[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The saying that "It's always in the last place you look" is literal.  It's the last place because you found it!  Don't know why that never clicked for me.[/quote]

NP  I don't interpret it this way.  I think of it as the last place you would look because you don't think it would be there.  For example, my kids don't hang up their coats and when they are running around looking for them the last place we would look is in the closet!  But, sometimes it is there so it is the last place we would have looked![/quote]

Yeah, I think this is how most people mean it, though the phrase I've generally heard is along the lines of "Why is it always in the last place you'd think to look?"  It's a pretty useful saying if you can't retrace your steps or remember when you last saw the thing.  Plenty of times I've found keys in the refrigerator or freezer, for example.[/quote]

Whenever I lose something, I always picture it in the refrigerator and go look there. Yet, I have never once found anything in my fridge that didn't belong there.[/quote]
