    I have just opened my kitchen cutlery drawer and have found masses of guitar picks and dozens of non matched socks - many with holes in them. If anybody wants to claim them PM me...

    I simply swallow mine when I finish playing and keep a fine sieve and a pestle to hand when defecating.
    Also seems to fix the “ can I borrow your plectrum “ question.

    I change my electric guitar picks about 3 times a month so they go in the bin once they're done. I play too aggressively and hard lol. And ought to have shares in picks.

    That's genius, if not somewhat disgusting :g

    Tumbledryer filter. Guaranteed one or two....
    Or the door gasket of the washing machine.

    I just did a restring and setup on a nice Martin acoustic that rattled internally.  I was expecting to find loose plectrums, but alas, only fingernails.

    Mrs Equalsql thinks she’s living in Groundhog Day as the bit plastic she threw out yesterday has reappeared in the same spot and everyday it goes in the bin.

    Hardly ever lose any, although I don't play out..

    When I finish with them I just leave them on the table in my music room.

    If you always keep picks in the same place and replace when finished you won't lose any. 
    Yeah, I haven't bought any plecs in years.

    In fact I can't remember the last time I actually paid for them, most of them came free with other things. 

    I like having a wee collection of different types rather than using the same kind for everything.

    Plectrum from the rectum?

    Might be a bit painful with textured picks and downright dangerous with metal ones.

    A good solution would be to attach Tile or AirTag trackers to all your picks. It would be a bit pricy and make them impossible to use, but you wouldn’t lose them.

    I found one this morning, on a pavement outside the headquarters of a bank. It is a grey 0.60 Dunlop Max Grip. In case anyone was walking that way and lost one, I will keep it for a week before taking it to the police station.

    "Plectrum From The Rectum" would be an awesome band name. :)

    They're under the cushion on your sofa. Specifically, the cushion that's farthest from the spot you normally sit on.

    Even if you don't have a sofa, that's where they are. Seriously. Those little fuckers migrate.

    Careful, I believe by law you have to hand in lost property immediately. KDH has already started an investigation into your activities.

    Picks have managed to navigate the space-time fabric.

    They are exactly where you left them, but not in the same time line. Which is why you can drop one, search and not find it but you can come back two days later and it will be exactly where you thought it would be.

    You've been going about your normal business but your pick has been running with dinosaurs and cavorting with Napoleon.
