I don't even need to look for it. Because I know that the first time I step onto that carpet in bare feet, it'll end up embedded in my foot. It's the perfect solution! Saves tons of time. (Try this one hack that carpet companies don't want you to see!)

When I stepped on it my phone broke

Took me a minute 💀

I wouldn’t have gotten it if I didn’t read your comment

This is a severely underrated comment. ♥️

😂😂😂

Ok. I'm a bit slow today. This was actually very funny.

I am just not getting this right now 

In this joke >!he stepped on the picture of the carpet instead of the actual carpet.!<

Thanks, I'm dense and not good with all types of riddles.

I like to consider myself decent with riddles. I've been demoted to relatively decent.

Step on some rice

Heat your oven to 200°F and then step on it.

Easier solution just run your hand over it very fast and it'll end up in your eye.

I rub my hand over the carpet looking for a bead, and a stray piece of quartz crystal or possibly driveway salt landed square my tear duct... It's been a few months and MOST of it has come out..

Salt woulda burned like a mutha.... assuming it was a rock, or maybe a crumb of breead from 1986 lol 🙏🏼

My friend. You need freaking laser surgery to get that out, why have you just left it there? Edit: Major exaggeration

No, no, no… you’re doing it wrong!🤦🏻 …🤔you get your spouse to walk there first. Worst case scenario, you blame it on the store where you bought it.

Unless she recognizes the screw

Then you're screwed.

CARPET COMPANIES HATE HIM

Magnet preferably on the end of a stick, to cover bigger areas quickly… Worked in IT back in the day…dropping insanely small computer screws…

Ya know... you ruin all the fun! Lol. I would say "well it isn't like you're going to be not wearing shoes in a computer lab", except I went to Japan for a customer one time, and they literally just wore socks in their networking lab. (Where literally a dozen guys were standing around silently watching one guy work on the computer -- it was the weirdest thing) (I'm a software engineer who worked for 20 years for various network appliance companies before moving to biotech)

I was going to comment the same thing. If their eyes don’t find it, their feet will.

That's how I used to find missing thumbtacks! All the fucking time.

As someone who's stepped on a nail, I can prove it works! You'll find that nail alright, at the cost of a little blood. And the ability to walk for a few days.

It's like a surprise massage every time you walk!

Well played. 😆

This is the solution. Just invite this guy over and he’ll find it for you

Oh he tiny.

"what is this a screw for ants?!"

Putting in a request for the screw to be at least………. 3x bigger than this.

For ant’s glasses.

I'm sure he got a good personality

Right?? I was fully ready to give up and comment “well I hope you find it because I sure can’t” when I caught the tiniest little boi out of the corner of my eye

I find posts like this to be the dumbest ones on this sub. It’s not hidden because it blends in well or is tricky — it’s hidden because it’s half the size of a grain of rice. You could drop in on a sheet of white paper and have a hard time telling it apart from other flecks of dust. Boring.

THANK YOU!!!! These are so annoying. And it isn’t a cool optical illusion, it’s just a small thing is on a bigger thing and hard to find. Then I have to scroll through a hundred lame comments to get to “it’s near the bottom on the right side.”

And then the cameras generally aren't good enough to get the small details so the object people are trying to find is usually some blurred object that could or couldn't be the Waldo in the picture.

About 2/5 of the way down the pic, two and a half tufts from the right most edge.

Jesus. No way I would have spotted it.

Zoomed in as much as I could on phone and started slowly scrolling. It appeared pretty quickly. Almost invisible without zooming in.

I did the same and still wasn't sure it was the screw. Looked at the rest of the area anyway. This was a good one

Yeah I still can't find it, can I have an obnoxious red circle and large red arrow?

https://www.reddit.com/u/Sea-Calligrapher1563/s/5x8yfTtIor

I got lucky this time. I normally suck at these.

Likewise

Samesies

Same. I was about to say there’s no screw in this photo 🥲

If only I knew what 2/5ths mean

Mind highlighting it and circling it and giving the latitude and longitude coordinates please I still don’t fucking see it

https://imgur.com/a/asEaD0f

OP is this a trick? Because what I believed to be the screw is not in that spot.

It's gold, and very short. Like 1/4 inch: [https://imgur.com/kcurBSv](https://imgur.com/kcurBSv)

Far right, in the middle upper section.. very tiny

that’s so subtle you really got a good eye. to me that thing don’t even look gold

I can only credit years and years of hunting in Where’s Waldo Books, and an abundance of free time.

Let me throw something at you: where's Waldo audiobook.

I’m in! That’s a good way to help my ears see better! As long as I can rewind frequently.

