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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to start jogging again for the first time in months. I made it one block before tripping over the curb. I fell so hard, my phone flew out of my pocket and hit a parked car, setting off its alarm. I ran off when I saw house curtains all around me start to twitch. 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
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML
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
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

Why do you need your phone when you run?? In case someone calls? People can wait for 20-30 minutes, you can call them back. So ok, someone calls you while you are running, are you going to run and talk? Or if someone follows you, or attacks you - will you have time to call for help?? stay in public places and don't run at night.

So you need your cell phone while exercising? YDI for not being able to let go of technology while supposedly trying to get into shape

The other day I was doing my daily bike route and was at the farthest point from my house when my back tire deflated. Because I had my phone, I was able to get a ride rather then walk the 25 km back to my house. Shit happens, so give this person a break for having it in case of emergency.

I always have it with me, in case of emergencies. Sorry, don't agree with y'all.

I was on a very long bike ride with my sister, the bike path was easing out into a neighborhood far away. We stopped for a break and noticed someone had abandoned a lop-eared rabbit in a box and it looked like something had attacked it. Of course we couldn't leave it there. So now, we're walking home, with two bikes, a VERY heavy lop-eared rabbit... a cell phone would have helped a ton, because that was a painful night. Eventually we just hopped a fence over the bike trail and went to someone's house and asked to call our mother to come pick us up. And, last year my roommate broke his ankle when he was out running. He carelessly stepped off a curb, rolled it and broke it somehow. He didn't have a cellphone either. He had to hobble all the way home. Don't knock on someone for wanting to bring their phone with them. Just because people survived without them before, doesn't mean emergencies, rapes, attacks, never happened.

Here's a thought, leave it at home.

If you're a chick, always put it in the side of your sports bra. If you have enough up there, it won't fall out.
