This incident happened a couple of months back, but still manages to scare the life out of me.
I got myself a slick Sony Ericsson Phone – M600i. I got protective and got a cover as well. This cover happened to have a belt clip. Only, with the cover it was very bulky to fit into my jeans pocket. I decided to try the belt clip, only to be cautioned by my wife that her brother managed to lose his phone when it was on the belt clip. Choosing to disregard this advice, I still put it on and went with her to the movies.
It was only when I came back home that I realized that the phone was no longer on the belt. I managed to run quite amazingly well, considering I generally don’t and everyone around me safely puts me down as lazy. A movie was in progress and the security crew informed me that the cleaning crew had not found anything.
Still wanting to see things with my own eyes, I insisted to be taken to the seat I had occupied. We managed to get some people inconvenienced, but I started breathing normally after I found my phone on the floor beneath the seat! The cover is black in colour and was not seen in the low visibility in the hall by anyone else.
It was quite a humbling experience for me. I had placed more trust in a device than my wife’s advice based on an earlier event. Quite silly, now that I look back at it.
