The last place I looked for it

Today someone told me that they'd found something in "the last place that they looked for it".  Imagine my surprise!  "Really?"  I responded.  "And you chose to stop looking just then?  At that very moment when you'd found it??  Amazing!"  Of course it didn't help that this was someone who was already on my nerves...  I'm not always that snarky.  But people can really try your patience. 

Here is my advice:  If you're looking for something and you find it then you should stop.  If you find it then keep looking, you are an idiot.  You're welcome.
