“It looks like the second cutting board has grown legs. Any ideas?”

The first sentence uses a sarcastic metaphor that indicates the correct placement is known but the item is not to be found there

The second sentence expresses an interest in knowing what others can tell the speaker about this situation - maybe not quite discontent, but definitely interest in it being located

I agree, but also computers break differently. Using a computer is just like other everyday activities like driving a car, until something goes wrong

Imagine if you broke down, but you didn’t know if it was ‘the car’ (call a mechanic), or the road, or the traffic lights…
