Today, I received a prank phone call that woke me up. I actually kept them on the line because they were the first person to call me in weeks. FML

Today, the highlight of my day was someone prank-calling me. FML
Today, I got a prank call. I now wish he'd call back so I can actually talk to someone. FML
Today, I received a drunken prank call from a girl I didn't know around 1am. I don't know what's sadder, that I carried out the conversation for 30 minutes, or that this was the first girl to call me in over a year. FML
Today, the only person I actually spoke with was a prank caller. I tried to have a conversation with him, but he hung up on me. FML
Today, the phone kept ringing so I picked it up and answered. When there was no response, it took a minute to realize that I was still in bed and talking to my hand. FML
Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML
Today, I was having a beautiful lucid dream when a telemarketer called at 5AM, waking me up. I silenced my phone and went back to sleep, and was somehow able to resume my lucid dream. Then my phone vibrated me awake. It was the same telemarketer, this time calling at 7AM. FML
Today, I was having trouble sleeping, and I was almost asleep when I got a call from one of those spam places. They left a voicemail, which I made the mistake of listening to. The voice was so slowed down, it was very creepy, especially late at night. I don't think I'll be sleeping at all tonight. FML
Today, while lifeguarding, I received six prank phone calls on the official pool phone. When it rang again, I picked it up, told them to go fuck themselves, hung up, and then left the phone off the hook. A second later, my cellphone rang. It was my boss, telling me to get a sense of humor. FML
Today, I got a call from the girl I like. I got very excited so I quickly picked up. As it turns out, she was actually prank calling me, pretending to be a "liposuction telemarketer" but forgot to press *67. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can always add yourself to local church group's calling lists. They'll talk to you all the time!

Some people are just really bad at making friends and extremely shy. They might also not want to call others unless they know they are friends because they don't want to 'annoy'. Even if it was a lack of effort on OP's part, the feeling of complete loneliness is one of the worst possible feelings.

I never understand these kinds of FMLs. Doesn't your family call you at least?? It must be so lonely :(

Im sorry OP. Can you call someone?

I agree. Last I heard, phones usually "dial out" too. OP should just call everyone on their phone list and if they're not there, leave a message to call you back. If no one returns the calls-- only then will I feel sorry for them.

So YOU can't call someone ?

Sometimes there's no one to call..

That's bull there is always someone to call people are just lazy and they don't want to put the effort in. You can't complain about something if you do the same exact thing

And like I said before this bull because there is always someone to call ! People are to lazy to make any effort to communicate with one another. And you can't complain about something if you do the same thing !

Sometimes people want to be wanted, it's not so much that OP has no one to talk to, nobody wants to talk to OP :(

Who you gonna call? Ghost busters!

maybe take into consideration that OP could be an asshole? maybe op is just not very nice and unpleasant. or maybe op is really nice and in that case this is sad, try calling someone for a change op?

I never get called but that's because everyone seems to use Facebook as their main source of communication.

I'm glad I don't have a Facebook for that reason. I like getting phone calls from people in my life. I also enjoy calling them as well. Nothing beats a good ol' fashion phone call.

AW OP that really sucks, maybe you could try hooking up with some friends from school? idk, that really sucks tho, I feel ya. my mother doesn't even call me
gloooooria 14
Call her and say hello! :) My mom doesn't call me because she says I'm always busy when she does, which is true. So I call her when I can and we're both happy ;)

OP, you need to get out there and make some friends! We're all nice here, except when we're belittling other op's! Take a chance once in awhile and meet someone!

People don't call me either. But I don't think I'd ever talk to a prank caller after they woke me up. I'd hang up and go back to sleep. After a few choice swears.

You don't have telemarketers calling and bothering you? Consider yourself lucky.
