Hubby almost died today...

[Pearl]

...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!

 

[Peepaw from Tex]

You are being too hard on him. Everyone knows a man can't find his azz with both hands. Something just blocks our vision when we are looking for things.

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.

 

[Pearl]

I'm just surprised he actually came home without it!! The, it's in town and you are here thing just didn't make sense!! I felt like I failed after 32+ years!!

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.

 

[Amish Heart]

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.

 

[Amish Heart]

Husband is glued to his phone. I figure if someone needs me, they can call him.

 

[jazzy]

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.
...No nap today.

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

That statement is false! I tested it out & found my azz. It did take me 7 minutes & 3 tried but I did find it!

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!

Mine is too big to hide

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

My hubby keeps washing his; three so far. He can't seem to check his pockets. Mine is a cheap piece of crap that functions mostly as an alarm clock. No apps,no nothing.

 

[old tex]

If my wife was here she would say that she knows right where her azz is................& point to me.

 

[Weedygarden]

Thanks for the laughs! They are so good for us!

I lost my phone in my hometown a number of years ago. It was before my dog care business, so I didn't really miss it and I still had a land line. I had been staying with my cousin and his wife. I was there for the annual big weekend celebration in June that includes many activities: parade, dances, performances, all school reunion lunch (500 people), class reunions, art show, rodeos, runs, demolition derbies, on and on.

I went to the historical society building where my g grandmother's photo is hanging as well as a trunk that my g grandfather made before they left Bohemia, used to bring their things to America. There were a few people there that I knew from h.s. and others, visiting, and I hung out there for a while. It was there that I left my phone, but I didn't realize it. Hours later I couldn't find my phone. No idea where I left it. I drove back to Colorado, and carried on with life, just using my land line. I had had a mobile phone for more than a decade at this point in time, but somehow, just wasn't that in need of replacing it. About 6 months later, I got an email from someone in hometown. My phone had been found at the Historical Society. She took it home, charged it, and came up with me being the owner. She sent it to me in the mail and I sent her a thank you with some money to cover the shipping cost.

A mobile phone is really helpful when you are road tripping, have car trouble, get caught up in traffic, etc. My phone is used mostly for dog care requests and sharing information related to my business.

Reminds me of the huge motorola flip phone days, I would set mine on the top of my service truck above the tool box, Pre call display days, so if I was close I could grab it. The parts store was about a block away from one of my main customers yard, I would pack up and go to get parts, half the time, left the phone on the service body, it would fall off as I pulled into the parking lot, It became a standing joke for who ever picked it up , to say , its for you , and hand it to me, if it was a slow day in the store one of the parts people would call it as the other guy came in the door. That led to people giving me their old phones , same model , so I kept them for years until call display became a nessesity.

Glad you didn't kill him, you may need his soc security one day...

Me, I use a $29 Walmart flip phone (used to be $9). Just swap my sim card and the phone co doesn't know it's not a $1,500 rip off phone. It rings, I answer.

 

[Pearl]

Our phones are our computers, we won't pay for Internet or TV! His doesn't have a smidgen of what mine has on it, but I sure wouldn't want someone else getting their hands on it!! I didn't care if it was run over or destroyed, I just needed it in my possession!!
