Today, I decided to start running to stay fit. Before I left, I put my cell phone in my sweat shirt pocket, and jumped vigorously up and down and ran around my apartment to make sure it wouldn't fall out. On a bridge, it slides out of my pocket and drops fifteen feet into the water below. FML

Today, I was excited about my new fitness tracker that I decided to go for a run to test it out. Midway through, I looked down and realized I'd forgot to turn it on. FML

Today, I decided I would finally get up and weed our front yard. After a long couple of hours, I was hot and sweaty and decided to jump in the pool, with all my clothes on, just for fun. Right as I was in the air doing a cannon ball, my BlackBerry started to ring from my pocket... FML

Cool banana!

Today, I tripped on a rock, fell in a pond, and lost my phone. All while dressed as a banana for a charity run. FML

Today, I was wearing a skirt, and running towards a closing elevator, making it just in time. As soon as I ran in, my pad fell out of my underwear and onto the floor. There were 6 other people in the elevator. I picked it up before I realized I had nowhere to put it, so I held it. For 18 floors. FML

Today, I came home from work and had to pee so badly that I ran to the bathroom and ripped my pants down. My touch screen phone dropped from my pocket and started calling my boyfriend. Since I couldn't quite reach the phone, I left a message of me peeing on his cell. FML

Today, while on the treadmill, my iPod fell and shot out underneath my feet. I got off to get it, and when I tried to get back on, I slipped and fell on my face on the moving track. The whole gym watched me get beat up by a treadmill and clapped when I finally got back on. FML

A little stiff and rusty

By Footloose - 11/09/2023 14:30

Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML

Today, my iPod dropped out of my pocket while I was walking. Trying to be cool, I attempted to kick it back into the air to catch it before it hit the ground. Upon making contact with my foot, It ended up detaching from my headphones and flying 10 feet. Right into a sewer grate. 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

FYL for losing your phone, but next time try a sweatshirt with zipper pockets. Obviously you knew it could fall out, and took it anyway. But I'd take my cell on a run too. But I'm a klutz, so its pretty likely I'd manage to get hurt.

Have we really become that dependent on technology? Really guys, it's just a damn run. You aren't going on vacation or anything.

Yeah, I only put important stuff in a pocket if it has snaps/buttons/a zipper.

A cell phone is a necessity when running. What if you fall or injure yourself? What if you're attacked? What if you witness a crime or an accident? Either way, it should have been secured inside something - a fanny pack or backpack.

As many have said, get some sweats with secure pockets. FYL for losing your phone after testing out the possibility of dropping it.

I'm a bit curious to know how it did not manage to fall out when you were jumping vigorously up and down and running around in your apartment, but managed to fall out the moment you got on a bridge.

Jumping up and down means it stays in the pocket, but moves around a bit, up and down. Running means that there is friction and your leg can literally push it out of your pocket.

How would their leg push it out of their _sweatshirt_ pocket? Good logic, just applied in the wrong situation. As for the OP, ydi. Secure it or don't bring it at all.
