Fuck I have lost my phone

Phones gone 😭

Or pretty sure it is. Still in some denial.

Left it last night at Aldi self service and find my phone is showing that as the last location.

Can’t believe I have gone from 7pm to this morning without realising I don’t have it. Swear I saw it last night and nearly went back to put it on charge but remember thinking it will be there tomorrow. It’s not there. And find my iPhone says it was never there. Unless it ran out of battery exactly at checkout which I find hard to believe.

Equally find it hard to believe I didn’t notice I didn’t have it when I got out the car. Very confused but at this point accepting it’s gone.

After flapping round half the morning because it’s disorientating not having it. Try to order a replacement sim. Sends a notification to my lost phone.

Try to order a phone. Can’t log in without notifying my phone.

Cant ring anyone to do this offline.

Lord give me strength!!!

I'm so glad you've found it.

Ahhhhhhahshs · 24/06/2026 23:02

Ooo we are getting closer.

I am not saying until 48 hours unless someone guesses it.

I am giving you the same amount of time it took for me to find it lol 😂

My normal mantra is "check the dressing gown pockets". However it has been so hot I can't believe you have been wearing one. (Unless you aren't in the 90% of the UK or Europe having a heatwave.)

If I had a dressing gown this blatantly wouldn’t have happened. Blame the heatwave!

Under your pillow

Last time I properly lost my phone id put it on the exposed edge of the washing machine. When it did its spin cycle, my phone vibrated itself into the tiny gap between the washing machine and the kitchen worktop.

Found it the next morning when the alarm went off. Its now my go to place to look when I lose my phone because its ended up under there more than once!

Wonderfulequipment · 24/06/2026 23:11

By the loo - someone’s phone is always there in our house 🙄

Natsku · 24/06/2026 23:12

In the toddler's toybox/whatever storage type thing they have

I can't tell you the number of times I've lost my phone and finally realised it was in my hand the whole time

ChunkyMunky · 24/06/2026 23:13

In the washing basket, because you came home feeling all hot and got changed and lobbed the clothes you had been wearing to aldi in the wash.

HellyR · 24/06/2026 23:15

On a black sock drying on a radiator in the bathroom. My phone is black so I can never see it when I do this!

Next to your laptop.

Posted in your letterbox

On top of your car

In bedsheets

Under a book you've been meaning you read

In your child's toybox

BertieBotts · 24/06/2026 23:20

Ooh I was going to guess laundry basket. She said the toilet guesses were close, so I guess - behind the toilet (like famed booble plate of old MN)

Or it's been through the washing machine in a pocket. Guessing a pyjama pocket.

FictionalCharacter · 24/06/2026 23:26

Under the bed
Behind the toilet
In a food cupboard
In the garden

CookiePookie · 25/06/2026 08:01

Does that mean you found it?!

CookiePookie · 25/06/2026 10:27

side pocket of car door or under the car front seat

Settlersa · 25/06/2026 11:51

In the food cupboard since you had been shopping

Ahhhhhhahshs · 25/06/2026 13:47

Clues of the day..
The toddler had posted it….
My suspicions were correct but slightly misplaced

🤣

Treetreetreetree · 25/06/2026 15:09

i found mine posted in the dvd player many years ago. Toddlers are a liability.

Lindy2 · 25/06/2026 15:32

Laundry basket. That's my guess. Toddler height and quite postable.

I found my bank card in our laundry basket once. I was actually on the phone to my bank cancelling it when I said hold on there's just 1 more place I need to look and there it was in a trouser pocket.

In colder weather I'd also agree on dressing gown pocket. I found my car keys there once after a lot of searching. Had popped out to the car early one morning to get something and the keys stayed in the pocket by mistake.

IsThisACrazyThoughtDec25 · 25/06/2026 15:36

Down the back of the loo

Natsku · 25/06/2026 16:28

Toddler posted it in the bathroom bin

I once lost my flat keys, searched everywhere and had to ask my ex's parents for the spare key I gave them. Later on I found my keys, inside a guitar, and then vaguely recalled my drunk brain thinking inside the guitar would be an excellent place to store my keys.
