For example, when you know you already own an item, like a cooking utensil or tool, but you can't find it. So after a while you give it up for lost, buy a new one, and then the old one chooses to pop back into existence shortly after you buy the replacement.
A few days ago I was looking for my pair of "cut level 5" gloves, which I wear when sharpening things like kitchen knives, utility blades, mower blades, things of that sort. (I think you can guess why I take that precaution.) I'd washed them, then put them "somewhere" to dry where they'd be easy to find. Or so I thought. Couldn't find them to save my life.
So I ordered two new pair from Home Depot. Sure enough, on the day they arrived on the front porch, I found the old pair right where I'd left them hanging on the handle to the fertilizer spreader.
Okay, it's only $37 & some change, but it is irritating.
