My pattern is that when I finally give up looking for something and make a definite decision to replace it or make do with something else, within a couple seconds I randomly look right at whatever I was searching for. It happens so consistently I'm sure it's a brain pattern. My theory is that part of me knows where the thing is but doesn't let the information rise to my consciousness because the search is a fun game. Then when I sincerely decide to quit looking, the game is over so there's no point hiding it anymore.
