Today, I was running late and couldn't find my purse anywhere. My sleep-deprived brain came up with the brilliant idea of trying to phone it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I was in a hurry to catch a plane. I got halfway to the airport when I realized I'd forgotten my phone. I drove back to the house and searched for it. I finally gave up and returned to the airport, only to find that I was 10 minutes late for my plane. Just then, my pocket vibrated. FML
Today, I spent about 10 minutes searching frantically for my cell phone, while holding it up to my ear and talking to my friend about my plans tonight. FML
Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML
Today, after frantically searching my house and office and calling every place I'd visited in the last 24 hours, I finally found my phone in my fridge. FML
Today, I had to drive 300 miles to a town where I thought I'd forgotten my purse the night before. When I got to the hotel I had been staying at, I found out it was actually in the trunk of my car. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML
Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML
Today, I was running late for an important meeting and couldn't find my car keys. After searching around for way too long, I finally realised where they were - in the pocket of the pants I'd worn the day before, which were now spinning around in the now-unstoppable, two-hour washing machine cycle. FML
Today, I was getting groceries and realized at checkout that I forgot my wallet. The cashier gave me a sympathetic look as I frantically tried to unlock my phone to pay with an app, and watched as I accidentally called my ex on speakerphone. FML

Did it work? :P Maybe you should by a phone to leave in your purse.

A female Brony. Where have you been?
igive 29
outside.
perdix 31
Well, the video games, the TV, the couch, the soda and the ice cream are all inside. So, you should go there and stay there.

#61, well, if you must know, it's this horrible place with a cancer-causing death ray on the ceiling, biting and stinging insects and social interactions with, gasp!, real people! I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it should make you feel more grateful about your noble brony/pegasister calling.

57-Mmm... Ice cream.

#83, yet another treat I provide my dedicated stalkers -- sometimes I swtich it up with frozen custard or gelato.

Shame, I was hoping for sherbet.
perdix 31
OK, I'll get some sherbet and sorbet and froyo. I am to please. I've got some new Zumba numbers that will make you need to cool off somehow.

Do we get a pint of Guinness too? Or is that just for the stalkers?
mckibabe 7
Dang, perdix I am now your stalker, though I was a little bit before this anyway....
mckibabe 7
Perdix, I am now stalking you! Though I always was a little...

Welcome aboard! I'll keep you entertained and am accessible enough that you feel you can partake of the prize.

Try a coffee, maybe? Im insomniac and coffee usually helps.

It's odd that I'm an insomniac who is generally sleep-deprived and I felt no compassion for OP. I just thought, "If you're sleep-deprived and running late, you probably should've gone to bed earlier. YDI." Thank you for making me realise that I'm short on tolerance today. OP, take a tip from an old pro: arrange your things ahead of time and get in the habit of keeping critical things in the same place. It saves you from having to force your sluggish brain to do too much before it's ready.

Not that bad of an idea. Maybe your phone was in your purse. Of course, it'll only work if you're calling from your land line, not your cell.(:
perdix 31
If you often leave your phone in your purse and try calling it from your landline, that's not a bad idea. If you get your cell phone out of your purse to call your purse, you've got problems.

Are you copying my comment and rewording it??? Either (eye) that or we're starting to think way too alike! (:
perdix 31
It's the latter! Scary, huh? I didn't see yours until I had submitted mine. We ought to go on The Newlywed Game. If only I knew what you looked like and vice versa. That would make Chuck Eubanks suspicious.
Enslaved 38
Newlywed game? You just want to talk about "whoopee" with me, don't ya?
perdix 31
Not just talk ;)

If only that really did work.
