Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML
Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
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 went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML
Today, I left my number on my receipt for a cute waitress. As I was leaving the bar, she came running out and called me over. I obviously got excited. Turns out I'd forgotten to sign my slip. FML
Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML
Today, I asked a girl for her number and I wrote it down when she gave it to me. When I called her, it wasn't her. She'd given me a restaurant's phone number. FML
Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time to look for it before work. This evening, my cell phone company calls me to tell me I have six hundred dollars worth of calls to El Salvador that I have to pay for. My cell phone was not misplaced, it was stolen. FML
Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML

Wow, You'll be waiting for quite a while for them to get back to you, won't you?

Just... Forever. Unless someone is smart enough to check the "contacts" and call someone who might know OP's phone number. (just what I've done when I found a cell.)

No, OP made it up. She was actually sitting at home all day bored trying to think up a clever situation to get them noticed on FML.

Just be happy it was your phone and not your wallet, kid, or something of some importance.

Do you have like a 5 dollar pay-as-you-go phone or something? Some phones are almost as valuable as a used car these days.

Actually no, I have an iphone, but still its just a phone. Its really not that much money.

42- Well shit bro, not everyone in the world can wipe their ass with said "cheap iPhone". Some people actually care if they are out a couple hundred bucks.

So do you want to buy me a new iPhone since it's "not that much money"?

And most of us have our life on our phones. With direct connections to our bank accounts, pictures, emails, etc. Not to mention losing important contact information.

Phones can be pretty important these days. I mean if it was a smart phone they're going to have a LOT of information about OP and a lot of banks now have mobile apps for online banking. So it could be worse than losing a wallet depending on how much personal information was stored in the phone.
xgetxbentx 13
Lmfao are you kidding me? An iPhone isn't that much money?! They can be up to about $600 and are about $200 at the cheapest. It's cool that you have hundreds of dollars to blow on a phone that's not even important to you, but to a lot of people, that's a ton of money to lose.

So go back and give them your home phone number. If you have a landline, that is

But then there would be no point for the FML. Honestly though it ain't hard to just correct mistakes that are that small, people really irritate me. Good thing I'm not human, banana squirrels unite! (Certified by the US government to be a pro comment)

^^^ So this is what the our government is actually spending their time on. Everything makes more sense now.

You don't even have to go over there. Call from your other number or a friend's phone and ask them to call you back there if they find it.
