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

Now call them to explain and ask where your phone went.

We all miss a important job interview because we could not find the keys fOr "a few minutes?" seriously what the **** if it took you a "few" minutes to find them why were you late?

If it was only a few minutes, I'm sure you could have made it to the interview and just explained the situation. Either way, fyl.

Seems like the kind of thing you wouldn't inform your potential employer about.... but that might just be me.

Most People understand what havoc nerves can cause in someone's life. Everyone has those 'special moments' OP. Good luck.

If it was just a few minutes...wouldn't you just drive a little faster? Or were you a few minutes late for your bus? Get a taxi? I don't see how a few minutes made all the difference here...Sounds like you were going to be late regardless of the keys incident.

I moderated this FML, and can safely say that they edited '40 minutes' to 'a few minutes'. So it's not his/her fault - at least not for not calculating in a time margin.

While they're on your face? I do that. Sometimes, I forget I have them on when stepping into the shower.

Sometimes I forget I have a penis, and a few minutes later I find it again.

If it was so important, then shouldn't you have gotten ready early? Not once did you notice them in your hands while digging around your house? YDI

Exactly my thoughts. If you're 10 minutes early you're on time. If you're on time you're late. If you're late you're fired.

I came here to say just that. Op deserves it if a few minutes meant they missed the interview.

I've looked for my phone before while I was calling someone. He probably didn't notice it cause he was freaking out over the fact he couldn't find his keys

That reminds me when I'm on the phone talking to someone and I can't find my phone.

That's the worst. I tend to feel my pocket to make sure it's still there throughout the day. Occasionally I'll have a sudden heart attack upon not feeling it and, after 5 seconds of groping all my other pockets, realise that I'm an idiot and have it held to my face. I once started the sentence "shit, I can't find my ph... wait." do the person I was on the phone with.

I constantly pat my pockets for my keys or lighter, which usually leads to me ejecting the contents just to make sure it was my keys.

Pwnman, I'm glad you think this. Many people no realize OP not have fault. Is very upsetting.

Why are you guys thumbing MURRIKA down for making a joke of 9's bad grammar? You guys must think he's seriously that dumb or something.

We got the joke. There's just no need to take the piss out of him. You understood what he meant, didn't you?

A lot of people forget things in their hands. It's not very uncommon.
