Rechargable batteries
Manuals (though only when they are needed desperately / urgently)

Couldn't agree much more. Socks, remote control, screwdrivers and tools. Oh yeah, pens and such. I write one or two words, go get me a coffee or something and the damn thing is gone...

HALT! HAMMERZEIT!

Where do the damn things go?

It seems like every month I buy a packet of 40 dissposable pens, I mean if they were falling on the floor I should be knee deep in them by now.

I think someone stumbled upon the key to the environmentally friendly society years ago and simply did not tell anyone - seems Bic invented the air-bio-degradable pen and didn't see the potential uses of his discovery...

CDs / DVDs but only if they're part of something that requires more than one. It's always the first one that disappears too. Alternatively if I have a song stuck in my head, it's guaranteed that the album it's on is missing.

All my tax papers right around the time I need them.

Razorblades, especially when I need to shave badly. Only the el-cheapo disposable ones that equal smashing your face through glass seem to be where I left them. (I suspect goth gnomes)

All my cool T-shirts. The missus suddenly has all kinds of cool shirts just like mine and I end up having to wear the ****ty ones.

Screws / bolts whenever I take something apart. I make a point of putting them all in the same place, yet whenever I put the thing back together there's always one screw / bolt missing.

All the screwdrivers that fit in a particular thing I'm trying to unscrew.

Pens as well, but only if I'm on the phone and need to write something down.

My cat, whenever he needs to go to a vet or take medicine.

My passport, whenever I'm on my way out the door to travel somewhere.

USB sticks.

My cell phone, when it's ringing in the middle of the night. You can hear it, but you can't find it.

My cell phone charger, even though I never unplug it.

Bunch of other things too, I'm sure.

Comco: i entered it manually in the back end

The worst thing that happens with the CD's is that when you finally find it after searching, for what seems like forever, you give out a cheer and open the box only to discover that the the disc isn't in there! happens to me all the bloody time!

Same with DVDs, you open the box up to watch a film, only to find that its empty, and presumably the DVD is doing double duty in one of the other boxes of the hundreds of films you own, meaning you have to search every one, or just hope it turns up randomly when you watch a different film.
