Weirdest place you've found your lost phone or remote?
I just found the missing phone where we keep games. Since noone has played a game this week, it's pretty strange. I've found the remote in the refrigerator. :shrug: Anyone find theirs in a weird place?

1. Someone else found their tv remote in the fridge?
Whoda thunk it?

Have no idea how it got there. These newfangled tv's are useless w/o a remote. If you have digital cable: forget it.

2. I found my phone in a kitchen cupboard once.
I spent about a day and a half looking for it. I guess I finished talking to somebody when I was standing in the kitchen and, well...:shrug:

6. Cordless phone disappeared for three months
It disappeared at the end of May. We looked everywhere. Finally gave up and bought a new phone. In September, my son's GF found it in her school bookbag. It got in there (who knows how) and she didn't look in the bag until school started in the fall.

8. LOL--My longest time with a phone lost is a week
I've completely lost a remote or two. The problem I've had is that if you lose it for too long then it won't ring. When I lose the phone, we call our number and everyone runs around the house looking for it. Of course, I always blame my daughters except sometimes I find it in my room. :blush:

7. I found my cordless phone in the compost pile once
I've found the remote in the freeze (near the ice cream) and on the top shelf of the dishwasher before.

13. haven't lost my phone
but I found a very nice on on a gas pump and took it, waiting for it to ring so I could find out whose it was. Alas, it was the guy's mom and initially I alarmed her - WHO ARE YOU she kept asking and I had to calm her down to explain I had found his phone. He called me soom after. :o

14. Still looking for the freaking remote! Dammit.
I wish it had one of those 'flash' buttons like the cordless phone.
