Things you've bought twice

[Pale Rider]

Have you ever bought something knowing you already have it but cannot find it?

I have a Garmin Touring and a Lezyne rechargeable light, both of which take the same recharging lead.

Try as I might, I could not find either lead so I'm unable to charge both gadgets.

Nothing for it but to bite the bullet and order another lead, despite already having two leads - somewhere.

What have you bought again?

Not only have I bought stuff that I know I have but can't find, I've then gone to put the new one "somewhere safe" only to find the original!!

Pedals.

Anyone searching through my loft, garage and various spares box would think I had a pedal fetish. I just forget I've got them, which is why I have three pair of SPDs knocking around and I have only rarely used SPDs. There seem to be a few road pedals about too, and I once came across a brand new pair of Looks that I didn't even realise I had.

I thought that was an essential part of finding lost things:

Step 1: look everywhere
Step 2: Buy replacement
Step 3: Find original.

Step 4: Lose both and buy a third!

There is only one sure way to find something you've lost: buy another one.

E-books. I buy form a few places and never remember where they are. Either in Kindle, Kobo or Google play. I cant find a particular 1 then buy it again

I hadn't thought about mislaying virtual things.

It is surprisingly easy to do. Well for me anyway

I 'bought' (rented) the same DVD three times in one week, having twice mislaid the memory that I had already watched it.

(I began to suspect that I was drinking too much, too often! )
