Today, I was waiting at home for a phone call. While I was in the bathroom, the phone rang. I quickly stopped my business and ran out of the bathroom with my pants by my ankles. I leaped over the couch, tripping and then stubbing my toe while hopping to the phone. It was a telemarketer. FML

Well maybe the caller only had his house phone and how was he to know they would call when he had to do his stuff, maybe he rushed to the bathroom. Not saying I disagree with you, I hate handing out my home number since I know there's a chance people can't reach me or I won't hear it but there's a lot of possibilities as to why it happened the way it did.

Ew. o.O
"I mean I woke up and I shit a squirrel. I mean it. Literally. And the hell of it is- the damn thing's still alive. So now I got this shit-covered squirrel sittin' down in the office. Don't know what to name it."
"Sorry, Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel."

Dude. They're not gonna bring their freaking CELL into the BATHROOM.

most people tend to keep their cell phone in their pocket so...

I always have my cell with me, even in the bathroom.. I usually place it next to the sink or on top of the toilet tank, so that it doesn't fall out of my back pocket. I thought most people did that..?

I always wondered how things can fall out of one's back pocket into the toilet unless he/she craps with their pants on?
It can happen while you're pulling your pants down... Personally (sorry if TMI), I don't pull my pants down, then sit; I do it in one swift motion where I'm pulling my pants down as my butt is already hanging over the toilet.. so a phone could easily slip out.

Sorry is this TMI, when the poop doesn't come out I sing to it. "Come on turtle head you can do it!" And then, my god this isn't too much is it? No, you look a little peaked. Anyways, sometimes I ask the person sitting next to me if they name their shits, like #2 or the almighty ass stretcher or something like that. Anyways, if it is a good one I take pictures. I have one that looks like Pikachu and one in the shape of Texas. i even go through other people's poop. I learned my boyfriend likes boys that way--don't ask--and well... wait...where are you going...?
Sigh. I lose more friends that way.
I second that. So goddam annoying and they never shut up!

Ok, anybody who suggests this woman should bring her cell into the bathroom with her clearly isn't reading the post correctly. It says she was "waiting at home", which clearly means it was a call to her house and not her cell. Who waits around at home for a cell phone call?! And MAYBE, she doesn't have a cordless phone. Half the phones in my house have cords, so you can't take them in the bathroom. Besides, who wants to answer the phone while peeing? What if the person on the other line hears the tinkling? Exactly.

That's Murphy's law for you. Whenever you wait for a massive important phone call, you'll get a bazillion crap calls.

Wow, you stubbed your toe. Big fucking deal. How is your life fucked?
#26 - On 11/08/2009 at 7:55pm by Byrnevictim
The trail of shit from the restroom to the phone isn't gonna be too fun to clean up. And he had to listen to a telemarketer! How is his life not fucked?
#28 - On 11/08/2009 at 8:01pm by seanreddog
Hahahaha. That's why you take the phone into the bathroom with you.

sigh all u guys actually believe this persons series of unfortunate events.
op ur lame, go run into a knife
LOL, now you have shit all over your couch...idiot...cordless phones and really when your expecting a call from your mom you shouldn't be rubbing one out...
Most phones are cordless nowadays, so bringing it with you into the bathroom wouldn't be too difficult.

He didn't say he shit all over the floor. He's not that fucking dumb. And who the fuck listens to a telemarketer? You either have caller ID or tell them to go fuck themselves and hang up. OP is a whiney bitch.
#34 - On 11/08/2009 at 9:14pm by Byrnevictim
why would the op even bother answering the phone? if I'm in the bathroom and somebody calls I calmly finish my business and then c who called and call them back

You didn't have a portable phone of some sort? :(
That would have been quite handy in this case, Op.
#41 - On 11/09/2009 at 12:04am by Aha09
Caller ID is your friend, but this is hardly a FML. But if you don't have caller ID then if it's important they'll call back. Although, if you don't get many if any calls at all then I could see why this is a f'd life. LOL! But if you don't have friends to begin with then who would be calling you. And the heck with jumping over a couch with my pants around my ankles. Take them off or walk around the couch. And your couch must be like 2 feet tall because most people need to spread their legs to leap over an obstacle.

Who said the phone wasn't cordless? Maybe it was just on its charging port.

I wish there was some kind of technology that would allow us to see who called or some sort of recording device so that people can leave audio messages.
Well, it's a good thing we're in the 21 century and that it has already been invented.

Just picture this in your head...do it. Picture a girl trying to run around and jump over a couch with her pants around her ankles, falling and stubbing her toe, just to answer the phone.
And by the way, how the fuck do you jump over a couch with your pants around your ankles? :D
#52 - On 11/09/2009 at 5:31pm by tangerine_12
are you that desperate to get a phone call? apparently no one ever calls this girl
