Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If someone loses an object, it will always be found in the last place they look. Fridge Logic maintains that this is because once they find it, they aren't looking for it any more, thus it's always in the last place they look. What they really mean is that it's the last place they would look. The main example of this is when a character loses their glasses. They will always, inevitably, have them on their head. Works with keys, books, and pretty much anything you can hold in your hand. May frequently involve being Hidden in Plain Sight. The character may also have Failed a Spot Check. As many folks can attest, this is Truth in Television. |

Played with in the Looney Tunes short "I Gopher You", in which the Goofy Gophers go to a canning factory and one gets trapped in a can. The other gopher opens every can until he finds his cohort, who then corrects him; he was actually in the first can, and his friend simply started at the wrong end. | |

Xiaolin Showdown: In "Saving Omi", Raimundo suggests finding the Yang Yo-Yo in the last place they would think of, but Clay suggests second to last place and says that not even Dojo would hide it in the last place. It turns out it was in Dojo's ear all along. In another episode the Shen Gong Wu were secretly shrunken and hidden in Dojo's nose and replaced with fakes without his knowledge. In another episode, Omi's future self takes the Sands of Time to the future to hide it where no one will find it. When someone else speculates on where he is going to hide it, present Omi says "I know where I would. I am most impressed with myself. I never would have thought to look there." | |

The West Wing: in the first season episode, "A Proportional Response", one of the things that has been irritating President Bartlett is he can't find his glasses, and his secretaries have looked all over. Right before he addresses the nation about the fact he directed an attack against Libya, C.J. asks him if he's been briefed about an aspect of that attack, and he snaps he read the briefing the night before in his private study. Charlie Young, who's being hired to be his personal aide, immediately realizes that's where the president left his glasses, and Mrs. Landingham, his head secretary, directs someone to get them. | |

Fawlty Towers. The problem is further exacerbated because the woman is hard of hearing, and doesn't have her hearing aid turned on "because it runs the batteries down." Basil tries to convince her to turn it on, but she can't hear him, so he tries to write down the words "turn it on," but then remembers that she can't read without her reading glasses, which, as per the trope, are on her head. | |

Bernard in Black Books is about to go on holiday, naturally he doesn't remember where he put his passport other than "It's in the house!". He put it somewhere safe so he spends 5 hours putting everything off the walls before walking over to his desk and saying I remember i put it over here but no, I can't find it. Cue "Did you check your desk Bernard?, Yes of cour-oh here it is." | |

In one chapter of Sgt. Frog, Momoka falls out of a tree and lands on Chiruyo while both are trying to take pictures of Fuyuki. Chiruyo loses her glasses, and fruitlessly looks for them, apparently unaware that she's still wearing them and they've just been pushed up onto her forehead. | |
