Today, I was at a diner with friends when we decided to put our phones in the middle of the table on the basis that whoever looks at theirs first has to pay. It was going well, until someone rushed up behind me, slammed my face into the table and ran out with our 4 phones. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my friends and I went out to dinner. Being short on cash, I suggested a game where we put our phones in the center of the table and first to check their phone had to pay the bill. Our conversation died out, and fearful of having an awkward silence, I checked my phone. FML
Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML
Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML
Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML
Today, I went to dinner to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I received a text message, so I pulled out my phone to check. Apparently, his parents have a "No phones at the table rule" and took my phone away until I could learn "proper table manners." FML
Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML
Today, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, I went to see a movie but took my phone out a few times to check my socials. Apparently the asshole behind me didn’t like that, because he ripped my phone out of my hands, dropped it in my soda, then just sat back in his seat like nothing happened. FML
Today, I forgot my phone in a restaurant bathroom because I was too distracted trying to steal three rolls of toilet paper without anyone noticing. After sinking that low because I was too broke to buy my own toilet roll, I'm now also in the market for a new phone. FML
Today, I was at work, when I got bored and started spinning around in my chair for a little fun. As I was spinning, I went to grab my phone. I missed and sent my phone flying, hitting my coworker in the face. My boss witnessed the whole thing. FML

Why didn't the other people do anything? Surely four others had time to react?

Did your friends chase that person down? Or anyone at all?

Why did you not just keep your phones in your pocket...and all just watch each other.

And that's why this is a dumb thing to do. Also, why not just pay for yourself? It's a fair system.

How did your friends do nothing about it? Did anyone in the diner try to help? I don't think you'll be eating in that diner any time soon lol. FYL OP

As others have pointed out, the other three just really didn't want to pay for lunch.

My question about the whole phone in basket thing is this. If the teacher made you put the phones in the basket before class and collect them after, why did you not mention to said teacher when the phone was stolen that someone else had taken it? Why did you feel the need to wait until the phones were being collected again to make a whole show of not having a phone to put in the basket? I mean even ignoring the waiting period, when they said " so and so you need to put your phone in the basket/ remember to put it in the basket/ where is your phone for the basket/ etc" you could have just said right off "It was stolen from the basket last class period so I have no idea where it is" .

Put your phones in the middle of the table ? Who came up with that silly idea. If someone would rather check their phone than be in your presence, then I can't imagine why you would hang out with them.
