Minor things that bother you

I'm almost certain I've been on a transatlantic flight with 3-5-3 seating, but that would have been back in the mid- to late-1990s.

It's never been flown before, despite being possible on an A380.

My favorite ever was United's 777-200 with a 2-5-2 configuration -- ideal configuration to fly with a significant other.

It was possibly a 2-5-2 configuration.  I've sat in both the edge section and the middle section, so I probably assumed during the flight in which I was in the 5-section that the edge sections were what I remembered from sitting in them on a previous flight.  All that is to say, I must have been on both 3-4-3 and 2-5-2 planes and conflated them.

I've flown in a 2-5-2 on a United 777 (ORD-HNL back in 2006). It was less ideal for a family of three.

I know I've flown in the side section as a family of three (must have been 3-4-3 configuration), and I know I've flown in the middle section as part of a very large group (must have been 2-5-2 configuration), but I don't remember for sure if I've flown in the middle section as a family of three.  I've never flown in any plane with fewer than three seats in a section except with fewer than three people, so I've never had to have the group split up by an aisle.

I just spent almost a week looking for some noise-cancelling headsets that I got back in April, 2022. I last used them last Wednesday listening to some audiobooks while getting a car repaired, and had thought that I put them in my laptop backpack. Finally, I gave up and ordered a newer and better headset yesterday. Lo and behold, I found my headset, but they were packed in the front pocket instead of a top pocket. I must have packed very quickly as I know I camped out at a nearby restaurant while repairs were being performed. And, the new headsets? Once they are received, they are being returned to Amazon.

At least they were "cheap" ($56 headset) when they were purchased, so losing them would not sting as much as a set of extremely expensive headset. And, yes, Bluetooth headsets and earbuds can get very expensive. Ask anyone who owns Apple earbuds.

168 hours is a long time to look for headphones.

I thought that maybe they were at a place that I take my mother to for regular physical therapy appointments, but nope. That's when I waived the white flag and ordered new ones, only to find the old ones.

And, yes, my mother is one of those people who will give you grief about losing anything, even though she now misplaces stuff.
