It’s pretty clear that the OP isn’t the sharpest tool in the light bulb box. For starters, they couldn’t tell which of their friend’s phone was missing, even though the name was right there. Second, they texted the missing phone’s number to inform the friend that their phone was missing, even though it was already established that the phone was not in the hands of said friend.
We imagine the person who found Gene’s phone was probably facepalming themselves so hard that they concussed themselves. To be honest, we would probably make the same mistake as the OP. Don’t blame us, we’re not rocket surgeons!
