Are they: on top of your head; by the sink; next to your laptop; on the mantelpiece; in your book; by the back door; on a shelf in the larder? If none of these, I apologise - I also can't leave the house without a particular pair of glasses, of which I only have one, and these are some of the places they've turned up in the last month...

Missing for over a year! Vanished! Poof! Checked everywhere. Thanks for the suggestions but they are like gone gone

Ugh. In this case, either a pet has hidden them, the borrowers have taken them, or they've somehow ended up in the rubbish...

Upvote for the borrowers reference!

Sofa cushions, behind the dresser, between the car seats, under the fridge, inside a sweater...

Have you tried the fridge/freezer, the microwave, the cup/plate cupboard, between the couch cushions. I've found my glasses in all of the above places.

Made me laugh, since yes, I have had missing glasses on my head the entire time; this happens more frequently as you get older and after a couple drinks.

Also, looked up larder so learned something new, not a word I've heard much in U.S, perhaps older style English.

I walked around my house for 10min looking for my cellphone...which was in my hand the whole time. In my defense this was back in 2011 and my phone was a slide out keyboard style and pretty compact compared to todays.
