Today, I was taking a bus ride home, listening to some music. The music stopped and I assumed my iPod's battery had run out. Turns out someone managed to steal it, leaving my earphones in. I didn't feel a thing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I left my headphones on the bus and didn't realize until I got home. I used the tracking app and saw they were moving around the city. I followed the location for half an hour before realizing the signal was coming from my own neighborhood because the headphones had been sitting in my backpack the entire time. FML
Today, I was walking home, when I realized I didn't have my phone on me. After retracing my steps, I realized that I'd been listening to music from my phone the entire time. FML
Today, I was listening to my music on my phone through my Bluetooth wireless headphones. While listening, I turned my music and the power on my headphones off for a bit. I thought I'd lost them when I got home. They were so loosely fit over my ears that I felt like an idiot when I realized they were still on my head. FML
Today, I was on a crowded el train listening to my iPod touch. As I stepped off the train, my headphones got caught on a man's jacket and my iPod fell on the floor. The doors shut. I then watched the train pull away. With my iPod on it. FML
Today, I was on a bus and a man was feeling up my butt. I was just about to step on his foot when the bus stopped and he slipped out. Only then did I realize he'd stolen my wallet. FML
Today, while I was taking a break at work, someone stole my iPod from my desk. I work in a police station. FML
Today, I fell asleep listening to my music and tanning at the beach. Not only did I wake up with a sunburn, but my iPhone had been stolen. FML
Today, after a long workout I come back to my locker, to find my lock had been cut. I looked inside realizing my phone and iPod had been stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, my keys were gone. I ran out to the parking lot to find an empty spot where my car had once been parked. FML
Today, I had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, I helped two people find the central station on my way home. As a thank you, they mugged me and stole my wallet and iPod Touch. FML

I'm imagining OP's iPod is playing, "You've been hit by, you've been struck by-" Thief unplugs the iPod, snatches it and sings "A smooth criminal." The thief then proceeds to moonwalk off the bus with the rest of the occupants performing choreographed dance.

71- because you can't lose your iPod while listening to it without noticing. When it falls out of your pocket it will most likely rip the headphones out of your ears, and if not, you'll still feel the pull from the weight of it dropping, and it will either disconnect from the headphones and fall, or stay connected and just hang from the cord. Either way, you'd have to notice it.

I had almost the same thing happen to me a few years ago. I've said that if I ever met the person who managed to lift my iPod I would shake their hand for pulling it off... then I would punch their lights out for stealing my iPod.

Well you know what they say what happens when you assume...You end up getting your iPod stole right from under your nose and get left with headphones dangling from your ears plugged into air like you're some kind of escaped mental patient.

"There's Something About Mary" Her brother wore loose headphone and used to say those words. Sheesh!

That iPod must have been with many, many headphones for the jack to be so loose that when pulled out, you couldn't feel a thing.

Someone trod on my earphones in a shop once and broke them. When you listen to music constantly they are like gold

No need for him to make you look stupid? True, it does seem like you accomplished that all on your own.

Wouldn't the iPod be the first thing to check when the music stopped? Either way thieves are quite good in their field...
