Today, I was walking my dog through a park with a lake. My dog was swimming in said lake, and then appeared to be having trouble keeping his head up. I put my phone and keys on the ground and waded to my dog. He was fine, but I turned around in time to see someone run off with my stuff. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my dog for a walk down by the river. I was throwing sticks for him with one hand and talking on the phone with the other. Then I accidentally threw my phone in the river instead of the stick and was standing there talking to the stick while my phone sat at the bottom of the river. FML
Today, I got mugged while walking my dog. He seemed to be OK with it. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML
Today, my friend and I went boating. In the middle of the lake, we decided to jump in. We put our valuables in the boat and jumped in. When I tried to get back in the boat, it flipped over, and our cellphones, along with my car keys, are at the bottom of the lake. FML
Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML
Today, I took a peaceful walk through the park, and then sat on the grass. As I was enjoying the quiet, a dog appeared out of nowhere and decided my shoes were a chew toy. I spent 10 minutes trying to wrestle my shoes away from this dog, while its owner casually walked in the opposite direction. FML
Today, while dogsitting for a friend, I took their overly excitable dog to the park. The moment I unleashed him, he bolted, and I ended up chasing him for what felt like miles. When I finally caught him, I was covered in mud and my pants had a huge tear in them. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I slipped on some mud and fell onto my ass. As I fell, I let go of the leash, and my dog just stood there, staring at me in what seemed like curious judgment. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park, and he ran straight into a group of people having a picnic. Naturally, he grabbed the biggest piece of meat in sight and ran off with it. As I chased him, I tripped and fell in front of everyone. My dog then sat and chewed the meat in front of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yes, but your phone probably has a tracker on it, and can be reported to the police. Unless the guy keeps the phone turned off indefinitely or disables the tracker, he's basically screwed.

Wow, talk about being an asshole, just because his shit got stolen doesn't mean hobos did it.

gotta love people taking stuff so seriously

I'd value my pet over any of my possessions. The last thing I'd think of when trying to save my pet is hobos in the area. Please don't be an asshole.

Op swam out to his dog. If he did his phone would've been damaged

I think I would've held them in my hand, I treat my phone like its my baby

7 - so if the dog ended up needing saving and you had to use your arms to do it and the water was up to your pockets, youd just drop it in the water? sounds like the opposite of treating your phone like a baby, i wouldnt take mine NEAR the water to begin with. please dont ever hold a real baby, then... hopefully you misread the fml

I would choose my dog over my phone

If it were me, I would have held the phone with my teeth.

If it were up to me, I would've held the dog with my teeth. Let's just all be glad it wasn't me...

Yes, swimming in a lake phone in hand is a great idea!

I hate when bad things happen to good people.

You could have tried hiding them. FYL though OP.
LunaRebirth 7
Let's just gently set my belongings behind this tree and maybe go grab a tarp to cover them up nice and easily... all this whilst my DOG IS DROWNING
brand125 17
11 - where? please dont ever ever ever be a lifeguard if you take the time to find a hiding spot for things instead of rushing to a potential drowning victim.
