Today, at work, a customer left their cell phone behind. I tried to see if there were any pictures so that I could identify them. No, I still don't know what they look like, but I have seen their penis. FML

Why do some guys always take pictures of their penis?

alot of people look through their pictures to identify even the police do it

the police do it because they're nosey sons of bitches just like OP. seriously the most logical option is to call the home contact or any contact really. don't disguise your voyeurism as good samaritanism.

The police should be allowed... if anything i'd just have put it in a draw or something, and left it to see if it would ring, then answer.

#1, why would they be in their own contacts?

or "mom""dad" even anyone. they should all be able to identify who's phone it is.

Hot ;-) But it is there phone, you shouldn't of been looking at it and left it on the lost and found or w.e.

Most places (and people) would have just turned it in a lost an found spot and maybe answered it if it rang... but only a nosy person would go through the pics...

okokok guys. Are you telling me you don't have your id, phone #, and home address photoed into your phone. Thats the first thing your spposed to to!

no I have a I.C.E. contact. you know In Case of Emergency...

actually I didn't have the space when I wrote this one up to explain that I thought i might recognize the owner of the phone as a guy who had scammed me a week earlier. I wasn't around when the phone had been lost.

just try calling some of their contacts next time

what if their contacts are all weird names. like if the contacts are bitch, asshole, retard, **** buddy, etc.

88 my friends phone is like that. It was so confusing.

YDI. who looks at the pictures to figure out who owns a phone???

their? oh so now the hone is owned by multiple people?

The word "their" was used correctly.

you would have to use "his" otherwise it's incorrect. their is multiple people and his/his or her is singular. go to school dumb ass

the word "their" is not used as a plural it's used to show ownership of a specific item in this case the cell phone. so yes it was used properly

Apparently the penis in question belongs to more than one person as well. #50, "their" is the possesive form of "they". It always refers to more than one person.

I'm french so maybe I'm wrong but I think it was used properly as we don't know if the phone's proprietor is male or female (maybe the photo was sent to their phone and not taken by it), we can't use his or her. Just as you can use they for one person when you don't know if "they" are a male or a female.

Wouldn't 'their' also be used as a singular possesive word that doesn't identify gender? I'm fairly certain that in this day and age that you don't need to be a guy to have a penis (physically part of your body or as a personal play thing).

61, I don't think you could be more wrong if you tried. Have a nice day though. :)

"A single person, previously mentioned, but of unknown or irrelevant gender" en.wiktionary.org/wiki/they

http://www.lsu.edu/faculty/jpullia/subjectpronounagreement.htm If gender is unknown, it is proper to use "his or her," not "their."

I'm not defending the credibility behind Wiktionary, just showing that somewhat known sources tend to disagree. I would go with "his or her" anyway.

go **** yourselves grammar Nazis

Neither Wikipedia nor Wikitionary is a reliable source. @63 You really need to go back to grammar school and learn proper English. "Their" is the possessive case of the word "they". "They" is the plural pronoun for "he", "she", and "it". "Their" is always plural, and you are, apparently, always ignorant and stupid.

Okay, I'll acknowledge that wikipedia isn't the best source, but how about the dictionary? Definition number 2: "used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her." In other words, it is, in fact, correct to use "their" as a singular when referring to a person of unknown or unspecified gender.

I'm guessing you meant #64, as opposed to 63? If such is the case, I am only enjoying this more. How someone could think so strongly that something is right when it isn't just baffles me. Perhaps YOU should go back to school. Or are you still in high school? Are you like 12 or something?

to #64 / #118... you really should pick up a book or dictionary or repead gradeschool before you go telling others that they are wrong. their and any other form of they is ALWAYS and ONLY plural. his, hers, one's, its are the singular words. again, you couldn't be more wrong with your reasoning or accusations.

Read a book. There are plenty of unreliable sources on the internet. You can find hundreds agreeing with your usage and millions agreeing with ours. Take a middle school, high school, or college grammar course and you might be able to better understand how the English language works.

You are a dumbass. Comment #112 specifically stated that they were quoting the definition from a dictionary. A dictionary, surprisingly, happens to be a book. I'd suggest taking a middle school or high school reading class to help your reading disability. I'll humor you and take the exact definition from my Oxford American College Dictionary. "2 [singular] used to refer to a person of unspecified sex: ask a friend if they could help." Here's a segment from the usage paragraph located below. "... in view of the growing acceptance of they and its obvious practical advantages, they is used in this dictionary in many cases where he would have been used formerly." Which means the Oxford American College Dictionary considers it as an accepted definition and also uses it in "many cases" throughout the book. I'm going to believe a 1600+ paged college dictionary knows more about the English language than you do. Nice try, pal.

Yay. Someone who is able to use a dictionary. :)

khamu, perhaps you should actually open a dictionary and look at the definition before blatantly saying I'm wrong. Just saying.

here comes the grammar nazi!!! haha I bet u did NAZI that coming

well the only alternative is to have sex with all your co-workkers in order to identify him, that is the Christian way :)
