It's a feeling of despair when you can't find the item you need at the moment. No matter how many times you turn your mind, you can't find it. You were sure that the batteries were in the cupboard under the sink, but no. After the traditional ‘Honey! Do you know where you put the [insert lost item]?’, because yes, if you can't find them, it's obviously the other person's fault, you give up and go buy another one.

In addition, the study also showed which objects were the most lost. The number one item was the remote control. More than 71% of Americans said they had lost it at least once a month, and it was the main item lost by 45% of participants. In second place, at 33%, telephones were the most misplaced. In third, fourth and fifth place were keys (28%), glasses (27%) and shoes (24%), respectively, as reported by Pr NewsWire.
