not like normal as in you should be losing things, but like it happens to everyone right? Should I stop worrying?

Losing your keys or your ID & stuff like that from time to time is normal.

Losing such small but necessary items on a daily basis is normal for some people but annoying as hell to whomever they live with, which is why most people have stuff like hooks to hang keys on or a little basket or something by the door where they can put their keys when they come in the house.

People who lose stuff all the time are typically pigs. They have a tendency to just let stuff lay where it falls instead of putting their keys on the hook by the door or putting their ID back in their wallet. If you decide on a place for things to go (keys on the hook, ID in wallet, scissors in kitchen drawer, glasses on bedside table, etc) and put them there when you are not using them you will find you rarely lose things and waste a lot less time ripping your entire house apart looking for stuff.

People who put their stuff away and therefore rarely lose tings get annoyed with people who constantly lose things because having to stop what they’re doing and help the loser find whatever it is they’ve lost this time is about as irritating as hell. That’s why we put our stuff away, we don’t like having to search for stuff. So, like I said, losing stuff every day is an excellent way to annoy the pisss out of your roommates/family members but normal for some.

“Losing” money all the time is not normal and usually indicates either a drug or gambling addiction or some other sort of illicit behavior a person is spending all their money on and trying to keep secret. Ditto losing small but valuable items like jewelry, gold and silver coins and stuff like that. Most people, even lazy, disorganized people, don’t constantly “lose” items that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Sure, it can happen to anyone once in awhile, but anyone who accidentally loses their wedding ring down the sink drain or accidentally drops a krugerand down a floor vent typically will take apart the entire kitchen/ducting to recover the item. Only drug addicts and gamblers “lose” such items on a regular basis and never seem to be able to find them again. That is because they “lost” them at the pawn shop when they sold them for cash to feed their habit.

Put your stuff away and don’t gamble or shoot coke.
