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

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

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.

Why do I feel like I've seen this before.

That seriously sucks, but why was your phone not in your pocket? Most people put their phones in their pockets when they can't hold them for whatever reason.

I have done that before.

pockets work infinitely better than the roof of a car, in my opinion.

Maybe they didn't have pockets?

Brings back fond memories of when I did this exact thing. Put my phone on top of my car so I could put my hair up and then drove away. A block away from work some asshat pulled out in front of me and I had to brake hard so the phone went flying. It was a Motorola Razr; I'll let you guess how it turned out.

You couldn't slip your phone in your back pocket? Of course that can't always happen depending on what you are wearing...but perhaps tossing it in your passenger seat might be a good idea for now on

once my mum drove miles with a box of wheatabix (sp?) on the roof of her car. Strangers were gesturing from their cars and she didn't know why, but when she got home there it was. Upright. She was lucky, I do hope you get another phone soon. Be more careful next time!

First of all, why would you think nothing of something flying off the roof of your car while driving? That could have been something coming off your car; not to mention the danger to anyone driving behind you. Second: I'm sorry you lost your phone, but you left it on the roof of your car and that's why it's gone. No one to blame but yourself. YDI
