Why do some people like to move other people's things around and
forget where they put them? Including stacking things on top of each
other, like putting things on top of important things like the TV
remote or car keys.


Hoy! Are you seeing my wife?

On second thoughts, you can't be: her best triumphs are to place tall stacks
of heavy objects such as books on top of thinwalled cardboard boxes crushing
them and their contents!

She has learnt not to move things but has acquired the skill of placing
stuff over them over the past ~40 years.

"Darling, do you know where I've put my glasses?" as I grope around the
house trying to find them! No, not hidden, not crushed, just misplaced by
me. Doh!
