I'm assuming everyone has lost or at misplaced their cell phone at some point. Normally, mine is either in the car or buried too deep in a purse. This past Saturday, DH and I were loading the car to come down to the Outer Banks for our annual week away in Oct. All was packed, loaded, fed, watered, locked up, etc... when I went to grab my phone. No phone. No phone??? I started running around like mad, checking the car, dumping out my purse, checking my office, Doug's office, etc... no phone. We are standing in the kitchen when I ask DH to call my cell. I can BARELY, BARELY hear it, so I go down the hall checking every crevice. Nothing. Back the other way, I can BARELY hear it as I approach the kitchen but lose it again as I leave that area.

Desperate, I open the fridge. BINGO. There in the fridge, inside the front pouch of my Leerburg dog treat bag, is my phone. :-)

Had I not been standing RIGHT by the fridge when we tried calling my phone, I NEVER would have thought of looking there!! LOL!

Where is the strangest place you have lost/found your cell phone? (Which causes me to remember why we never lost the early cell phones... our first was about the size of a cinder block - no kidding.)

Port - a - Potty at a horse show...
I was calling it with a friends' phone to locate and someone picked up - from inside the port - a - potty.
I used about 15 baby wipes (all I had at the moment) when I got it back.

EEWWwwwwww!! At least mine was only COLD!!

don't say ya didn't ask...

I'm finding other people's phones inside the mail processing machinery and vacuum systems. They usually don't want the pieces back

Hubby left our portable phone on the bumper of my Suburban once...never found it though.

WE were camping one weekend and when I woke up in the morning I couldn't find the phone anywhere. Finally I got tired of looking and decided to make breakfast.

It was in the cooler, I must have tossed in there when I was cleaning up before I went to bed....needless to say we had to replace it, as ice water isn't good for phones.

I also dropped one in my drink at a restaurant not that long ago. I was reaching across the table to hand it back to Chad and lost my grip on it.

What's a cell phone?

What's a cell phone?

An intrusive pain in the *** to be ignored if by accident it was actually turned on.

I'm notoriously difficult about the phone...I NEVER answer it. I have it turned on, but the ring is always off. I'm just curious about who might want to try to reach me, and why. If they leave an intriguing, important or interesting message I MAY call back, but there are no guarantees. I also like to have it in case I need it in an emergency.

Once I left my cell on top of my car, and it was still there when I got home ten miles later.
