The Emotional Life-Cycle Of Losing Your Phone

That unbearable moment when you can't find your phone, it's utterly heart breaking to say the least and sadly we've all been there. Here's the emotional life cycle you go through when you've lost your phone..

1. Panic

You've patted down your pockets and realised you don't feel your phone

2. Anxious

You slowly empty the contents of your pockets and bag hoping its secretly hidden in there...

3. Suspicious

You're convinced you've been robbed... It's better than facing the fact that you were stupid enough to lose it! Now everyone becomes a suspect

4. Frantic

You run desperately back to the last place you had it and hope that it's still there

5. Hysteria

When your phone is not where you thought you left it!

6. Horrified

When you think of how you've also lost all your messages/pictures/phone numbers

7.  Increased hysteria

You're starting to feel like you're on an episode of 'Without A Trace'

8. Despair

As you continuously call the phone hoping someone will answer

9. Embarrassed

As you ask anyone within a ten mile radius have they seen your phone

10. Determined

You try your best to turn into a detective and log onto find my iPhone full of hope and determination before you realise it's shit and does not work unless your lost phone is connected to WiFi...

So this can eventually end one of two ways,

Immense Pleasure

As thankfully someone belonging to the rare kind of humanity found it and handed it in somewhere and you promise to love and care for your phone like never before and never let it out of your sight again.

Grief- stricken

As the reality sets in and you have to come to terms with the fact you're not getting your phone back and even worse someone else got a free phone from your stupidity. So you are forced to go home and use an old nokia from the stone age and hope Santa is generous this year.
