Really weird experience that happened to me today

So I'm at work today helping my dad remodel a house around a lake out in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky. I've been smoking one of those Blu ecigs to stop smoking cigarettes. I'm smoking on it all day, and right after lunch I place it on the edge of the table saw, in the same place I do every day so I know where it's at. I go in the back area of the house and work for about an hour, come back, and it's gone. I search the entire house top to bottom two or three times, and it's gone. It's not there. Anywhere. I'm weirded out but more angry than anything. Because now I have nothing to smoke.

So after I get off, I go home and take a shower. I get out, start drying off my hair and it feels like a wasp stung me or something bit me on the side of my head. I start brushing out my hair, and there's nothing. No wasp, no bug or anything. But right as I start trying to get whatever bit me out of my hair, I glance over and there is my ecig, laying right on my bed.

There is no way it could have came home with me. I spent hours searching everything, including what I was wearing, the truck we were in and everything. I have no idea how it somehow made it's way 30 miles back to where I live without me knowing.

This is really messing with me. I can't figure out any possible rational way this could have happened.

Very strange.
No explanation...other than it was somehow stuck in your hair and flew out on the bed when you brushed your hair.

I sometimes mindlessly put my ecig behind my ear if I quickly need my hand free.

We have experienced many such things in our home for many years, we don't even get upset anymore.

a reply to: IAMTAT

There's no way. I've never put it behind my ear and there's no way it would stay in my hair.

I really have no way to explain this. But here I sit with the ecig that vanished after lunch today. It's really put me in a weird mood since it happened.

A very similar thing happened to me years ago, I was out and about and lost my cigarettes... I know I had them with me because I already smoked a few, anyways I lost them and it had me perplexed.

I got home and when I went into the bedroom the tin that disappeared was on my pillow. The fact I put them in a tin kinda makes it impossible that I was mistaking anything. I've had other things disappear on me in similar circumstances and show up months later but nothing as obvious and screwed up as my teleporting cigarette tin.

Weird stuff

It's so weird. Nothing, I mean nothing makes sense in this situation. There's no way this could have happened. I can't even begin to fathom it.

I've had similar things happen. I was missing something like a battery pack for my power drill, or somethig like that, and I know where I put it down, b/c I was planning on using it, then when I get the charger out it's gone. I hadn't even left the room. I moved everything off my work bench, EVERYTHING, opened every box, drawer, looked inside any possible thing and when I was done by work bench was 95% cleared (b/c I moved the 5% back onto the work area). Then after taking a break (bathroom, food or whatever), I come back and it sitting smack in the middle of my work bench, in front of my chair/stool.

Now I HAD to use the drill ASAP and needed it charged, so it wasn't like I'd forget where I placed it or not recognize when I found it, b/c it would have meant I could finish the project before the epoxy dried.

I've had a few things like this happen, like going to bed and putting my glasses or watch on my night stand (normal procedure) and waking up and they are gone. spend hours looking and use old pair of glasses. Night stand was empty except for a light, then an hour or 2 later, there they are, on the stand. I've also found them in the extreme opposite side of the house, in a different room, 40ft+ away, having to walk through 3 rooms, and they were in the extreme corner of the room on a corner table. How they got there while I was asleep, I don't know, and how things re-appear is just as mysterious.

OP, aren't you a pothead?

Not saying that in a bad way, but sometimes things just get forgotten.

I like to drink a bit. So I had a similar thing happen.

I was out in the garage one night, about to go in and I saw a light on in the house. I racked my brain, NO POSSIBLE WAY did I turn it on and leave it on(would have been the night before, I get up in the night and I would have saw it).

It freaked me out a bit, did a full house sweep and checked EVERYTHING. Just couldn't believe it, but in the end had to accept the probable reality that I somehow turned it on the prior night and did not notice it all that night, the next day or the next night until around 11 when I went in.

While it felt weird, logic won out. Everything was in it's place and it just seemed plausible that it was a mistake/move on my part that I did not recall.

ETA: For clarity, the "garage" is a detached out building about 40 feet behind my house. So I literally went to piss and saw a light on in a room that I RARELY go in. Unsettling, at first, to say the least.

Luckily somehow you found it or it found you.
My wife and I have lived in our house for almost 8 years and things have gone missing and have never been seen since.
Strange things to be missing too......a matching pair of drinking glasses from a set, one of our dog’s collars from around his neck and other things that I can’t think of at the moment.
We have gotten used to it as well.

I've found that lighters tend to do this as well once in a while, and flashlights. I wonder if it gremlins or poltergiests

The only thing I smoke at work is the ecig. And I make sure I have it and know where it is, all the time. That's my break when I'm not on break.

There's really nothing that makes sense in this situation. I've been racking my brain since I got home today and this happened. I can't even begin to come up with an explanation.

Don't ya love it....reality mess in with ya

If you had a place by the mitre saw......

Daily tasks that are repetitious become subconscious. At some point interaction with them can become "unlogged" within our conscious memory.

I'd think it's possible you shoved it in your pocket and then pulled it out and set it down, albeit in an unusual place. Only to notice the unusualness of the location when you consciously acknowledged it's position.

It's far more plausible to be a "hickup" of the subconscious mind than an actual outside event.

I had nephews who played where I thought I lost them so I looked for a while to find em, eventually just gave up.

When I saw it on my bed I just muttered "fair enough world I'm done for the day" and went to bed haha, it really freaked me out at the time.

I'm quoting my own post because if you have ANY degree of OCD, this type of behavior is just magnified.

I have OCD and when something like the above happens it's all consuming and "boggles" my CONSCIOUS mind. Often times it's just chalked up to subconscious repetition, or a faulty version there of.

I searched everywhere. On our late afternoon break, I spent the whole thing looking for it. Everywhere. My clothes, the truck, every place in every room in the house it could be. I checked every single place.

And even if I did lose it on my own, how on earth could it be laying right there on my bed when I was drying off after the shower? I've been doing insulation, so the clothes I'm wearing don't get past my front closet because the last thing I'm trying to do is get insulation everywhere. I make sure I dont go in my room wearing what I wore to work.

And there it was.

a reply to: MisterSpock

I've never had OCD or anything like that. I just dont see it given the routine I have with what I do with my clothes when I get home every day. Like I said above, even if it was in my clothes somewhere there no way it could have made it to my bedroom.

If spirits exist, it is good proof. Perhaps some spirits can pull these little tricks off, for amusement?, or they have manipulated your immediate future for some reason. Intreaguing because it has happened to me and my son-in-law when we lost a cell phone on a table. We we were absolutely alone and searched for a few hours, took a break, and when we went back into the room, there was the phone right on the table. (The phone was also dead, so it obviously did not answer our calls, but it was not when it was lost.)

We here at the Vegas Vape Store would like to apologize, but you were accidentally sold eCigs from the uh ... reserved inventory for a ... uh ... special client.

We regret to inform you that your Dad lives in Florida. There is no lake house in Kentucky. And you've been lost in the desert for five days.

Please call 9-11 and try to describe your surroundings. And, as always, thank you for shopping at the Vegas Vape Store.

If only. I'd buy a case.

Lmao.
