so i've been despondantly calling my phone ever since last night, and every time has been the same: goes to voicemail. my phone wasn't off when i lost it, and it had loads of batteries, so i took this as a very bad sign that someone had already found it, taken out the sim chip, and was living happily ever after with a new razr.
i was trying not to give up entirely until i had a chance to call the bar when they opened this afternoon, which they just did. so i called. no phone. despair.
i sadly called my number one last time, just in case.
SOMEONE PICKED UP.
the station manager at the vienna metro stop (last stop on the line, the one after where i get off) has my phone. i guess he turned it off all day? not sure why exactly, but I DON'T CARE I'M GETTING MY PHONE BACK THANK YOU HOLY DIVINITY ENTITIES and so sorry to badmouth you, karma.
i am exhausted from being so stressed all day long :-) but i don't care MY PHONE IS SAFE aahhhhhhhhhhhh....
Woo Hoo! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me last year, but a guy that only spoke spanish picked it up. It was tough to get back from him, but I did.
Great news!
ReplyDeleteand good luck when the bill comes.
I lost my phone a month ago and when I finally got through to it on my roommates phone, the people only spoke Chinese! Obviously. But I still got it back cause it turned out it they were my neighbors.
ReplyDeleteNICE! Hooray!!
ReplyDeleteLosing your phone is such a pain... between trying to figure out if a good soul or a greedy soul picked it up, and not having ANY way of communicating with ...like... everyone you ever knew! What a mess.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting it back!
I'd say you've been doing something nice for Karma to return your phone.
ReplyDeleteHave you been hanging out with Earl Hickey?
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate when I lose something so important. It's so depressing.
way cool! I could lose my phone, but my Daytimer? eeeeeek!
ReplyDeletei have about 4 bajillion rollover minutes currently... there is nothing anyone could do in 1 day to up my bill. i thought about cancelling service to my phone immediately when i lost it, but then realized i don't pay for roaming, there are literally not enough minutes in a day to use mine up... so i kept service active in case they called me or ended up picking up ever (which they did, obviously, so it was worth it!)
ReplyDeletePhone dependency is a terrible thing. May I suggest an addiction councillor. Or at least you try to wean yourself off on to something less irritating to the rest of society - like heroine.
ReplyDeleteHooray! Maybe he was preserving your battery... Yay!!!!
ReplyDeletewhoooo im the first time on this blog yeeaahhje! Nice name of your blog. Glock
ReplyDeleteDo this site more psychadelic.
Doo Doo and Feeces.
My Name is "The Truth"
Good for you Alice you could use the luck.
ReplyDeleteThank God for being Sadly....
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I once lost my beeper (neepers were in, so it was a while ago) in NYC and I paged myself and someone rang me back and arranged to meet me and give it to me?
ReplyDeleteAnd yet...I lost my mobile phone in Orlando a few years back and when I rang it someone picked up and when I asked to speak to myself (lol) he said it was his phone.
Idiot. I cancelled the service immediately. Why would they want a phone? You get them for free off the service provider. The expensive part is the actual service.
Sorry to hear you are having to go through this :(
