Miscellaneous: Today, I have no cell phone reception as I am visiting family...

Today, I have no cell phone reception as I am visiting family who lives on the side of a mountain. They told me there was service on top of the mountain, so I hiked up. Only when I got there did I realize I'd left my phone back down at the house. FML

Today, I went to work 300 miles away from where I live. I couldn't find my customer's address, so I decided to call him. I'd picked up my wireless house phone instead of my mobile. FML

Today, I lost my phone during a hike up Mount Washington. Luckily, it was reported to the office, and they called my wife. Too bad we had already been driving for at least four hours. FML

Today, I told my mom I was going hiking with a couple of friends and wouldn't be back for four or more hours. Not even two hours later, she called the cops and reported us as missing. She didn't realize that we wouldn't have service up the canyon so we could call her back. 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 noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML

Today, while visiting family, we went to a restaurant to eat. Towards the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, everyone was gone. Everyone had actually gotten into their cars and left without me. I have no idea where I am and no one is answering their phone. FML

Today, I got better phone reception crossing an inlet on a ferry than I normally do at my own house. FML

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

it's not going to kill you to go a few hours without the phone. And if it does YDI for not bringing a first aid kid.

I think my issue with this is that the OP makes it seem the ONLY reason for hiking is to make a call on their cell. If that was your main purpose how could you forget your phone? Wouldn't that be the thing you check, recheck and triple check you bring? Now if the OP was just going on a hike with the fam and left their phone at home I get that. It must suck. However, the way it is written it seems like the only motivation for a hike was to use their phone and in that case the OP deserves it.

So what? You can't go a few hours without checking your friends facebook updates and texts? YDI. Of course it could have been worse you know. You could have gotten to the top of the mountain, held the phone up for signal and then dropped it down the side of the mountain.
