Today, I was mowing the lawn while wearing gym shorts. Because I had no pockets, I tucked my phone into the waistband of my shorts. I didn't notice my phone had slipped until the lawnmower started making an awful sound. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my smartphone fell out of my cargo shorts pocket onto the floor of my friend's car. I didn't even notice until he drove me home, where I noticed that the pocket was empty. FML
Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML
Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML
Today, I was taking my phone out of my pocket when it caught on the fabric and began to fall. I managed to catch it, but also smacked myself in the balls in the process. 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 was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weed-whacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgot that I was mowing where the dogs take dumps, I absentmindedly whacked over dog poop… which got flung into my face. FML
Today, I ran out of breath while mowing the lawn. I was on a riding lawn mower. FML
Today, I checked my jacket pocket for my smartphone, all while still holding my smartphone. 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

Wow #2, how did you work that one out?
JMichael 26
Oh gee idk 42. Maybe it's the fact his phone was missing and the lawnmower made a loud clunking noise. That's the conclusion I drew from the situation. But hey, I could be wrong you know.

OP could not find the power button. The lawn is pretty big.

Why didn't you just leave your phone inside?

Maybe he was using it for music
Aspen_Grace33 27
If he was using it for music, he'd almost certainly have to have in earphones to be able to hear it over the lawn mower. Then he would have known it fell out of his waistband by the tugging of the cord.

You ought to have known the moment it popped into your head that it wasn't a good idea. That was never bound to end well, hmmm...

There are moments in life when your brain will alert you, that you are about to do, or are doing something stupid. Always pause and stop doing the thing, even though you may be tempted to ignore it. I learned this kernel of wisdom after many injuries and regrets.

Why did you need your phone to mow the lawn?
HarleyQuinn1996 8
The phone shows people how to properly mow the grass. Also it has a GPS in case you get lost on the lawn
