One time I was on a call and started panicking because I couldn't find my phone. I expressed this panic to the other end of the line, increasingly anxious, until he went "dreamer, it's in your hand"
"Oh."
I did a similar thing. I was talking to my friend through my headphones as I was getting ready to leave the house and put my phone in my hoodie pocket. Then I put my rain coat over my hoodie and left. 5 minutes later I freaked out when I couldn't find my phone in my rain coat pocket. My friend reassured me that I must have it because I was still talking to her but I didn't remember what I'd done until I took my rain coat off. Was a weird experience and one that made me realise how dependent I was on my phone.
Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.
