Oh For Fuck Sakes.
Just a caution- I did not watch my language like I usually do.
I had such a nice weekend. I really did. It was really busy, and I didn’t see much of my Glugster, but it was a lekker weekend.
The knucklehead and I even had a fabulous evening out last night. I figured that since I had a bit of cash- which I haven’t had in months- that the knucklehead and I should go and have a bit of a date, just us two. We scooted off to Montecasino and window shopped and had coffee and browsed in Skoobs and saw a movie and made fun of people walking by and went on an arcade ride that was like being on a rollercoaster… We didn’t argue or anything and we really had an awesome evening. We have had a really good few weeks at home, with him thinking before he speaks and handling tricky situations really well and us not fighting, and last night I told him as much while we were out. And I told him I was proud of him and that my Glugster and I had noticed a change. It was one of those perfectly timed moments and it was good.
Then as we decided to head home I stopped to go to the loo. Sadly I can’t hold my Coke like I used to. My phone was just about to fall out of my pocket so I put it on top of the toilet paper dispenser, I didn’t sash it “safely” because my bag was hanging on the back of the toilet door and was out of my reach. When I was finished I grabbed my bag, washed my hands and left. The knucklehead and I strolled to the car while he had a cigarette and as we left Monte I realised my phone wasn’t in my pocket. I asked the knucklehead to check my bag but I knew I’d left it behind. We turned the car around and I ran to the bathroom, but as I knew it would be my phone was gone. The cleaning ladies hadn’t seen anything- or claimed not to have seen anything- and the security guards didn’t know about it either.
I was furious with myself for making such a fucking stupid mistake.
We set off for home again and I called my Glugster on the knucklehead’s phone to ask him to try calling my phone, just in case by some miracle someone would answer and say “Oh hi! Yes! I found it! How can I return it to you!?“. He called several times with no answer, and it then the thief turned it off. Fucking bitch. I hope you slip and fall and MY phone takes your fucking eye out.
When I got home I called my service provider and got them to block my number, and I will now have to go through the schlep of doing a SIM-swap.
Oh joy.
And then to make matters just a wee bit more interesting, I remembered that we chose groceries and fuel over insurance payments when my Glugster was unemployed, and since we’re still playing catch-up we haven’t reinstated it yet. And no, I do not opt for the insurance on my service provider’s contract because I have always had seperate insurance. So no “easy” replacement of my beloved BB Bold 9900.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
I still wasn’t dreadfully upset because I still had my old fucked up BB Bold 9700 stashed in my drawer as a back up for just in case, and since I backed up my Bold 9900 just last week I was just going to get a new SIM & reinstate the backed up information. No problem, right?
Right.
Except that- long story short- I don’t have my old fucked up BB Bold 9700 anymore…
Marvellous.
So now I’m going to be paying off my BB Bold 9700 for the next 18 months because I opted to take a phone that I couldn’t have for free on my contract. I will be paying for a BIS service on my contract that I can’t use. I do have a business phone for my baking, and will be using this Motorola something or other because it can accommodate 2 SIM cards, but I won’t be online very much because I won’t pay my service providers mobile internet fees.
If any of you have me as a BBM contact I suggest you delete me completely as there is the possibility that whoever took my phone will be able to wangle use out of it even if I blacklist it.

I’m really sorry to read about this unfortunate event that have happened. I can imagine how sad you are now that you will not be in contact with the outside world so much anymore
I hope you can resolve this soon. Good luck.

I’m sorry that really sucks. Have you thought about buying a BB from the Junkmail? Dave does it all the time – he got a beautiful purple one for his step-mom. Shall I get him to have a look for you? He’s a first class wheeler-dealer.
Just so you know…the whole world isn’t like that. I once found a very smart phone on the bus in London, I called the last number dialed and posted the phone back to them. I like to think I racked up a few good karma points that day…

Babe, I felt every single WORD of this post. I wish I could send you one of my old mobiles.
Still, something about your posts and reading knucklehead every few sentences makes me giggle. How terrible am I? Love you dearest!
Ah no, that really sucks!! So sorry this happened to you!

I would say fuck allot also. So sorry my friend.
Wow, I would be extremely upset. We had something similar happen about a month ago. I was extremely lucky that who picked it up got it back to me and even made me unlock it in front of him to prove ownership. I know it doesn’t bring yours back but shows not everyone an ass.

I hate it when that happens. The last time I lost my phone I cried to every person I passed on the streets “I lost my phone! Oh my god, I lost my phone!”
One guy responded with “Carphone Warehouse have got a sale.”
I nearly decked him.
I hope your feeling better :S
I wish the world were a better place where people actually gave a crap and had a conscience. Alas, not. Sorry your phone’s gone

I feel for you big time! I believe I said some pretty choice words (and none as mild as ‘f*ck’, lol) when they stole my laptop out of my house. It is not a nice feeling, knowing someone has something so intimate of yours and there is NOTHING you can do about. I also have to still pay off my laptop contract until some time next year. It has taken me a good two months to calm down about the whole thing. @#$%&*!!! a**hole criminals!
There should be a “self destruct if stolen” app. Than they’d be sorry for taking it.
