When looking for a item, why is it that we can be holding said item and not know it’s there?

The other day I was holding a sharpie marker in my hand that I was using to hold myself up on a counter and couldn’t for the life of me find it until it was pointed at by a coworker. I have also seen others and myself not see a food item (such as ketchup or salt) on a table when it’s in plain sight.

The second one, not seeing objects in front of you, might have to do with image processing, which I don’t know much about. If it’s for a few seconds then maybe it’s just in your blind spot though, haha.
