a few years back, doing my job as a courier, I was sat in my van, stopped outside my delivery address, when I looked in my item box, and I noticed there wasn't a pen there. puzzled, as I know I'd just used one at my last delivery, i thought it must have dropped down behind the seat or something.

Couldn't find it, but anyway, there MUST be a pen somewhere in the car, I thought, given the nature of my job, using pens all the time, so I searched the car high and low for a pen. No way, nothing at all there. i couldn't believe it, and after about 15 minutes of searching, and LOADS of cursing, I gave up, did the delivery and asked the customer if I could 'borrow' a pen off her, which she kindly did, even though she knew she'd never see it again.

Got back to the car, sat in the driver's seat, looked on the passenger seat, and in the item box, half a dozen pens.

I sat there, in stunned silence for about a minute, slowly said 'ooooo kkkkk' to myself, started the engine and drove to my next delivery, wondering wtf just happened.
