the last place

A phrase I cannot stand is "It's always in the last place you look." Well, sure it is. If it weren't, you would keep looking. You may as well say, "It's never in the dozens of places you looked before the last place where you actually found whatever it was you were looking for."
I am thinking about this because today I was searching for my social security card. But for a change, I did what you are supposed to do, and started looking in the most unlikely spots. And there it was, in the folder with all of the vet information for my dead cat.
What this says about my filing system I dare not examine.
