Smartphone and Garden: Mowed down

Mowed down

By ThatsNotGrass - 10/08/2014 01:30 - Canada

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 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

Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML

Today, I was taking my phone out of my pocket when it caught on the fabric and began to fall. I managed to catch it, but also smacked myself in the balls in the process. FML

Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML

Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weedwacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgetting that I am mowing where the dogs go to the restroom, I absent-mindedly weedwack over dog poop. Which got flung into my face. FML

Today, I ran out of breath while mowing the lawn. I was on a riding lawn mower. 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

Out of pocket

Today, I was running late for work and threw on the first pair of pants I could find. Halfway through the day, I realized the pants didn’t have pockets, but it was too late. I had to carry my phone, keys, wallet, and coffee mug in my hands like some sort of deranged juggler every time I moved. FML

Today, I did my workout at the gym instead of at home as I usually do, since I'm paranoid about people seeing up my shorts. I told myself to get over it, because it's impossible. After my extensive workout, I realized that there was a hole in the crotch of my shorts. FML

Today, I carried my golf bag from the club house to my car. When I got there, my rear pocket got caught in a zipper on the bag. I couldn't get them separated. I had to take my pants off to fix it. Yes, three couples walked by, pretending not to notice. Had it not happened to me, I would not believe this story. FML

I did something similar except mine involved dropping my phone down a public toilet. I'm sorry about your phone.

The only thing similar about your situation is the death of a phone.

Couldn't you have just not brought it with you? It's not like you were going to use it much while preoccupied. Bit of an FYL and a YDI on your end.

Next time wear long pants and leave phone in house. I imagine you mobile died. Hope the SIM card survived the mowing

I wear pants while mowing to protect my shins, but there's lots of tiny things in my lawn that hurt on unprotected shins

Should always wear pants and shoes that cover your toes when mowing the lawn. Never know what can be hiding in the grass that can be kicked up, like rocks. Or pieces of metal that belonged to a once in-tact toy car, which is no longer recognizable due to being run over by a mower...
