Where the fuckity fuck is my rolling pin

It has disappeared completely, not fallen down the back of cupboards it is absolutely nowhere to be found, I use it all the time how can it just vanish? No one has used it to kill spiders bang nails in or anything it is just gone. Where can it be?

Do you have a corner cupboard? I find stuff gets lost in there!

pinktransit · 05/10/2022 11:27

It's with my bright orange sieve.

BertaHoon · 05/10/2022 11:30

It's in the toybox with your car keys.

inappropriateraspberry · 05/10/2022 11:30

And with the nozzle for my vacuum cleaner.

We once couldn’t find the doodad for defrosting the freezer.

Ended up buying a new one. Defrosted the freezer…the bloody thing was under the ice.

No help I’m afraid but it reminded me.

Hiding in plain sight on the counter top.

I have what I call the 'blind corner' in our corner cupboard - is it wedged in there?

Do you have a partner?
They've put it in a cupboard up high because there was " no room in the drawer."
Ask me how I know this Smile.

Standing in the corner of a cupboard and you're ignoring it cos it's not lying down looking like a rolling pin

Dox9 · 05/10/2022 11:38

Toybox with tubs of playdoh

DH regularly puts mine in a different drawer to the one it lives in.

I've started moving his golf stuff around in the garage so that he too can share the utter joy of not being able to find something.

Funnily enough it makes him very annoyed Grin

Use a wine bottle instead

Dodie66 · 05/10/2022 11:47

Has it gone over the back of the drawer and fallen down to the floor. Pullout other drawers etc and see if it has fallen into another drawer

AhhSlippedOnMahBeansRitaaa · 05/10/2022 11:59

Mine was in the play dough box 😐 I bought a new one for real food!

stayathomegardener · 05/10/2022 12:09

In the greenhouse

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 05/10/2022 12:14

I once was drunk and became convinced that someone was going to break into the house so I brought my rolling pin to bed with me as a weapon. Forgot all about it until I couldn't find it one day and remembered. Check your bedside table?

Staggersaurus · 05/10/2022 12:14

I found mine in a bush in the garden. Pesky kids!

Retrievemysanity · 05/10/2022 12:25

In an apron pocket?!

TroysMammy · 05/10/2022 12:28

Inside a rolled up silicon pastry mat. That's where I keep mine.

purplecorkheart · 05/10/2022 12:28

In the random junk drawer or press that houses those gadgets that you never use but keep because they may come in handy some day.

Thelnebriati · 05/10/2022 12:31

IME you have to buy a new one and the old one will miraculously appear.

hoorayandupsherises · 05/10/2022 12:33

DH used mine to mix paint. If I'd have found the rolling pin at that point, I know where I'd have put it ...

CharlotteFlax · 05/10/2022 12:38

Mine has been known to flop out of the back of the drawer it's in and disappear right into the back of the cabinet cavity. So not just in the drawer below the one it should've been in but right in the unit carcass (involves getting all the drawers out and contorting body into the cabinet)

Good luck!

In the greenhouse

I was going to say this too, my late GF borrowed my GM rolling pin as apparently it made perfect size hole in the soil to plant something or other

SBAM · 05/10/2022 12:45

I vote with the play dough or toy kitchen if you have young children. Put away in the wrong drawer if they’re older - with spatulas, or where you keep the scales/baking tins?
Or has it been dropped on the floor and rolled under the oven?
