Lighters, Come to me.  

hahahahaha...sorry for laughing but I know exactly how you feel! Now try this one for size..I had the same problem as you, never finding a damn lighter when I need one..so I also went a bought a whole pack..thinking the problem is all sorted now..No such luck! I sat here a few days ago and you wouldn't believe, none of them wanted to work!! I was going out of my mind with frustration..I tried each one till my finger was hurting, but for some stupid reason none of them would make even the smallest of flames, even though filled with gas!! I had to light mine with the stove in the end! ...lol...

That is funny...I don't smoke but I do understand your feeling..LOL! I remember my dad before he quits, he is very impatient when it comes also about that and made me nervous when he will ask me to light hi cigar and I can't find any matches..That was when I was younger...
I am glad he quits finally, but it was not easy...
I guess that is a sign that you need to stop smoking and the lighters are working hand in hand to remind you! Joke!

I do not smoke anymore but I do know your pain. I could never find lighters anywhere ever. I woud often give them to other people who asked for a light and never get them back. But for some reason all my lighters would end up in couch. I just knew that if my house ever caught on fire that my couch would just blow up. So next time that you can't find a lighter-try your couch. It always worked for me.

Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha. You ended up using the toaster, I had to warm up the car and use the exhaust! (LOL) And you know the worst part, every stinking lighter including three additional ones appear out of nowhere a couple days later, but it only happens when you run out of smokes.

I have that exact same problem with my daughter. I will ask her where my lighter is and she will swear that she has none. She does. She just takes them without realizing. I once made her empty her purse and her pockets...yup...about 6 lighters. Now I keep extras in my purse and keep a close eye on both my butts and lighter. sometimes she will be talking on the phone and move to her room for privacy and just abscently pick up both my cigs and lighter. you have to be diligent in your guarding of these things especially around the offspring.

Haha too funny Chris & its the same here.I know there are a 100 lighters here too,but where,i am sure someone steals em & its not my kids cos they don smoke,in fact my son hates it.I get told to go outside if he is,if not i open windows.
I really should go outside at all times i know.
Try in washing washine,maybe they were in a pocket & you washed them.
Toaster..well thats a good one,i didnt think of that i use the fire..if i have gas..gas fire

I know a lot of people with this problem. Constantly my dad steals lighters, i know he doesn't mean to, but if you give him one you will never see it again, lol.

Here are some things you can try to help you never lose a lighter again:

1. Hide a few in spots no one will ever look. Drawers, in a glass in the kitchen cabinets, etc.

2. Keep them in a "designated" spot - always return it to that spot, try not to take it from there.

3. Buy or get matches to keep on hand in an emergency :) Good to have even for non smokers :)

You should make sure your daughter does these things, too. if you start making a habit of putting it exactly in the same place everyday you will find yourself losing them a lot less!
