Today, I was taking a bus ride home, listening to some music. The music stopped and I assumed my iPod's battery had run out. Turns out someone managed to steal it, leaving my earphones in. I didn't feel a thing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I left my headphones on the bus and didn't realize until I got home. I used the tracking app and saw they were moving around the city. I followed the location for half an hour before realizing the signal was coming from my own neighborhood because the headphones had been sitting in my backpack the entire time. FML
Today, I was walking home, when I realized I didn't have my phone on me. After retracing my steps, I realized that I'd been listening to music from my phone the entire time. FML
Today, I was listening to my music on my phone through my Bluetooth wireless headphones. While listening, I turned my music and the power on my headphones off for a bit. I thought I'd lost them when I got home. They were so loosely fit over my ears that I felt like an idiot when I realized they were still on my head. FML
Today, I was on a crowded el train listening to my iPod touch. As I stepped off the train, my headphones got caught on a man's jacket and my iPod fell on the floor. The doors shut. I then watched the train pull away. With my iPod on it. FML
Today, I was on a bus and a man was feeling up my butt. I was just about to step on his foot when the bus stopped and he slipped out. Only then did I realize he'd stolen my wallet. FML

Today, I fell asleep listening to my music and tanning at the beach. Not only did I wake up with a sunburn, but my iPhone had been stolen. FML
Today, after a long workout I come back to my locker, to find my lock had been cut. I looked inside realizing my phone and iPod had been stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, my keys were gone. I ran out to the parking lot to find an empty spot where my car had once been parked. FML
Today, I had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, I helped two people find the central station on my way home. As a thank you, they mugged me and stole my wallet and iPod Touch. FML

I'm imagining OP's iPod is playing, "You've been hit by, you've been struck by-" Thief unplugs the iPod, snatches it and sings "A smooth criminal." The thief then proceeds to moonwalk off the bus with the rest of the occupants performing choreographed dance.

Sorry OP, but I had to say YDI. On any mode of public transportation, you should be holding into your valuables with a death grip or keeping them concealed. I'm on a bus ride right now and my iPhone doesn't leave my hand, nobody sees my laptop, and my wallet and daughter stay by my side at all times. I even lied to a guy who asked me if I had a cell phone he could borrow for a minute, because I wasn't taking any chances. Kept it hidden in my pocket the rest of the time he was on the bus too. Sucks that your iPod got stolen, anyway.. But I hope you learned from it, heh.

Yes, because even with the earphones being connected to the ipod, I'm sure nobody would have noticed it if it was concealed. I understand having to be careful, but exagerrating is bad too...

Maybe if you could go 15 minutes without needing some form of entertainment this wouldn't have happened. Sit there patiently and quietly like people always had before this stupid smartphone fetish began.

First of all, who said anything about a smartphone? It was an iPod; not the same thing. Second, you don't know how long OP was on the bus, it might have been an hour or more, and what's wrong with wanting a little entertainment? Who wants to sit on a bus for any length of time with nothing to do but stare into space? If it's only a few minutes, fine, but I have an hour long bus ride to work and home again every day and I spend that time reading, texting, or listening to music. That's how I relax. I'm not gonna sit there just staring at the strangers on the bus for an hour. Also, before the "stupid smartphone fetish", people probably read or listened to music on the bus, just like OP. I really doubt they just stared into space then, either.

Isn't it more likely it just fell out?
