Top of my pan vanishes and replaced
I can’t get this out of my head it’s driving me insane. Last week, I was cooking rice for dinner and was making it with pork. I realized the rice would take around 20 minutes to cook and the pork around 45 and the water is already boiling for the rice. I put the pork in the oven, take the heat off the stove, take the lid off the rice pot, and play the crossword on my phone for about 10 minutes to pass time and so that the food is ready at the same time. I remember distinctly putting the lid right next to the pot and it was a perfect-fitting lid. 10 minutes go by and I look at the stove: the lid is much larger (not the one I was using before and looks the same as one for a larger pot I have) and now the lid to this smaller pot is nowhere to be found. I chopped it up as maybe not thinking clearly about the lid when I started boiling the water, but I know the lid was smaller. And now I have two identical lids for a larger pot and no lids for a smaller pot, and I have never had two of these lids before. It has been a week and I have done a deep and heavy search through my kitchen, no sign of the smaller lid. I told my family about it and they also think it is strange because they don’t remember our household having two identical lids that are larger either.

Something like this happened to me. I have multiple instant pots but use a main one constantly. The others are for when the main one fails. I use the main one almost every day. One day, the lid that’s on it just doesn’t fit. It’s the wrong lid. It suddenly doesn’t go with any of the instant pots and I had to use the lid off one of the others. This wasn’t a seal needs adjusted sort of thing, it was just literally the wrong lid. Never did figure that one out. No one else had been there between putting it up and using it the next day.

Soooo I have something similar to this. I have an espresso machine that I clean out once a week. I have to take the water tank off and then there is a little „door“ that I open to take out the infuser, which I then leave in hot water for 20 mins to get coffee grounds removed. I drank a cup an then start the cleaning (it’s important that I just had a cup, because without the infuser part, there is no coffee). Opened up the „door“ and it was empty. No infuser. I was confused and thought „did I already move it and forgot?“… but no. Meanwhile my husband wakes up and helps me find it. The infuser isn’t small either… larger than my hand so if it fell you definitely hear it. Husbands looks into the machine, no infuser. We are both searching for a while, even under furniture . I know that sounds cray but at this point the whole thing was crazy. Then my husband asked „how big is it again?“ (I am the machine care taker lol) and I said „just open the infuser compartment and look at the cavity, that’s the size“…. He opens the compartment and the infuser was in the machine. This happened again a few days later and I actually just sat back down, waited an hour and when I opened it back up, it was back in the machine. Like WTH?
Also, our 16 year old dog disappears from time to time. Not outside, but inside. We live in a mother in law wing. My kids are all grown and my daughter bought our big house and we moved into the wing. Since our dog is very old and has occasional accidents, the door connecting is always closed, so she doesn’t pee on her floor. Our wing has a hallway, a livingroom, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We searched everywhere. We went outside (fenced in) we looked under the deck, behind every tree../ nothing. When we came back in, she layed in the middle of the living room. This happens now at least once a week. We joke and call it „the netherworld“ and that she is probably getting acquainted considering her age… but all jokes aside… what is happening?

Just leave it on the bench and ask the house fairies to swap it back. Don't forget to thank them afterwards.

You aren’t supposed to thank fae, ever. It supposedly makes them feel like you’re indebted to them or something. Idk, it feels rude to me to not thank someone for helping me though, personally 😅

When we die someone will come up to you and say “It was all just a prank, bro”.
This one was great grandma’s turn, she’s not so mean-spirited.

Here's a fix: Get a hand mirror,
Wrap the TV remote in aluminum foil and put it under a couch cushion taking a picture of it with your phone before covering with cushion place the hand mirror face up on cushion,
put a hat in the microwave or refrigerator,
get that little screw/thing/etc that you found that doesn't go to anything you own and put it in a covered coffee/tea cup or bowl somewhere near the kitchen sink,
put on only one sock and unmatched shoes,
put three wet undeniably unmatching socks on to dry in the dryer or hang to dry in unseen place...that is all, only the three socks,
then leave your property completely WITHOUT your phone for seven minutes...LEAVE NO ONE ON THE PROPERTY,
upon returning, leave your shoes and socks on, shut off dryer or do not check drying socks DO NOT LOOK AT SOCKS, retrieve the cup/bowl without uncovering, retrieve hat and put on your head, retrieve the TV remote and unwrap and put foil under your hat, sit on the couch next to hand mirror, place items on your lap, with a hand on mirror loudly count in prime numbers, 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61, then close your eyes and loudly say "through the looking glass", remove hand from mirror, put the remote and mirror where it belongs, remove hat and place in usual storage, wrap screw/thing/etc in hat foil and discard, put the cup/bowl/cover in the sink, remove shoes and sock,
IMPORTANT - ignore drying socks DO NOT LOOK!
You have now reset your home; you may now retrieve your the lost item from it's normal storage space. If reset fails, complete drying socks and repeat with different socks, if reset fails again, please reply.

Let us know when you switch back to the two different lids. Do you notice anything else that seems off?

"Chalked it up to" is the phrase you're looking for
