Looking everywhere except the right spot

[bhskittykatt]

Tonight I made some pretty decent bank valeting. On my way home this evening I got a message from my supervisor asking me to call him at work.

Me: "Yeah it's bhskittykatt."
S: "Yeah, where are the valet keys?"
Me: "They're on the valet hooks in the bell closet?"
S: "Oh thank God I was looking around and didn't know where to find them!"

Admittedly, Supervisor is fairly new. But like, valet keys go on the valet hooks. Where else would you be looking for them?

I sent him a follow-up message reminding him that the numbers on the hooks correspond to the numbered parking spaces the cars were in. You know, since this is such a complicated concept.

Naturally, everything is found in the last place you look - so why not save time by looking there first?

Are things rarely put where they are supposed to be? I sometimes have that issue.
