For those who missed my jeans glitch, here’s a summary of the original post: I ordered 2 pair of jeans. Jeans1 disappears after several wearings. I take jeans2 out of box (where is packing slip?) and set empty box aside. Weeks later, jeans3 appears in empty box (still no packing slip). I take out jeans3 and set empty box aside again.
------- Since then:
Jeans1 has never reappeared. Jeans2 and jeans3 are in my regular pants rotation (I have them labelled, as a commenter suggested on my last post).
After my last post, I told a visiting friend about the jeans glitch. I ran to get the empty box to show her, cuz that would prove . . . something?
I pull down the “empty” box, lo and behold it now contains a pair of dress slacks and a packing slip saying I ordered 2 jeans and some dress slacks.
WHAT?!
So now I remember that yes I did order dress slacks with the jeans. BUT WHERE WERE THEY AND THE PACKING SLIP WHEN THE BOX WAS TWICE EMPTY?
I plan to use the box to ship some donations to a museum. But what if it arrives there empty? Or full of random pants instead of my donations?

We now proceed from trousers to pillow cases.
I have 2 sets of sheets, one all yellow and one all blue.
One day I change my bedding, throwing the soiled blue sheets on the floor and putting the clean yellow set on the bed.
Pick up blue sheets to take to laundry room. Oops, dropped the pillow cases. Carefully pick up blue pillowcases and tuck them securely in the blue sheets. Load washing machine but don’t see blue pillowcases. Eh they must be still tangled in the sheets. Nope. When I remove sheets to dry, there are only blue sheets, no matching pillow cases.
I searched my house for those damn blue pillow cases for 2 weeks.
Finally I decide to change my bedding again. Yellow set goes in the washer. I put blue sheets on bed and scrounged up some ratty old white pillow cases to sub for the missing blue ones.
Hours later, I notice 2 clean and folded yellow pillow cases next to my bed. Uh . . . the only yellow pillow cases I own are the ones I just put in the washer with their matching sheets?
So I go empty the washer and find yellow sheets with BLUE pillow cases.
WHAT THE FRICK IS SWAPPING MY PILLOW CASES AROUND? Where were the blue ones for 2 weeks? How did the yellow ones appear dry and folded when they should have still been in the washer?
What the pants is going on around here?
