    I love taking advantage of that whole “where’s my phone” panic.

    Say we go grab a beer after work. I’ll take a picture of your phone when you go to the restroom, and then after you go home, I’ll send you a text with the picture of your phone saying “you forgot your phone.” People seem to forget they’ve received that text…on their phone.

    Another one i did once was after meeting my gf for lunch, she had school and i had work. We’re side-by-side at a red light, so i call her and ask if she knows where she put her phone. And i watched through the window as she proceeded her tear her car to ribbons as she can’t find her phone in her car. My giggles are what gave the game away.

    My wife forgot her phone the other day. I text her “hey, I found your phone” and then think a few minutes about why i should find better things to do

    Years ago when I was a late teen and living at my mother’s, she was at work as a cashier. She called my one morning and this was the conversation : Mom - do me a favor, go into my bedroom my phone should be on the nightstand. Can you grab it and bring it to me?

    Me - you’re at work on break right?

    Mom - yeah

    Me - how are you calling me?

    Mom - silence

    Mom - nevermind, I have it…

    Reminds me of when I was working in construction. I’d keep a pencil behind my ear for marking things. One day I had finished marking things and I went to put my pencil back behind my ear, but there was already a pencil there. Not sure how that happened but lucky for me I have two ears.

      More than once, I’ve packed a bowl, only to need search and rescue to locate the suddenly missing lighter. That I’m clutching. In my hand…

    Like trying to find the pair of glasses you’re currently wearing. Although glasses might be worse, cause eventually I’ll realize my phone is already in my hand. Glasses not so much…

    I did something like this once. I was talking to a buddy I the phone, and freaked out because I couldn’t find my phone to look something up.

    I chalk it up to how ubiquitous the device itself is, and how little I use it as an actual phone.
