"Get jacked and be at 87 kgs": A bizarrely specific eight goals for life were the only clue for finding a phone's owner, lost at Perisher ski resort.
Lost property is rarely this cringe.
The owner of a phone left at an Australian skifield with a uniquely “embarrassing screensaver memo” has come forward to collect the device, after his list of eight goals went viral.
The phone left at Australia’s largest resort gave skiers a “good laugh” afterPerisher lift operators shared the ambitious “to do” list that appeared on the device’s screensaver.
After the phone was found “halfway down” Front Valley at Perisher, operators thought sharing the eight-bullet-point list via the resort’s social media page was the best way of tracking down the device’s owner. The phone left at the New South Wales skifield got a lot of attention online.
However, many speculated that nobody would own up to writing the list.
“No one will want to own up to owning this phone,” one comment predicted on the Perisher Facebook post.
The specificity, obsession with university grades and the list’s particular brand of macho energy led many to hypothesise about who the owner might be.
“Oh to be young again to have such life goals,” read one comment.
Perisher Man's oddly specific eight rules for life led him back to the lost phone. The resort wrote its own to-do list.
Others said they would gladly adopt these life goals as their own. “They are phenomenal goals, nothing to be embarrassed about here.”
Remarkably, the ski resort says it has already reunited the phone with its owner.
“Fortunately, we were able to return the phone to its rightful owner and we wish this guest all the best with achieving his goals,” Perisher Ski Resort marketing manager Maddi Ventura said.
On Thursday the resort told news.com.au the owner was delighted to find the phone was safe, and he was pleased to claim it.
“While we don’t know the guest’s reaction to the virality of the phone, we can confirm he was happy to be reunited with his phone. Just a reminder to hold on to your belongings on the slopes!”