Ah! Thank you!

This was a tuft one

🥁🥁🐍

I was just about to say screw it. Thanks!

I thought that would be it but wasn't too sure. Looked around a bit more but couldn't find anything else. It blends in so well.

It blended in SO well! I did the same as you, then I couldn’t find the screw again for a long time.

Is that to your right or my left? Regardless, dead nut center there is off either side not 1 but duce screws on the rug my amiago. Psh. Rookies.

Hoe Lee Chet. You’re right! And that screw is WAY tinier than the one I called out! Folks, you gotta see this.

From the bottom right corner, go 9 tufts up and 11 to the left. There’s something else that looks like a screw. Seems to be two!

Okay, I see that too. We’re gonna need OP to chime in here. There’s talk of at least four screws on this bathmat. What the hell is OP doing in the bathroom?!

Screwing around

Screwing with us you mean.

Great description! Found it immediately, thank you :)

NASA would like you to look at some photos to see if you can spot any, uh, "gold screws" in an earth collision orbit.

that was a wayyyyyy smaller screw than I was expecting

I think there might be another, it’s about dead center of the mat lying on a tuft. There’s a vertical shadowy area, about halfway down is the one I see

Dayum. Thx. A good one!!

Good eyes

I think I see a toe nail close to the top right!

Cheeky fuckin screw

Bro, that’s not even fair

Found it right away thanks to your guidance!

It’s been stepped on. Using your feet does work better. Can’t believe i passed it twice.

Jeez, OP didn't say it was the world's smallest screw

OMG! What a FIND!

I’m smart enough to locate this pic and do math for a living, but I absolutely hate it in practice.

I want you on my team in ww3 lol we be smoking mother fuggers lol

Wow!!

My toxic trait is thinking I’ll commit to looking for these things, then after 12.7 second of looking ill come to the comments because I’ve convinced myself it’s a hoax and OP is a liar. Only to discover I’m a failure, again.

I’ve never related to something more in my entire life.

to be fair its like super duper small. I dont think OP needed to zoom out so far

I found a blonde strand of hair but not a screw 😭 these impossible mode snipers are *killingg* me!

I usually can't find anything in this sub but this was finally a victory.

I just found it, now I’m hyped 😭

Lol the time of your original comment and then this one.. I’d like to think you were looking for it for 5 whole hours

Looks like it’s time to vacuum 😂

To me the screw looked more silver but that could be lighting mixed with the carpet

From top right: 23 puffs down, 3 puffs to the left.

Is that an officially recognized unit of measure?

It is in this case.

I already found it, I just wanted to look throughout the comments for the puff measurements, because if no one could find it I would count puffs in the style of Hagrid at Diagon Alley.

Standard IKEA Bathmat Units

Appeciate u😂💪

For me the x shows through the spoiler tag

I had to uncover all of them individually

Same! I can not see the tick mark but it's the only square that is black.

Amazing

Ahhh I found it but yes dang it that was teeny tiny … 🥹

[Did I find a second screw](https://imgur.com/ZFiVN8W), or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Then I think I’ve found a third lol up 10 puffs and 12 puffs across from the bottom right of the photo

I download the pic and am able to zoom in pretty close with the image viewer. Sorry, but this one doesn't look like a screw. It's just some lined up strands.

Wow that was hard. Shoutout to everyone on this page that puts spoilers!

3 rows of fuzzies in from the right side. Between 2 and 3 o clock.

are you screwing with me?

Anyone else always expect to find the stuff, like “oh this will be easy”, but you pretty much never do?

I'm pulling out a magnet 🧲

It’s always in the last place I look.

I have the same rug! Screw is —> way

About 25 rows (tufts)down from top 2.5 3ish rows (tufts) in from right

🎯

I feel like gold and brass are much easier to find in person. When the light hits it just right it shines like a diamond... though diamonds on the other hand are surprisingly difficult to find

Just step on the rug a few times problem solved

Didnt find the screw but somehow found a toenail clipping

About 22 down 3-4 from the right

I’m not seeing it yet either 🤷🏼‍♀️

I caught that gold!

Right side, middle up

Hiding in the shadows. Good one 👍

I CANNOT believe I found this one in less than a minute. It probably only took me 5 seconds. Any other picture, and I have to go to the comments.

Found it. That's a small one indeed. If this ever happens again, you can use something magnetic to move over the carpet. The screw will be drawn right to it once you get close enough, and no-one gets hurt.

Above 3 o’clock

Only here to say we have this exact bathmat

🚫🚫🚫🚫. 🚫🚫🚫🏅. 🚫🚫🚫🚫. 🚫🚫🚫🚫. 🚫🚫🚫🚫

this is a first one that I found without help! Haha can I call myself a sniper now?

