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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was running late and couldn't find my purse anywhere. My sleep-deprived brain came up with the brilliant idea of trying to phone it. 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, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
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
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 spent a few seconds looking for my phone before realizing I'd been holding it the entire time. I laughed, put it down, and went back to what I was doing. Ten minutes later, I started looking for it again. 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
Today, I was at the airport waiting for my flight when I realized I had forgotten my passport at home. I panicked, called my mom in a frenzy, only to realize I was holding my passport in my wallet the entire time. It was so embarrassing, and my mom will probably never let me forget it. FML
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

Truth. I have done similar things myself. One time my aunt was talking on her cell phone with my other aunt while she was driving, back when that was still legal. When she arrived at her destination she was gathering her purse and things up to go inside while still on the phone. Then she started to get a bit panicky and told my other aunt that she couldn't find her cell phone. My other aunt was giving her suggestions on where to look for it. This carried on for a good few minutes before they both realized what was going on. They both just laughed at their silliness and moved on. This happened years ago but it still gets a good laugh from the family every now and then.

I wonder what would happen if you realised this when she answered the phone and you told her, Ahh, natural selection at its finest. ;)

Just... Just how is this natural selection?

This is why people need to stop throwing the term around...

If it was natural selection he would have received a Darwin Award like moment where the mistake removed him from the gene pool ... This is just an oops moment .... Natural selection is survival of the fittest not necessarily the most physically fit mind you just the most fit for their environment in this case a technology age dependent on cell phones and computers.... Natural selection would have removed him as unfit if this were some bizarre and extreme situation or punished him by reducing his breeding status. I agree that people over use this term way too much.

Ummm sakata? Natural selection is more like an idiot doing something stupid to get himself killed therefore weeding himself from the gene pool... What you meant to say was that this guy was an idiot. Noting was done to rid the defective genes from the pool here...

True. At least it worked out for the best. It always feels like a weight has been lifted once you realize you have what you thought you lost.

Because #7 you're so "PERFECT" and have never misplaced anything, that's why you don't understand. Maybe one day the we can all be like you, na, what the hell am I thinking.

sometimes, people can be absent minded :) we have all managed to pull off something similar to this. I once thought I lost my glasses when i was clearly wearing them the whole time, took me a good 2 minutes to realize where they were...

I agree with #7, if you are looking for your phone and you find it to make a call, how do you not know you just found your phone? @37 That's not the same. It would be if while looking for your glasses, you put on your glasses to find them. Now would you really be stupid enough to do that?
waffule365 16
I'm not saying their stupid. I just really don't understand how people "lose" their phone but are talking on it.
