I just put it back in the box when I'm done
I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday

I have two, and I know exactly where they are. If GPS were more accurate, I could give you the GPS coordinates for each of them.
or a hoarder
Yes, I keep them in the box.
not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is
I usually flip it to justify excessive organization: “if you can’t find it when you need it, you don’t actually own it.”
wise words
I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.
Laughs in paper clip
Finding the one that is small enough to pull off the job has been a pain. Recently switched to a new phone... And I struggled until I found
Just. The. Perfect. Paperclip.
And then I immediately dropped it between the center console and seat of my car.
I'll find it eventually. One day.

One in my wallet at all times.
I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?
I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.
I have some smart devices that came with these so I appear very responsible.
it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!
I can confirm that this is false
false ; I bought a 50 pack
No, I have OCD and everything has its spot
on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol
You sound fun.

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though
I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.
I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.
It's good to finally get some recognition!
Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!
You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.
So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?
What do you mean you don't take out the sd card every so often so you can quickly transfer 48GB of cat videos to your computer?
I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.
Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.
Inside my phone case. Only makes sense to keep it with the phone.
I have mine under my phone cover. Got sick of losing them all the time when I needed one. Since I put it under the cover, I've only needed it about two times. (Under my cover for over a year).
Wait aren't those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?
I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."
So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.
I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.
I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they're also a good shiv or shank.
More than one actually. I keep one stabbed into my computer desk most of the time
