Today, it was snowing. After answering a call, I put my phone into my jacket pocket, and hurried across the road. I quickly realised my phone hadn't slipped into my pocket after all, and I turned around in time to see a snowplow go by. I couldn't find my phone in the snowdrifts. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the snowblower found my lost phone. FML
Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML
Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML
Today, I spent 10 minutes searching for my phone while on a call. Turns out, I had absentmindedly put it in the freezer while grabbing a snack. It was frozen solid, but at least I found it. FML
Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML
Today, I bundled up to shovel my car out of almost 2 feet of snow, only to find my car was gone. I ran into the nearby police station to report my stolen car. The policeman trudged down with me to get a report. I had parked my car on the other side of the street. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." 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 checked my jacket pocket for my smartphone, all while still holding my smartphone. FML
Today, I spent an hour in a snowstorm waiting for my bus to show up. After I got fed up, I decided to just clean off my car and drive to work. After I was halfway finished swiping off the snow and ice stuck to my car, the bus drove right past me. FML

And if you lost your phone that way?
inner_peace 19
I'd get a new one.
SemiAuto 21
You wouldn't be the least bit upset?
inner_peace 19
Obviously. But like I said, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I am snow sorry :)

Maybe OP should have tried calling it? Maybe an idea?
inner_peace 19
...it's safe to assume that his phone won't work.
OhWhoCares 42
What will Op call the phone with? I'm assuming that they're alone in their search...

Even if the phone did work, the snow would muffle any sound, vibration, or lights that come from ringing.

So who cares if something bad happens? It's not the end of the world, right? The holocaust? Not the end of the world!
Senseless_487 29
I know you didn't just compare losing your phone to the holocaust, right?

If it's still not broken... Call it?

Who knows maybe it'll grow into a phone tree and you can pick the first ones when the new phones are ripe :)

Pretty sure there's an "Apple" joke to be had here....

Sorry, that sucks op. Hope insurance covers it.

Who do you know with cell phone insurance?
SgtAssCheeks 21
No joke there is a cell phone insurance around my place that you can insure your phone for 20$ per year and its covered against theft, break, lost and just about every other accidental mishaps. You recieve a brand new one.
TunaFireStarter 16
$20 a year? I think I'm being cheated! Mine is like $5 or $8 a month or something. It's protected against everything though, so I can get a new one if anything at all happens to it.
hashshim 23
My AT&T plan comes with phone insurance
Toriahh 21
Seriously? Insurance with verizon is like $5 a month and they told me I would have to pay $170 just to get a new phone because of a small hairline fracture.
TunaFireStarter 16
Mine isn't through my service provider. I can't remember who it's through at the moment, but the store I got it at sold it (way better than the plan from the provider!) They said it was covered against everything. Theft, water damage, and all that other good stuff.
davidisbeast 12
@51: why would you need to replace it because of a hairline fracture?
khaoticpanda 28
Cant tell you how many times iv done this same thing, but in wet grass. Never felt dumber, OP.

I predict Some hobo will have a lucky day in the near future.

with a soaking wet phone...
SgtAssCheeks 21
By the time the phone will be recovered, the battery will have completely drained out so no power will get into the phone, therefore water in your cellphone is harmless if you dry it afterwards
beaverteaser 16
not sure dry rice will fix that problem op

Good luck with finding it or getting a new phone, OP. Hope you have a warranty.
Sandsh8rk 36
Your phone was given the cold shoulder.
thefmlcounter 1
Shit happens. hopefully you can go back later and find it. then if It's broken you can use the warranty
glabberfasted 16
Warranty doesn't usually cover damage.
expectcriticism 13
what the hell do you think warranty means then?
