Because it's SMALL
Wow George - You're so smart!!!! :roflmao:
I think it's because I take so many. I don't dump them all out of the pill case at once but it seems it's always that little one that falls out of my hand and goes somewhere.....
When you drop a pill why is it always the smallest one you take and then you spend forever looking for it?
Why can't I ever drop one of the big ones and when I look down it's right there in front of me?
I dropped one once when my son was 8 months old, and at the stage where he would crawl around and pick up every tiny speck he found on the floor and eat it. I had to sweep many times a day back then. It was a tegretol and I COULD NOT FIND IT. My ex and I looked for hours, and finally called poison control to see what would happen if he found and ate it, and they said we really had to find it. Eventually we did--it had rolled sideways into this tiny little slit next to the refrigerator!!
Murphy's Law!

I have a seven day pill box and I just pop my pills in my mouth and down when a sip of water.
I was going over a couch once my mother gave me and I found all kinds of pills in it from years past.
I do have a 7 day pill box but I take so many pills I'd need 6 of them, 3 for my am pills and 3 for my pm pills. If I put too many pills in my mouth at once I gag on them and spit them out, which I have done.
I have dropped one of the biggest pink pills I take before too and spent a good bit of time looking for it.
I normally take my pills in the living room where the carpet is, not the hard floor. My theory is that if it falls it won't roll far because of the carpet. Doesn't always work though.
I wonder how many pills I'd find under my couch too if I moved it?
