At some point in our lives, we find ourselves put in a situation wherein we are preoccupied with things in mind that we sometimes lost some things out of carelessness or misplaced something’s because we are busy with something else. Have you experienced having something’s lost at home because of being busy and worse you are using your mouth to look for that thing rather than finding it with your eyes? I've experienced such, back then in College where paper works were almost an everyday task to accomplish and because of such assignments i've placed my things on the wrong table. While i went back at the table i find it that my notes were lost, with a stressful head. i completely murmured rather than finding it but after the commotion, i settled and look for it with my eyes and my mouth shut. And in the long run, the notes were on the floor LOL. Please share your thoughts...

Aw! Thats my husband. He always use his mouth when looking for something, and I really hate him for that. I always tell what if something happened to me and im confined in a hospital and there are things or papers that are needed then maybe you wont find it at all. what I most hate is when he is looking for something and he cant see it even its almost on the tip of his nose because he just keep on talking and asking where is it where is it?

Sorry to hear that. probably he doesn't even know that he is offending someone most especially his wife with the type of tone or reaction he is saying. Thanks for your response.

I think we all have been in that situation once or twice in our lives, or maybe more. But I really try my best to look for things on my own rather than ask other people. And that is exactly what I tell my kids all the time. They should learn to keep their things in its proper places so that they would know where to find them when they need it. I hate it whenever they would be asking me everything and would just be blabbing about it than having time to find it.

Well yes, i do manage myself finding it on my own but regardless, we still feel that frustrating moment which resulted as to feel that way. but anyhow, as time flies on that situation we tend to have calmed down and just look for it with our eyes rather than talking much. Thanks for your response.

Yeah.. Guilty of this. =) I have had my shares of trying to find something, my mind is not focused and then my mouth keep on blabbering on where it is, where my mom has put it, and where it was moved to and if someone hasn't moved it, it will surely just where i have left it. :D hehe oh well but most of the time, though i am no longer doing this now.. i am usually just trying to find what i need to find as silently as possible.

True, sometimes we tend to focus more on our mouth than the thing itself causing that we are just looking by our mouth than our eyes. Thanks for your response.

If something is lost and I would talk then I use my eyes as well to search (and more). I keep searching. So it's kind of hard for me to understand why you are not. I learned that mostly if something is lost it will show up. So if I can't find it I give up (won't search for days/weeks). Lately one of the keys of the car was gone (my daughter and I both use it). Since we still have an other key it was not such a big deal. She found it back yesterday. Years ago the key of the bike was gone. I did find it back (after I searched for days) on the bookshelf (probably out of my usual ritme because of ...?) after I decided to break of the lock from the bike :-( A good lesson not to do that again. things are seldom lost forever.

True, but sometimes when our emotions stirs we sometimes forget that we are looking for the thing that had been lost but rather we stick on murmuring and compelling ourselves that we lost the thing causing us to look for it by our mouths. but this depends on some circumstances. Thanks for your response.

Sometimes, when I panicked I tend to murmur or like you put it, looking with “my mouth” of course it won’t be effective at all. But when I have calmed down then I can look for my missing thing with my eyes and hand. Usually I also tend to ask the people around me for my missing things, so maybe it can be counted as using “mouth” to search? But it’s useless to use mouth to search anyway, it’s better to look for missing things with eyes and hand calmly. Usually you’ll find it eventually.

True, it's so not effective when we just murmur or rather complain because we lost some things, but as the time progresses, we tend to lower our emotions and try to calm about it. Thanks for your response.

Yeah just last night I was complaining and talking while looking for my cellphone and I just can't find it. I got tired and frustrated so I stopped looking and complaining and sat down. Then I saw it on the shelf in front of me

Sometimes our frustrations leads us to make some commotion causing that we are looking for the things we lost with our mouth rather than our eyes. Thanks for your response.
