Too true. I can drop something 6 feet away from the couch and it will end up not only underneath it, but as far away from the edge as it can possibly get.
Guys like me who build scale models have a name for the creature that lurks at floor level. It is called the “Carpet Monster”. As frustrating as it can be, looking for missing parts`gets us off our chairs for a bit. Sometimes the little gremlin will cough up its prey, sometimes not. If not, it makes us better modelers, because we have to scratch-build a replacement for the part that’s gone missing.

It’s amazing how far a peanut can bounce under the couch.

Set pills on counter top to remind me to take them. One will roll off under the stove always. Have to get flash light to find it.

While looking for it, you usually find something else that you lost 6 months ago. For some reason that item was not there the last time you looked.

And if it matches the flooring, he’s in real trouble.

Whenever I drop a small pill, it just disappears. I often think I see where it went, but careful searching all around that area is futile.
