Have you ever hold something in your hand and you are searching for the same thing?

This has happened to me several times before. I absent-mindedly hold something in my hand and at the same time searching for it until I realize it was in my hand . Has this ever happened to you sometimes?

Yes, and it is usually my phone. Which is absolutely ridiculous, but it seems to be a common thing for people with a lot on their mind. Or, maybe it happens to everyone, no matter what. In second place, is my TV remote. I’m like, I hate this show, I need to turn it. And since I can’t manually turn the channel, I go nuts looking for the remote, but it’s in my hand!

I just did that yesterday for my car keys! Holding them and searching where I always keep them. I thought I was losing my mind!
