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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I was out jogging. As I took a rest to have a drink of water, a car pulled onto the sidewalk and bumped into me. Not just any car; my dad's car. He then drove away. FML
Today, I forgot my phone on the roof of my car. I took a 30 minute drive from my friend's city to my city. I got on to my driveway, surprised to see my phone still there. Thinking I'm really lucky, I pick up my phone. Then, I trip over a pebble, cracking my phone in the process. FML
Today, after dropping my phone in the toilet, I left it dismantled outside in my backyard to dry hoping it could be saved. I forgot about the phone as well as the sprinklers that were scheduled to go off. FML
Today, I left my phone on the roof of my car after pumping gas. I drove off, and it wasn't until I heard a thud that I realized what had happened. Now my phone has a gash in the screen, and it's receiving angry texts from my girlfriend that I can't answer. 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 put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML
Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML
Today, my phone died. I plugged it in to charge and then went out to run some errands. When I returned, my phone was no where to be found, and our shovel was on the floor, muddy and wet. I then discovered my 6-year old son had buried my "dead" 200$ palmpilot because he had felt sorry for me. 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

Did he start up the lawn mower as you went inside or was he already mowing the lawn

You couldn't hear him starting the mower/using the mower? I mean, it's not like the things have stealth-mode or something, they're pretty loud.

seriously? you might not have expected it, but you shouldn't have left it out there. anything could have happened to it.

OP's Phone was very heavy and bulky and it couldn't fit in a pocket or be carried with one hand. Therefore s/he had to leave it behind.

It was probably one of THOSE phones. The kind that takes 4 people to carry, or more if it's a newer model.

Your dad probably should've seen your phone but it wasn't the best idea to leave it there in the first place

Grass that needs to be mowed is usually pretty high. Besides phones are ridiculously small now. No. Just no.
Krypt1c 11
actually the newer ones are ridiculously big. like, tablet size

Ridiculously small? Maybe flip phones but definitely not the common smartphones. Bigger screen is the new trend for some reason
texasmade817 5
actually phones have been getting bigger the last year or so. Definitely big enough to see laying on the grass

yeah go put your phone in tall grass and get behind a push mower or sit on a riding mower. let us know how well you can see it.

Some electric lawnmowers are now surprisingly quiet, but if op was in the house long enough for her dad to start up the lawn mower and start cutting the grass, she/he kinda deserves it.

That is completely your fault.. I was actually expecting it to be stolen or covered in ants or something. That's just a dumb move on your end.
UncleCaitlyn 21
We don't know the entire story but it doesn't seem like the brightest idea

Oh I'm kind of thirsty, better go inside and get something to drink. Gee, this phone is mighty heavy, I think I will just set it here on the lawn so that it's not I'm my way while I go all the way inside.

Was it Thor's phone?

Why are you out on the lawn in the first place? To show your dad where he missed a spot?
Mackade 18
because some people like fresh air, and not the air you get from behind a computer screen.
purelymixed 17
Why don't your get some air from behind deez nuts

This is what happens when you don't pick up after yourself

Expect the unexpected.

Idiot. Even if your father didn't go over it with a lawn mower, so many other things could've happened to your phone while you left it in the grass.

Like what? I can't see anything other than being hit by a lawnmower happening to a phone sitting out for a few minutes. Obviously OPs father was outside so nobody was going to walk into the yard and steel it.
