I was driving home late last night along a road that's pretty secluded at nighttime. I had to take a piss really bad so I stopped alongside the road instead of rushing home even faster. I hopped over a short wall and started taking my time but I saw some headlights coming along so I quickly finished up and ran back to my car. It wasn't until I turned my car on that I noticed I didn't have my phone. I last had it in the breast pocket of my shirt and it was pretty apparent that it had slipped out when I was bending over or jumping over the wall or something. I go to scrape around in the bushes but it's pitch dark and I can't even position my headlights to help. I try everything I can think of, I even take my shirt off to hold up and try to reflect the light towards the ground. I start thinking about driving home the last 20 minutes, grabbing another phone and coming back to ring it but I remember that my phone was on silent. FUCK.
but then I remember that my android phone has always-listening voice control on it. I turn off my car so it's perfectly silent and yell "OK GOOGLE — WHERE'S MY PHONE". Sure enough my phone starts blaring an alarm/flashes the screen and I'm able to find it a mere five feet away. ahhh phew. I was so relieved. now I just hope it wasn't poison ivy that I was digging through.
