Vent: that weird deja vu loop with my friend's apartment key took almost a full year to figure out

Oh man, that's the worst kind of puzzle. It's like your brain gets stuck on a tiny, real-world glitch. You'll be making a sandwich and suddenly wonder if you ever actually mailed that key back, then you spend twenty minutes tearing apart your junk drawer. It just sits there in the back of your mind, popping up at random times, because the answer feels so close but just out of reach. Finally figuring it out must have been such a relief.

My old apartment had a door that stuck unless you lifted the handle just right. For months I thought it was broken, then one day I noticed a tiny worn spot on the floor. The relief was huge, like solving a mystery I didn't know I was in.
