Money: Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time...

Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time to look for it before work. This evening, my cell phone company calls me to tell me I have six hundred dollars worth of calls to El Salvador that I have to pay for. My cell phone was not misplaced, it was stolen. FML

Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML

Today, after having lost my phone three days ago, I paid a $150 non-refundable fee to have my phone replaced and mailed to me by Tuesday. A half hour later, I found my original phone. FML

Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. 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, my cell phone was stolen. I work in a morgue. By myself. Obviously it wasn't stolen by any of those people. 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 found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

Today, after being upset at the fact that my phone was stolen at work, I received a note on my locker saying, "100 bucks and you get the phone back." My phone is being held for ransom. FML

This happened to me too. I called and reported it stolen immediately, but Verizon still billed me anyway. I had automatic billing so they billed my credit card. I called my credit card company and had them reverse the charge. Then I cancelled the credit card. Verizon sucks, they are still sending me annoying lawyer letters demanding that I pay them the $500 for calls to El Salvador. Hah. I will never pay.

Most providers let you block international calls, FYI.

As a former Customer Care Rep for Nextel, that's total bullshit. It's called taking the time to verify that you actually made the calls... Srsly.

Do you have to pay for it if it's stolen? Who the hell calls El Salvador randomly unless it's like, family or something >.> ouch.

I live in El Salvador, and probably it was stolen by an illegal immigrant who wants to stay up to date with his family members here. It is sad but true, most Salvadorans are thiefs... just look at our president.

#38, the OP figured it was around somewhere. He/she just didn't have time to look for it. Imagine getting ready for work and not being able to find your phone. Wouldn't you just leave without it so that you could make it to work on time? Or would you actually just cancel it right away? I'm willing to bet you'd be more likely to do the former.

Typical ****** thief illegal immigrant calling his 25 kids from some ho. That is why the border should be closed for good, and every single one of them deported.
