Today, while out hiking, my phone slipped out of my pocket. I caught it and gave it to my little cousin, giving her a "special mission" to keep it safe. When we got back to our cars later, I asked her for my phone back. Turns out she left it under a shrub back in the hills so it'd be "safe." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, while on vacation with my family, my mother told me to put my phone in her purse, so it wouldn't get stolen. Someone stole her purse. FML
Today, I handed my friend his phone, telling him he'd forgotten it. He responded by taking his phone out of his pocket and showing it to me. I then realized I was holding MY phone. 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 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, I handed my mother-in-law my phone to see the toy that I was going to get for my nephew. While she had the phone, it swiped away to my last search of… vibrators and sex toys. I have no idea if she saw it before she handed me my phone back, saying, "It went away." FML
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
Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML
Today, the snowblower found my lost phone. FML

Do you think if he did he would post it on FML?

The FML could be that he had to go back and retrace his steps to find it.

Hey the extra exercise is good for you

Im wondering why op even bought their phone on a hiking trip. I understand there's the case of an emergency but I'm given the impression op is only a teen, so an adult would be responsible for all of that. Idk could be wrong

I usually take mine so I can take pictures.

oh of course. How dumb of me. I have a friend that I sometimes go hiking with along with her parents. All she does is Facebook people though which is really irritating so that was my first impression when I read this fml haha.

You shouldn't have given such a mission to your "special" cousin ;)

#31, you are right. I do feel bad about that, but the joke was just hanging out there and I had to bring it to you. I give, and I give, and I give.

31- I just stalked your profile... And ohmigosh you like rise against.-. Sorry... Just decided to share a little love^.^ But, perdix... How cruel!._.

61 I read circlejerk, then looked at your pic.. Don't know wether I wether should laugh or be disturbed.

But it wasn't funny...because the OP gave the phone to his clearly very young cousin for no discernible reason, making him the special one...no truth, no humor...
lilhellian 27
I know the history and all but the way the mask is.. It's hard to not see that.. And with the dark side its still slightly funny lol...

My comment was in response to #31, not you, TheIsland.

Somewhere there is an otter that suddenly blast xylophone from time to time.

and thats why you don't send a little girl to do a mans job. Cuz we have pockets.

So your logic was that a little kid would keep it safer than you? Well OP at least you're very trusting. (:
konstantinos616 17
Little kids always hide things to keep them "safe." Be more specific next time. Sucks that you lost your phone though.

I would actually probably suggest not giving the phone to your younger cousin in the first place.
