Today, the people fixing my phone called to say that for some reason, my phone's SIM card has wiped all my contacts except for four, and they are doing their best to try and recover the rest. I had to explain to them that I only had four contacts to begin with. The guy laughed. FML

Today, I lost my phone. I called the number from my friend's phone, hoping I could find it. A guy answered, laughed "Thanks for the phone!" and hung up. FML
Today, my phone decided to delete all my numbers. I posted on Facebook that people should message or text me if they felt like I should have their number. I didn't get a single reply. FML
Today, my friends took my phone and changed all the contact's names to characters from Harry Potter. I have over a hundred contacts and no idea who I'm talking to. I've been texting Draco Malfoy for 4 hours now. FML
Today, I got a new cell phone. I was unable to retrieve my old contact list from my old phone, so I sent out a mass email asking my friends to "Give me your contact info, unless you don't want me to text/call you!" No one is responding. FML
Today, I switched cell phone carriers and got the plan where you can call or text any five people for free. The employee asked for my five, I could only come up with one, my mom. FML
Today, I got jumped by five dudes who took my phone. On it I had naked pictures of myself. An hour later they sent the pictures to all of my contacts. FML
Today, I was trying to back up my messaging information on an app so if it ever got deleted I wouldn’t lose all my information. It ended up glitching out and erasing all my contacts and messages. Now I can’t even message back the guy I like that I’m not ignoring him. There goes that relationship. FML
Today, my phone randomly stopped working and I have three phone interviews. FML
Today, I walked into a T-Mobile store to get a new phone. I wanted all of my numbers on my new phone, but the customer service rep had to transfer them. He said jokingly, "I understand. You don't want to lose your girlfriend's number." My girlfriend and I broke up two days ago. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So you only need to contact four people. Big whoop. For all he knows they could be the president, the pope, the Dalai lama and his mom.

You should have let them try to recover your contacts, and then feigned outrage when they couldn't. Would've made for a good hearty laugh.

It's ok OP.. Four contacts that you call and text regularly is better than 100 people who you barely contact. The employee who was fixing your phone shouldn't have laughed though.

Quality over quantity!

Ask to talk to their supervisor OP. As we discussed on the express lane post, no body in customer service should speak or act to you that way. Get them canned.

It's disrespectful towards the customer and they deserve to be at least punished in some form. As I said on a past post, I am SOOO tired of people who work in a position where they deal with people and they obviously hate it. I don't are of it's a single, "Ha," it's still rude and disrespectful. I say you need to learn what's right and wrong. Honestly, how old are you?

Ooh, remember the one where OP sends a mass text, and every single asks "who the hell are you?"

I agree with the rest of the comments. Having a few true and close friends is what really matters. It's not hard to meet and get to know new people. Just make sure you hold on to the ones that really matter in your life.

I guess you can't relate to the song "Call Me Maybe".

What's sad is having 200 contact and calling on 3 of them.
