Took me 3 days to find a wire nut that was hidden inside a wall cavity

I was finishing a rough-in for a buddy's basement outside Columbus and the light switch just wouldnt work no matter what. After 4 hours of testing I finally cut a bigger hole in the drywall and spotted the little orange wire nut sitting in the stud bay. It had fallen off the splice when I pushed the box in and rolled right down into the gap. Has anyone else lost a connection inside a wall like that, or am I the only one dumb enough to not tape the joints first?

Yeah but at least the wire nut found a nice cozy home for itself. Mine usually roll into the exact spot where I can't reach them even with a magnet.
