Today, I couldn't find my phone. Worried that I'd accidentally thrown it in the trash, I emptied out all the bins and searched the garbage. An hour later, my daughter said she'd found it by the bathroom sink. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after frantically searching my house and office and calling every place I'd visited in the last 24 hours, I finally found my phone in my fridge. FML
Today, I went dumpster diving with my partner, looking for random things, and my phone fell into the dumpster. My partner went in there to look for it and couldn't find it, so now I'm phoneless and my phone is somewhere in the dumpster mixed into the trash. FML
Today, I lost my cell phone. But found it again! And then dropped it in the toilet. FML
Today, my son texted me that he couldn't find his phone, so I went to go help him look for it. FML
Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML
Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML
Today, I spent 10 minutes searching for my phone while on a call. Turns out, I had absentmindedly put it in the freezer while grabbing a snack. It was frozen solid, but at least I found it. FML
Today, I thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML
Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have called it from another phone and see if you could hear it ring!

It's ok! I always forget where I place my nicknacks and such. The important thing is that at the end of the day, they always come back to momma :')

You should've stopped looking for it, you'd have found it.

You sound just like my mom. Whenever she misplaces something(and by "misplace" I mean "can't find in less than 5 seconds") she starts yelling about how it's probably in the trash can. When I lived with her I would wake up at least once or twice a week to her yelling about how she threw her keys in the trash can, because she would always run around the house yelling before digging up the trash. It was up to me and my sister to start looking for the keys whilst she dug up the trash desperately, only to find them on the table, in her purse, maybe fallen off the table and on the floor. You know, rational locations. Btw, In years of looking for her stuff in the trash before looking anywhere else, she never found anything there. It's called "use some goddamn common sense and look in rational locations first'.

Lol, Rudysoho, love the story, thanks for sharing. :) Kind of reminds me of my wife too, but she gets more frustrated when she can't find something, not that she actually believes it's in the garbage. :)
