Craziest place you've found your cell phone

[Anne MN]

The funniest place I have found my phone-
inbetween the matress/boxspring on my kids bed!
I put my phone down,left it unlocked, and walked away- kids grabbed it to play games, I went looking for it. Someone from work called me and with my ringtone, you can't mistake it for anything else (it has almost gotten me in trouble- I keep the volume all the way up and the ringtone is obnixous!)
I keep it loud because I am on call and will get calls at 2am to go into work (ya, not so fun)
I have also found my phone in the freezer, the dishwasher(hadn't been run yet!) the garage with the tools, under the car, in the kids room with all the stuffed animals just to name a few!

I was getting ready to leave the house and was getting very annoyed because I couldn't find my cell. I then said something like..."Dang it, I'm going to be late, where in the world is my stupid cell phone anyway?!?!"

And my sister said..."You're holding it. And talking to me. "

In my bra. I hid it from my nephew (who was 5 at the time but liked calling people on the phone) by sticking it in my bra and forgot about it.

My dh left his on top of the car we NEVER did find that darn thing. I was leaving for work and dh went and put gas in the car came back left it running and put his phone on top of the car, I drove to work! Rest is history.

Oh I did that once. Hands were full so put my phone on the roof and drove off. When I was pulled up at some lights these kids were pointing to the roof of my car but I just thought they were being kids. I drove off and when I was doing about 70 miles I head something hit my back window of my car. I looked and saw nothing and kept driving. Long story short about 30mins later I put two and two together and realised what hit my car. I did rescue my phone - but it was smashed to bits. However the case was perfectly fine!


I was once packing boxes at work to ship to Ukraine. My work phone rung and I answered it and continued to pack the boxes (and my phone). My assistant found the phone when she double checked all the paperwork was in the boxes. Has she never done that my phone would have been in Ukraine 24 hours later.

My DD lost her cell phone at the the Natural History Smithsonian. We went back the next morning to see if anyone had turned it in and I could not believe that is was there. She is one lucky girl.

I finally added a wrist strap to mine just so I would stop putting it down places.

I just stumbled upn this thread and I'm glad I did! These are some great sories!

One night I couldn't find my phone, and I was searching all over the house. Any time I can't find something, my first thought is, "Oh, no, I hope I didn't throw it away!" Well, luckily, as far as I know, that hasn't happened. But this time, after looking everyhwere, I asked my DH to call my number from his phone. As we walked down the driveway, I heard my big garbage can ringing on the curb. Lifted the lid, and sure enough, it was coming from there. It was only hours from going to the landfill!

I've never misplaced mine. Now my wife and son are constantly are looking for theirs. Course my wife is always misplacing her rings, keys, etc.

DH hauls grain and fertilizer- he was in his grain trailer sweeping out out the hoppers and into the pit when his phone fell out of his pocket. It went down the pit...and into one of those giant grain bins at the elevator. No way to retrieve. It was probably eventually loaded onto a train car and taken away to be made into corn flakes.

I lose mine in my pocketbook! My stupid bag is so big that I will search and search for my phone and not find it and then go into panic mode. Then I'll call it and sure enough, my pocketbook will be ringing. I do it at least once a week

You can not be serious! There is No Way you were still using that thing five years ago, 15 I'll believe!

Dead serious. Got it in 1990. Most folks refered to cellular phones as car phones back then because that's the only place you used them.

To be honest, even today, the only time I use a cell phone is in the car, I have a hard wired phone at word and home.
