    My wife lost her wedding ring in May. We eventually found it in November. We were pretty actively looking for it for the whole time. Checked all the vents. Moved the over, fridge, dishwasher, bed, washer and drier. You name it, we checked it. Eventually disassembled the sectional couch and found it under one of the sections. Which was weird because there were no gaps that it should have been able to fall through to get under there. Like, you couldn’t slide a penny under the couch.

    It won’t be the longest time compared to others that commented here, nor will it be the funniest one, but it ought to be the stupidest thing one has searched for.

    I spend the last couple months searching for a 1$ notebook (without any important or precious notes in it) plus the 0.50$ crystal Bic pen that accompanied it.

    I don’t care about these two but I also cannot understand how/where/when I lost them. It just makes no sense. So, for the last two months I’ve been searching everywhere, which also means searching every single one of the many streets I could have walked by (I try to go everywhere I can walking).

    And, yep, I am still searching today. Maybe not as actively but I still am. And that still drives me crazy to not know what happened to them :p

    On the other hand, around the same time I also lost a portable Samsung SSD drive that was worth a couple hundred. But this one I barely searched for it as I was almost certain I had mistakenly put it in bag of stuff I gave away to a charity (yep, the drive was encrypted, like all my other drives) ;)

    I once had a Super Nintendo game involving a phoenix that I actually spent money in a pay phone calling Nintendo power over.

    Still don’t know the name of that game and I’ve been trying to figure it out for 20 years.

    At one point I thought it was guiding light

    Doubtful it’s the longest I have looked for something, but going on a month or so trying to find my baking sheet. I just want to roast some veggies damn it. How do you lose a baking sheet!?

    It wasn’t that long ago here that I spend a week looking for my favorite shirt. It wasn’t in my drawer. It wasn’t hanging in my closet. It wasn’t under my bed or between anything in my room where it might have possibly gotten wedged. I thought I might have accidentally left it in the laundry or had it fall out of my basket walking back to my apartment. Ended up finding it buried in the back of my closet while grabbing my toolbox for some unrelated reason after giving up ever seeing again and was gonna buy a new one.
