Today, I spent 300 dollars making colored flyers for my iPhone that I lost. On the flyer I wrote for whoever found it to call me and I would give a reward. I wrote the phone number of my iPhone that I lost. 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 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 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, 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

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 lost my phone. I called the number from my friend's phone, hoping I could find it. A guy answered, laughed "Thanks for the phone!" and hung up. FML

it is possible that he had valuable information on there (contacts, photos, notes, etc, that were not synced to their computer for some reason), bu spending 300 dollars on colored fliers seems a little absurd. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an exaggerated figure (by a few hundred). Guy seems like he deserves this one though.

since everyone else already pointed out how dumb it was to spend $300 on fliers, i'd just like to point out that you're probably never going to see that phone again. when you own something that EVERYONE wants, don't lose it.

If someone finds your phone and realizes it's the same number as the flyer, they can just look in your contacts and either find a number that says "home" or just call someone on your list and ask them how to get hold of you.

Why didn't you just post this instead: "Today I realized I'm not very smart. I spent $300 to advertise about the $300 phone I lost. The end." FYL? Of course, but only because you can't fix dumb.
