Please pray for my Air Pods

Can you please say a little plea to Saint Anthony, I am going mad searching for my Air Pods, Find My... says they're in this house somewhere but after hours of searching in 3 shifts I CANNOT FIND THEM.
Anyone know where they are?

Can't you make them make a noise?

I'm sure you already would have done that if you could. But just in case.

I'd be searching every bag.

You know you can track them on your iPhone? Under ‘find my’ and it’ll home in on them.

Pantsomime · 05/02/2023 23:24

Can't make them make a noise sadly, it's saying 'out of case' for both buds but still in the house. It's very weird as I'm very careful with them and use them twice a day on dog walks. I've looked down behind sofas and furniture thinking they've fallen and popped out somewhere but no luck.
Anyone got any woo feelings? I need some hints

Have you checked your jacket pocket for any small holes they could have fallen in? Check in the fridge or kitchen drawers. There's been times where I've put things in wrong places while cleaning up

I've tried all pockets, bags, wellies, drawers, oven, freezer, inside and outside bins, cars, dishwasher, it's driving me mad

Oh that’s so annoying. Any help in here? Sounds like you’ve tried the clever locating stuff. www.headphonesty.com/2021/07/find-my-airpods/

In the loo on the side? In the wrong pocket? Under a cupboard? (I dropped mine once and the AirPods bounced out like little springs and rolled under a cupboard).

Aldisfinest · 05/02/2023 23:26

Washing machine!??

MonkeysNeverLie · 05/02/2023 23:27

In the bed?

In the dog?

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 05/02/2023 23:28

Mine loves an earplug I assume it's the wax

Justmeandthedog1 · 05/02/2023 23:29

Do you take any bumbag/ crossbody bag on dog walk?
Dog walking coat pockets?
Where you put your keys when you come back into house?
Under your pillow? I’m constantly amazed at the amount of stuff I put under my pillow.

Flapped the duvet and pulled the mattress away, climbed under and then pulled the bed away from the wall, was a bit alarmed at the dust back there so that added to my list of jobs

In pockets in the laundry basket!

Thank you for the suggestions, it's driving me potty

When you got back from the dog walk what's the first thing you done? Retrace your steps. Throw keys in a basket by the front door? Check there. Hung up your coat? Check there? Took off your shoes? Check in your shoes.

Checked the washing pockets earlier, then went back to my jeans drawer and checked clothes I haven't worn for months, nothing

Dd misplaced hers the other day, she found them in a pocket in her laundry bag! Other places she’s put one down include the fruit bowl (strangely enough this is never used for fruit, it’s a catch-all bowl on a kitchen shelf!), windowsill and garden table.
have you considered that your dog may have eaten them? 🫣

VittysCardigan · 05/02/2023 23:33

Did you dispose of a poo bag after dog walk? Are they in the bin?

usernamechanged1 · 05/02/2023 23:34

I lost mine recently and they were in the shoes I’d had on. I’d come back from walking the dog and must’ve had too much to carry. Check your shoes, I’m invested in this!

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 05/02/2023 23:34

In the pocket of jeans or trousers you were wearing last time you wore them if you put them away because they were clean?

Under your bed, or behind some furniture you might sit them on.

Mine went missing the other day, 'find my' said they were out of the case, but they weren't when I found them.

Have you changed jacket/coat since you last used they?

Round the back of the toilet basin?

keri17 · 05/02/2023 23:35

Are you sure they are not offline, as they won’t play a sound, it might be showing you a last known location. What series are they?

Good thought about the dog but she wasn't here earlier and it was still showing as being at home on Find My, she's not normally bothered about anything but cheese

Yes I think it's 'last location' showing from Thursday - the battery was pretty low. Not sure what series they are but they were new Christmas 2021
