It took me so long to recognize. I hate the 'Do you lose your keys often' question.

I always used to answer 'No' because I know they're either next to the door where theyre supposed to be, in my current pocket or in yesterday's pants' pocket.

Or on my desk.

Or in my backpack.

Ok, maybe you have a point.

It's either EXACTLY WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE

or oh shit have you seen my _____??

And is the question really about ability to recall where they are or tendency to leave them in unusual places?

Like is it "normal" to be able to remember where any random object left in a random location is when it's needed? Or is it normal to leave objects in more sensible locations so they are easier to find when one can't recall directly where they were left?

This is a great question - I have like zero random recall, so everything just goes in it's place every time. But do "normal" people just have more RAM than me?
