with a TV.
As someone who watches TV or movies only a couple of times a week and wants it to be on a 150" screen when I do, a projector is great. Waiting till after dark is no problem, and I really like not having a TV on the wall.

It's only annoying if it's during the day and we gotta make the room dark to enjoy a show. Still use our tiny over the fireplace tv well more. But it feels like a treat to have the projector as an option.
I have an ALR screen (ambient light rejecting screen) which works great and I don't have to fully darken the room.
Mine is for ultra short throw projectors, so it rejects light not coming from below.
So do I, it still works during the day but I still need to close all the blinds in the room because it sits in front of our bay windows. And that slight annoyance means we turn on the other tv more... As I typed this I realize it's the most non-important first world problem one can have lol
That's a great argument for automatic blinds synced to turning on the projector.
Friendly reminder this thread started off of someone talking about rich people shit.
Now we're discussing automatic blinds to trigger for our specific projector screens lol
The next step is to rant about incompatibility between various smart home systems and how you can't control all of them with one app on your phone
Most look like shit unless you spend a few thousand though.
And you need to replace the bulbs if you use it a lot
Laser light sources last longer. But for all projectors, you've gotta keep dust away.
Yeah we switched to laser projectors five years ago where I work and I haven't had to replace a bulb or anything yet. Not sure even how to do it when it happens, lol.
I've seen the inside of a 10k lumen laser phosphor model. There's a shitload of heat pipes and other thermal management stuff.
I’ve sold and installed a 30k lumen 4k laser projector, it’s huge and is water cooled with a huge radiator. Digital Projection Titan 4K
Those projectors are actually super cheap compared to good quality tvs.
Looks more like a projector screen
It's a screen, not a TV and there's a projector. It's less expensive than you think.
It looks like a projector screen, so that’s not really crazy. But the rest of that room is lol.
One time I watched my license fall out of my pocket and into a gap between the baseboard and wall! Thank goodness I saw it happen because it would’ve been permanently lost to the abyss. Funny how things get lost
My wife handed her ID over the pharmacy drive through and as it was handed back to her it fell. She couldn't find it and was confused as hell where it could have gone when it wasn't inside her car or under it in the drive through. I thought it was a slim chance but I had panel tools in my garage so I opened the driver side door trim and opened up the power window. The damn thing fell and landed in the slit left open by the window being down and fell into the door itself.
I can’t put my finger on it but the whole decor of the room is really off putting to me.
It’s the hideous blue couch 😣
r/perfectlycutscreams material at the end there
That is such a strange house.
A massive sofa, the biggest (and ugliest) I've ever seen.
A massive picture of elephants.
A TV that retracts into the ceiling???
Some countries are just built so differently to us.
It's a projector screen
You forgot the 24/7 video surveillance of it all.
Yeah crazy. Never seen anybody in the US with a house like this. Wonder what country this is normal in…
What about the surveillance system... in the living room.
The whole color scheme is way off. That sectional is a hot mess.
no wonder she can’t find it! her house is of those “hidden object” games. nothing goes with anything, so nothing stands out as “doesn’t belong”.
Wealthy people problems
That basset hound laugh at the end was the best part.
I'm jealous. I don't have a TV coming out of my ceiling. I don't have money either. Or a purse.
Yeah but you've got us! :)
Yeah!
That is a BUSY room.
This reminds me of something I learned working in a second-hand store in 2005. They had a hang glider on the ceiling, huge, fully assembled, hang glider. Couldn’t be more obvious. But people never asked about it, and I would always forget it was there, and it was a big lesson about shop displays. PEOPLE DON’T LOOK UP. They will not see shit if it’s above head height.
How'd the furniture change color completely
Looks like a camera with some low light capabilities, which will wash out colors
Let’s go back to the low light colors, because the bright light colors is … a choice…
The carpet is definitely a choice, but I kinda like the couch
Looks like hide-the-vomit stains casino carpet.
Cameras can change their settings based on how much light there is as well as color correction. The clip of the screen hooking the bag looks like it was at night with a yellow incandescent ceiling light, vs during the day with the door open letting in natural lighting.
Almost the difference between night and day.
Man, it took me until after I watched the whole thing to realize it was the same room. I understand how that happens, but for me I didn't even know that it was happening.
Just like my teammates in my games. Incapable of looking up.
Really cute video though!