Hire a crackhead. They will find it.

OMG I can't believe I found it, I was literally giving up at the end of my second look. Nice post!!

Good ol’ IKEA bathmat 😗

Good thing it's a rug you can just pick up and shake out the screw.

🟥🟥🟥 🟥🟥🟩 🟥🟥🟥 🟥🟥🟥

3 row in front the right and like 26 down you will find it there

Finally a good one that’s not just right in the middle! 🙏🏻

No you didn't. Lol that's good.

got this one immediately w the zoom and scroll method😎😎

I'm so happy with the slew of pics lately that DO NOT have the answer right in the middle of the frame!

Good ole Ikea bath mat

It’s by the big tree that the bear is climbing. Better wait till he’s gone before you get your screw.

I set a personal record with finding this one! Thanks for posting!

This was one of my favorites. So good.

How many of you post because you cant find it either, so you ask the internet? 🤣🥰

IKEA mat? If so, of course there’s a loose screw.

I drop and have to find tiny screws a lot lol this one wasn’t too bad

Between row 3 and 4, 24 down, starting from the top right corner.

Oh…there it is…F@€K ¥0u

I have tge same bath mat! Ikea?

This was a good’n, OP. Well done.

A high-res photo of this would make an amazing 3000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

HAHA! I finally found it without looking at the commen-wait no. That’s not it.

I swear I thought I saw one in the middle. Looks like a screw from glasses.

That was a good one, Bob!

smol boiiiii

Zoom in as far as possible and start from the top right scrolling downwards but staying as close to the right as possible as well. You’ll end up where you need to be but it’s tiny so go slow

It’s on 7.5 X, 9.5Y

I’ve come to find that this sub Reddit is the adult version of where’s Waldo

Found it >!In the top right theres a big crease. Just left of it theres this very mildly defined space in the folds thats triangular like a video play button right? Slightly upper left of the middle of that triangle there’s a little screw between the carpet loops!< Edit: wait are there 2 screws? It looks so much like a screw, circular top and ridges and everything. Clearly thats not the gold screw others found 😳

Dunno but if my wife walks in there barefoot she will find it in her foot in .2 seconds lol

I'm still tryna find the bathroom in the carpet!

Shake out the carpet… Edit: didn’t realize what sub I was at

It’s itty bitty

Y’all gotta stop dropping shit

I swear I see a second screw. Top of picture go from the middle about 3-4 puffs and then go down 4-5 to see a screw head.

no you didn’t

Turn the carpet left. It'll come loosey

>!❌❌❌!< >!❌❌✔!< >!❌❌❌!< >!❌❌❌!< >!❌❌❌!<

Y'all ever get the feeling people are using us to find the stuff they drop? Like they lose a screw and just quickly take a pic about where they think it is and expect us to save them an evening of crawling across the floor like Velma around the feet of a rich man in a mask.

Just pick up that mat and shake it out

The gold ain't golding 😭

I found it, but if this happened to me I would just pick the bathroom mat up and the screw would fall down. It would clink on the hard floor and then roll away, hitting a solid object. I would hopefully see it then

Start Top Right: 23down/3across. Thanks for the puzzle

You didn’t say it was an eyeglasses screw.

What a screwed situation!

that is INSANELY tiny.

Found ut

23 rows down and 3 in from the right

your foot will find it

I can’t find it, I guess I’m screwed :P

I feel like people are missing the point of this sub. It’s supposed to be about well camouflaged things being difficult to spot. Even a poorly camouflaged object can be hard to spot if you just take the picture from farther away and make the object so small it’s impossible to see without zooming all the way in.

Found it

Please tell me that’s a rug and that your bathroom is not carpeted…

Unfortunately, you’re never gonna find it because it has dispersed into micro particles amongst the fiber of the carpet. Good luck hunting.

https://ibb.co/6DKcWth Idk if you needed a visual, but here it is.

I found it, took me about 30 seconds, maybe

They don’t make screws out of gold.

2” down from upper right

Soak in mercury light with blow torch, quicksilver and gold screw. Sounds like drinks to me.

This wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t screwing around!

The more i zoomed in the more I started getting flashbacks from Vietnam.

Subscribing to this sub; I’m getting pretty good at these actually…

I’ll send my ex-girlfriend. That girl could dig for gold better than any gold prospector. Guaranteed to find it but you’ll never ever see it again.

Plot twist, OP doesn't know where he is, and this was his last ditch to find it to post in on this sub

Pick up the rug and shake it
