      The same goes for eyeglasses. Have you seen them? Yup they're on your head.
      I'm guilty of this, myself, as well as the exact opposite -- I have lifted my hand to my face in order to "adjust" my glasses when I wasn't actually *wearing* them. Keep in mind that I can't see clearly more than about 4 inches without specs on, so you'd think I would have noticed the lack of clear vision >_>

                  Thank you, I knew there was one people used, but I couldn't see it, so I assumed that it was one of the imports.

                    I'm surprised they stock the milk and eggs together.

                    Our supermarkets pride themselves on stocking the most common used items at opposite ends of the store so you have more opportunity to impulse buy somthing else on the way. Trying to pick up bread and milk sees you schlepping across 22 isles as they are literally at opposites ends of the store.

                    But, yes, I suffer from a similar "blind to the obvious" affliction. A friend once placed a pile of sticks and rocks at my gate as a sign they had been there. I stepped over them for a week before I noticed........

                      But they both need to be in the dairy section!

                      It's a pet peeve of mine that supermarkets nutrition counts always seem to lump eggs in with dairy. I understand that it's just to not have a category of one item, but you would not believe the number of people who think that because someone has a sensitivity to milk that they can't have eggs. Although I'm sure that some of the people who think that I can't have mayonnaise just have absolutely no clue as to what's in it. (Hopefully they don't have any lacto-vegetarian friends... the vegans are safe, but there's not a lot of them).
