Today, I couldn't find my phone. Worried that I'd accidentally thrown it in the trash, I emptied out all the bins and searched the garbage. An hour later, my daughter said she'd found it by the bathroom sink. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after frantically searching my house and office and calling every place I'd visited in the last 24 hours, I finally found my phone in my fridge. FML
Today, I went dumpster diving with my partner, looking for random things, and my phone fell into the dumpster. My partner went in there to look for it and couldn't find it, so now I'm phoneless and my phone is somewhere in the dumpster mixed into the trash. FML
Today, I lost my cell phone. But found it again! And then dropped it in the toilet. FML
Today, my son texted me that he couldn't find his phone, so I went to go help him look for it. FML
Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. 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 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 thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML
Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have called it from another phone and see if you could hear it ring!

Could have been worse. My friend dropped his iPhone in the toilet while he was doing his business.

So do all phones, you ring them from the land line...

36- but if it was on silent it doesn't ring. For iPhone it makes it ring on the loudest volume.

The question is, how in hell would your phone end up anywhere NEAR the trash? Why the **** would it have been there??

Anythings possible.

There could be a million possible reasons that would justify this predicament...
Dracoboxer357 36
A million possible reasons and yet less than a handful of plausible ones. I've never met anyone who just so happened to throw their phone in the trash, without thinking about it. Sorry, ydi is better suited for not simply retracing her steps logically.

Anything's possible? A million possible reasons?? Are you people ******* stupid, or just that careless with your stuff?
Dracoboxer357 36
More of the latter, less of the former. :D Oh I'm sorry, was that a rhetorical question? ;) I was actually not defending the Anything Can Happen group, more stating I find a good reason in short supply why the trash would be the first place to search for one's precious communication device. :)

I've seriously been wondering the same thing! I mean..why the trash? o.0
DocBastard 40
Thanks Draco, but I was talking to the other idiots that you weren't defending. I guarantee I've had a cell phone longer than most of you, and probably longer than a lot of you have been alive (not condescension, just fact). I've never lost or broken one in all that time because I actually have respect for my stuff, especially my valuable stuff. Thumb me down all you want, but if your phone ends up in the trash, you're either stupid or careless.

Hey *points at the guy with the picture of a man with an object shoved up his rectum* I is no stupid.

58- OP might have placed the phone on a paper towel with orange peels on it and threw away the paper towel, along with the phone on accident. I did that with a spoon one time... Anythings possible!

Doesn't sound very smart.

Lol check everywhere before the trash, even the fridge, then take care of dirty business
