So yeah, that is where my cell phone fell into.
That was the smartest thing I've ever done.

Have you guys lost things in bizarre ways?

My sister lost her cell phone on the beach, I... haven't.

I tend to keep a hold on of my stuff. Granted, some of it just vanishes, but that can't really be helped.

Over here, it goes into the ocean.

The system probably leads to it eventually.

Here's hoping seals don't eat it

The first cell phone I had vanished.

I think it's in the bed in the guest bedroom, but I haven't checked there yet (due to lazyness, or something).

How about half of my N64 games?
Having a garbage can below the shelf where they all sit is a bad idea...

I've never really lost things in strange ways.
Although, many of my things have vanished. All of my Gameboy games and almost all of my Gameboy Color games have been gone for years, among other things.
Strangely, I've never lost a game for any other system. :/
EDIT: Actually, I still have one Gameboy game left. (Link's Awakening) I found it in my unused Gameboy Color.

I lost my Nintendo DS AC adapter (battery recharger) on New Years when getting back home from my grandparents ... found it back earlier this week, in my shoes

I lost one of my DS chargers for a while, only to be found in the little pot full of stuff for hair .

I also left one of my GameBoy Color games at my cousins house, but when I went to look for it, I found it broken. I guess someone decided to break it. Too bad I was unable to play it anymore .

I dropped my cell-phone on the Red Line (rapid transit- subway electrified by third rail) tracks at Park Street last summer... though, I managed to get the cell-phone back, even after a train ran over it, and it still works, so I guess I was lucky then (probably caused some people some five-minute delays as they had to turn off the third rail to go down into the tracks, but I doubt anyone noticed since the trains are always late anyway)

unless your phone lands on the track itself, it is highly unlikely that it would be damaged by a train running over it.

anyways, I have a cell phone again, albeit the exact same model thanks to a fortunate ebay purchase I did back in january. I am relieved to know that Sprint did not renew my contract nor charged me an activation fee.

I dropped my cellphone into a ditch right next to a storm drain once when I was drunk. Found it again the next day, and once it dried up, it worked just fine. I have never lost anything otherwise, as I am always very careful about all my belongings.

Well, I myself lose a pen at least twice a week. I don't really lose expensive stuff all that often, although my father did. Our car radio was ripped out of our car a few years ago (still not fixed, shame shame shame) and a week thereafter, he accidentally dropped his cell phone in the hole that was left behind, leading to a practical unreachable place in the car... lol.

Lately there have been tons of commercials on TV where I live that talk about water, ways to conserve it, and why it's ok to drink tap water. According to the commercial all of the water that goes down the storm drains here goes out into Lake Ontario

The same thing that happened to Spontaneous Madness (having something fall into the trash can and not realize it) also happened to be although it wasn't really anything that was a big deal.

I always lose whatever Nintendo power magazine I'm looking for when playing older games. I can never find the one that I need now, but can always find the ones for games that I had been playing and couldn't find that magazine for before.

Also when I was much younger I lost one of my Beanie Babies for a long while and found him under the corner of my mattress a couple months later. Go figure.
