Dental floss is not expensive. Why not buy many rolls? I have one in my work drawer, one on my desk at home and one in the bathroom.
I wish I could say this was motivated by clever psychological foresight. In fact, I routinely buy duplicates of consumables like dental floss, deodorant, sticking plasters, painkillers, etc., because I forget where I put the ones I already have. It actually works out quite well.
I finally just bought enough scissors so that all the places scissors go were filled up. At that point, at least one pair of scissors has nowhere to hide.
I only ever floss at home, in the morning after breakfast (if I eat breakfast) or after finishing my coffee and at night after dinner, so I don't feel like I need them scattered everywhere. If I put them all at home, they're taking up space and I'm not actively using them, so I feel like having 2 is enough at this point. I suppose I'm also less forgetful than you are: my dental floss has exactly one "home" so I always know where it is.
