Today, I spent ten minutes looking for my cell phone in the dark, only to realize the light I was using was my cell phone's. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent fifteen minutes looking for my phone in my car before I realized I was using it as a flashlight. FML
Today, I spent about 10 minutes searching frantically for my cell phone, while holding it up to my ear and talking to my friend about my plans tonight. 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 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 was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML
Today, for 20 minutes, I watched my girlfriend use a mini flashlight to look for her keys in her purse. The flashlight was on her key chain. As were her keys. FML
Today, my lamp wouldn’t turn on. I spent a good 10 minutes looking for a replacement bulb before I thought to check if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. 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 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I haven't heard anyone call a stupid moment a "blonde moment" in a while. It almost offended me... And I'm a brunette...

#1 I would agree with you, but this guy spent TEN minutes looking for something that was in his hand. I think 10 minutes is longer than a moment.

Fair point, maybe OP is just plain stupid.

1- I prefer the term "Karen Moment". It's less offensive to blondes, and makes all the Mean Girls fans go crazy.

Or perhaps a Phoebe moment, in reference to Friends.

46- more like FTS: Failed troll syndrome. Don't act like you don't have dumb moments. Even Einstein once ran out of his house without his shoes on.

I don't get why everyone is clicking YDI, since everyone does this once in a while.

56- just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's not a YDI moment, and I'm assuming not everyone has done this because I haven't.

Stupidity just slapped you in the face!

I wouldn't go as far as calling him stupid.. People do have mind blanks, embrace it!
ShyAnn29 15
He's not stupid, I've done the exact same thing

I'm not saying his stupid...I'm saying he got slapped in the face by stupidity...

Double post of a pointless comment. How died that even happen??? I'm always told anti flood protection. Edit: never mind it's the site. Weird. But kind of cool.

That's why you need to get an iPhone. You can ask Siri where your iPhone is and she'll say, "It's in your ******* hands, you moron!" Or you could use the Find My iPhone app which will tell you your phone is right behind you, holding a big knife and suddenly plays the theme from "Psycho." Options!!

That was an opportune moment for Slender man to strike.

I'm glad you finally saw the light and found your phone. Next time hopefully you won't get the bright idea to search for your phone while you are holding it.
