I admit I am unreasonably annoyed at DH when he does stuff like this. Mainly because when he retired he would call me AT WORK and interrupt me to ask me where random things were around the house. He once called and asked where the bacon was. Not "do we have any bacon?", but WHERE is it? I told him, "Let me look... well, it's not on my desk so it's a good thing you have all day to look for it!". Seriously, yes, we have 2 freezers but I'm pretty sure it didn't burrow itself under the bushels of green chile in the garage freezer, so that narrows it down a bit. (This is a major pet peeve for me because he did it excessively in the beginning so I may have told this story before.)

My ex once called me at work and had one of his typical tantrums about the model of underwear that he always wore not fitting him anymore in a certain area. It didn't " feel right ! " I had bought ten or more packages on sale, and he had opened every one, tried each pair of underwear on, was dissatisfied, and had strewn our bedroom with the contents and packaging in his anger. ( I refused to pick it up when I saw what he had done when I got home from work. )
My response was, " What do you expect me to do about it while I'm at work ? " My coworker girlfriend asked me if he was nuts, and I said, " Yes. " We were divorced not soon after.

For many years I have had designated places to hang car keys. Still do today. However, with these new key fobs that only need to be in a handbag or a pocket, I'm having a devil of a time remembering to hang the keys where they belong. They belong just inside the door from the garage into the back hallway. More than once DH says....gee, there is a set of keys missing (he counts the darn things). Without fail, it's usually in my handbag.
However for anything else, DH couldn't find it if it was actually in his hand. We have a designated place for remotes, outgoing mail etc. but then he doesn't put the remote back where he found it. As for the fridge, the only thing he can find is the door handle, items inside are invisible and can only be seen with my eyes.

Ok ladies, I can top your stories.....I was in the hospital the day after having major surgery. DH finally left the hospital room and I was getting some necessary peace and quite. About an hour later, the room phone rings...I was in a private room so figured it had to be for me. Dh called to tell me he had locked the keys in the car. I remember asking him what he thought I could possibly do about that, and then I hung up. Never did find out what he did, and frankly, I didn't care.

Sometimes men can just leave you speechless, can't they? I know if I told him that story now he'd never believe it.
In his defense however, neither of us were exactly operating on all cylinders at that point. 20 years ago a diagnosis and prognosis of stage II breast cancer was likely a death sentence. Ha, I proved those stats wrong!
