Today, it wasn't until I heard something fly off the roof of my car and hit the trunk, then asphalt, that I remembered where I left my phone while unlocking the car door. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the street, still intact. Yay! When I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door, and the keys were in the ignition. FML
Today, I forgot my phone on the roof of my car. I took a 30 minute drive from my friend's city to my city. I got on to my driveway, surprised to see my phone still there. Thinking I'm really lucky, I pick up my phone. Then, I trip over a pebble, cracking my phone in the process. FML
Today, I was driving back home when I saw a yellow object flying off my roof of my car through the side mirrors. I thought nothing of it, then I noticed that I didn't have my phone with me. That's when I realized that the "flying yellow object" was my phone. FML
Today, I couldn’t find my phone as I left work, but knew it was on me since CarPlay connected. Later, the music cut out speeding up onto the freeway. I then recalled placing it on the roof as I loaded up the car. FML
Today, I left my phone on the roof of my car after pumping gas. I drove off, and it wasn't until I heard a thud that I realized what had happened. Now my phone has a gash in the screen, and it's receiving angry texts from my girlfriend that I can't answer. FML
Today, I put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML
Today, I was driving down a highway during rush-hour. I heard my phone ring and couldn't find it. I bent down to feel around for it and got in an accident and totaled my car. The ringing? A commercial on the radio. Where was my phone? On my dresser at home. FML
Today, I was pumping gas, when my daughter called me. After I hung up, I put my phone on the car roof while I grabbed my bag. I completely forgot about it and only realized when it shot off the roof as I braked at a traffic light. FML
Today, my smartphone fell out of my cargo shorts pocket onto the floor of my friend's car. I didn't even notice until he drove me home, where I noticed that the pocket was empty. FML
Today, I accidentally left the handbrake off in my car, got out, locked it, and started walking away. Then I heard a loud noise and looked over my shoulder and the car was gone. Of course, it hit the only other car parked in the street. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

NEVER put stuff on the roof of your car. (Yeah, I learned the hard way as well)

Give me a brake! I'm tired of things like this! You auto know better than to leave your phone there, OP! You can't a Ford to break phones like that! Find a company that will cell you a good protection plan at least.

-27 sometimes your hands are full and to unlock the car you need to put stuff down. -37 it doesn't make you a retard

I've never had that happen. One simple rule, if you have to set something on your car put it on the hood. That way if you forget it, as soon as you get in your car you see it there.

Lets hope you have an old brick for a phone. If not, now you will.

lilhellian 27
No.. You just didn't see how to continue it... Therefore you killed it.

Insurance?
CommunistBanana 8
For a phone?
Kauphy 12
You can get insurance for a phone. Let's hope OP does, especially if it was a smartphone.

It's a thing. I pay $10 a month, part of my phone bill. I've learnt my lesson that it's pointless though, don't bother with it!
lilhellian 27
Insurance is certainly not pointless! I personally have had to use insurance to get me a new phone.. Multiple times..

If your responsible with your things, especially valuable ones, I could see why you could consider it pointless. If you have a tendency to lose, drop, or break things, I could see why you would consider it the opposite.

Does your plan cover "acts of stupidity"?

How long did it take you to come up with those puns?
twaumat 28
I think puns are overused and getting old very fast.
ChenEighty 20
39, that was barely a pun. It was more pointing out a grammar flaw with a really bad joke.
Shortay123 14
I love all the plays on words you come up with (: They brighten my day (:

Once I saw some man driving while his phone laying at the roof of his care, we stopped him just in time though.

8 - A bit off topic, but I can't tell if your username is suppose to be "pussys tank" or "pussy stank". Looks like I'm going to be awake for awhile.

#17. Check your pockets. You stole the words out of my brain. I would like them back.
