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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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, 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No matter what it is, phone, purse, wallet, or drink. Always put it on your hood. When you get in to drive you'll be looking right at it. This has saved many a coffee for me.

maybe he didnt have pockets and had his keys in one hand and something else in the other, he couldn't open the door without putting his phone on the roof

Correction 10: Someone who made a stupid and *expensive* mistake. No pity here.

All of the phone users who don't know there's a website are going to be very confused how OP posted this.
domolovesyoshi 33
What are you on about? it doesn't say anywhere on the Op's post how he posted it. I'm using the app and it honestly does not say, I used to use the website before I got my smart phone.

He lost his phone, so he couldn't have used his phone. That's what he meant.

"All of the phone users, who don't know there's a website, are going to be very confused how OP posted this." is what he meant.

Actually, that's incorrect #34. By putting "who don't know there's a website" in commas, it becomes an appositive phrase, suggesting that all phone users are unaware that there is a website. #3's comment was correct. By putting the phrases together, it only talks about the phone users who specifically do not know that there is an FML website and not just the app.

#36. No it doesn't.
AlbertNeinstein 10
Yes it does. Putting a comma after a subject, like "all the people in my school, who are boys, play sports" vs. "all the people in my school who are boys play sports" are 2 completely different sentences. So saying "all the phone users, who don't know there is a website." Is making the claim that all phone users don't know there is a website.

Everyone makes mistakes #7. Shit happens

He shouldn't put his phone on the roof he should put it in his pocket then take it out when the car is open, It's just common sense

Rule 1 of driving don't place anything on the roof or hood, you never remember to grab it off.