That’s the ugliest couch i’ve ever seen. And its way too big.
Blaming dad!? I hope she’s not still hanging this misplaced purse thing over his head. Clearly it was a hold up! An inside job!
Perfect editing of the laugh at the very end. Well done.
I know someone who reported their car stolen then about a week later they spotted it in the primary school carpark. They forgot that they had driven their kid to school one day but got chatting to another parent and walked home, leaving the car at the school.
This is the living room that people lust for when they complain about all of the new modern home aesthetics.
flipper's being forced to look at this room with clockwork orange eye hooks.
"Yeah, ADHD runs in the family. How did you know?"
Address me.
Can we address the elephant in the room?
Ok but can we talk about the elephant in the room tho?
Let me tell you about the scissors I left on my car bumper for half a day
That couch is hideous
What a horrible room! 😖
Why do Americans have cameras in their living rooms?
American here. I don't know. I recently put up 3 cameras outside the house. I don't know why anyone would put them inside the house.
"...and I'm gonna have just the biggest picture of elephants in my living room. Just the mostest biggest picture of elephants I can get. Boy, wait till you see how big a picture of elephants I'm gonna have, it'll be almost as big as a real elephant!"
"OK sweetie, time for bed now though, huh? It's sleepy time."
"Yeah, but mom?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Will you come see my biggest picture of elephants when I'm all growd up and got my own house,"
"Sure sweetie, I'll come see but it's sleepy time now, so lets snuggle you down,"
"Yeah, OK mom, I bet I dream about that big elephants picture again,"
"Uh-huh, I bet"
It’s moments like that, that would make me feel like I’m in a Disney sitcom
This is the definition of 'first world problems'.
Dad: Master planned at its finest!
Uh-Haaaaaaah
What the hell is that couch pattern 😂
I thought her purse was the one hanging off her arm haha.
My buddy and I caught my mom looking for her phone in her purse while she was on the very same phone with my dad.
Everyone just gonna ignore the elephant in the room?
has the Attention Span fallen so low we can't even let people enjoy the entire reaction sound anymore?
I'm here for the payout, not the goddamn implication of the other half of the payout that is inexplicably cut off -_-
their "pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."
I suppose it could be a particle of preanimate matter caught in the matrix.
No, that is a bag. Her purse was hanging from her arm the whole time.
This is probably the least relatable thing that I find relatable.
This reminds me of that feeling I would get when I couldn't find my keys and my son was a toddler.
This is hilarious!!
Genuine question - why do 'muricans constantly film themselves in their own homes?
Is there a black purse in here??
Mid 90s, I installed a sub box in the trunk of my first car. Went in my trunk for something with the stereo blasting and couldnt find 1 set of my keys. Looked all over inside of car, under car, spare tire well, under seats, etc. Fast forward 5ish years and Im taking out the sub box because Im junking the car. Flipped over sub box while moving it and keys fell out one of the ports.....lmao
That is one ugly room.
This is proof that even when watching a video, humans don't look up
Is there a purse in here? Black purse
It reminds me of one of the most improbable things that ever happened on Taskmaster, Tim Vine accidentally catching a falling hook with his shoulder loop and then spending fifteen minutes looking for it. https://youtu.be/B-uchxPcyI4?t=142
Cameras inside your home is so weird
I feel that screen is entirely too large for the viewing space.
We get it, you're rich
Rich People Problems
I keep telling my ADHD wife that having cameras at home is a REALLY good solution to all her "lost/forgot" stories but she is always against it. I hope this video will change her mind.
That, or 1727492 apple airtags glued to everything, including children.
It’s insane how many times we’ve used our in home cameras to find missing things over the years lol. It works like a charm. It’s basically the only time we view the footage unless something gets stolen.
Back in 2021 my daughter was using my spare iPhone that still contained tons of important photos I had not transferred yet. She lost it, and I looked for a month and couldn’t find it. I check the cameras finally, we see it drop between a crack in the wall and this half moon stage thing we had in the living room. I would have never looked there until the platform was taken apart and removed.
So when something goes missing, I go right to the cameras now and check when I last had it, and then where it ends up.
I definitely did not see the gorilla, I mean purse, the first time watching it
I hate it when my retractable television screen steals things.
So annoying
why tf is everybody saying this yall never seen a damn projector screen before?? bruh 🤦♂️
