I lost my phone at the store... [View all]

I am usually very good about putting it back in the pocket of my purse. I pull it out to look at my list or other notes I've made, in this case a very specific light bulb needed, and I try to never set it down on anything.

Got my items and hopped in the car. Noticed that the podcast I had been listening to was not playing. No phone.

Made what was probably an illegal u-turn (I thought there was a left turn lane but it was just one big gore!), zipped back to the store and checked the cart I just left. Nothing. Checked near the register but that didn't make much sense.

Saw a woman with her phone out and asked her to call my phone. She was so nice. She called and we heard disco coming from the bulb section. There was a freestanding cardboard display that was partially covering the shelf WHERE I SET my phone down so it wouldn't have been obvious for anyone to see.

I am not to be trusted.
