...he came home, gets out of his truck, told me he LOST HIS PHONE!!😮🤔 After my death to you look, I simply said, " you were in town, lost your phone, and you are HERE"??? Not a flip phone, the phone with a ridiculous amount of information on it!! So I started my car, went in to change clothes and he actually followed me, then said I would never be able to find it !! So I thought, if I kill him now the police might inhibit me from finding the phone! He started to say he would drive me down there!! Before he could get the sentence out, I simply said, " shut up, I'll be back shortly with your ****** phone! I found his phone in the parking lot where he worked today, retrieved it and drove home! He is alive and realizes my hard day did NOT need dumbassness to top it off! I WILL have very extra special treatment for a while!!
 
You were so lucky to find it! And he is lucky to be alive! ha ha!

I must have dropped my phone last summer, getting into my car in front of my house, more than a year ago, and I never recovered it. I live on a very busy street with lots of traffic from cars and foot traffic as well. I went back to an older phone that I had and actually like better. When I took my phone in to get a new SIMS card, they told me my ID was expired!!! Omg! Daughter, who is on my account, had to go with me to get my phone working, and then I had to go spend time at DMV! So much fun, not!
 
My hubby broke his beyond being able to adequately function and I had to take him to get a new one last week......right away of coarse. I said "why don't you just go and do it yourself?" Oh, no. Can't do that. He said he didn't know anything about phones and how to get a new one. Yet, I have the flip phone and he has the smart phone.
MEN!

On the other hand, he would have gotten taken for an expensive phone ride had I not gone with him.

ETA: Glad he is still breathing and you aren't in jail.
 
Glad you found it for him, most people cannot live with out their phones. I'm not one of them. I have a burner type flip phone. Usually for husband to call me on if I'm not in the house. Today I shopped, and he called me four times. I did get a call from cousin Wanda this evening on my phone, that was unusual.
I just didn't want anyone getting their hands on the information on the phone!!
 
Dang, you were lucky to find it. Several years ago when I was flying home from work I had a long layover in Dubai. I sat my phone down on the seat next to me, not thinking I got up and walked around the airport. About an hour later I noticed it was gone. I retraced my steps and found still on the seat where I left it. Fortunately the phone was black and the seat was black and nobody noticed it.

I am, "The Finder of Lost Things"! 😉
 
I lost my phone recently for over a week. It had fallen in the car next to the seat. Couldn't call it because the battery died. Didn't miss it.
I did the same thing. It must've been gone for at least a few days before I even noticed it, but I had only gone to the office and back home so I knew it was somewhere close but couldn't call it b/c it was dead. There was really no where weird that it could be. One day while I was driving and hubby was in the passengers seat, he reached back to get something from the back seat and saw my phone stuck in the rear side door next to the water bottle holder.
 
lol--im so glad i dont have one of them phone things, a modern device to make life easier but i think was created to become an addiction. i know some folks who really cant function without, its like they lost their kid or something.
im waitng for that meteor to hit and knock us back to the 1700s. gonna be messy for awhile but w'll make it. well most of us.

Today was definitely a special 'husband-phone' day. :)
My phone (which rings maybe twice a month) rang today with somebody I could actually talk to...
My nephew called me (that I haven't heard from in 2 years) and he talked for over a half an hour:oops:.
...No nap today.:mad:
 
Bookmarks and photos is all anyone could get off my phone, if they cracked the code.

I don't do apps and I don't stay logged-in to anything (same with my computer).

You should have trained him better @Pearl ;)
I guess he's a work in progress, lol! Today he will get a screen lock code and "find my device" will be activated!

I don't want to go all 'tracker' on him! There are "family" safety apps too. Find my device is easy enough and will locate and disable the phone from mine if necessary!
