..."it's always in the last place you look"?
Isn't that kind of dumb...if it wasn't the last place you looked, then you wouldn't have found it yet. Or...why would you keep looking after your found it?

By the way...I had no clue that this was a comedy routine, but thank you for so rudely accusing me of "stealing" it

I hate it when they say, "Where's the last place you left it?" It's even worse when they say that with a serious face.

Yes, I agree. Once something is found, no one is going to keep looking for it. So the place where it is found is always going to be the last place that they looked.

I know, it's so silly...
I think people started saying it just because a lot of times it feels like when you've lost something that you look EVERYWHERE before you find it. And it seems like you have exhausted every possible place it could be, and BAM, you find it.
But yeah, it still doesn't make sense!

It means it will be in the very last place that occurs to you. People say this because they have a need to fill every silence with a remark. I guess they are also expressing sympathy.

When you lose something you plan on looking in certain spots...the last place you look out of those spots is usually where the lost item is at.

Because after you find it in the last place you looked then you don't look anymore. But that's obvious so they don't need to say that.

People always tell me "it is in the last place you would expect it to be." Makes sense, I am still trying to figure out how I felt my car keys in the freezer.

I usually find them in the place it should be in. So look again.
I guess it will be the last place you'd expect it to be in.
Sayings just become sayings.

Because its usually the truth, sayings come from experiences and its happend enough for people to make a saying out of it.

My husband always asks "where was the last place you remember seeing them". I hate that.
