Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my friend's phone rang in class and my teacher thought it was me, so now I have detention for a week. FML
Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML
Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML
Today, I forgot to bring a letter to my secondary school, so I went to detention. I told them it got lost, but it's only when my parents phoned and told them the same thing that they believed it. So I got detention for nothing. FML
Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML
Today, our teacher forgot to collect our phones when we arrived at school. We almost managed to take our phones back to the dormitory but someone's phone rang TWICE in the corridor and she remembered the whole thing. FML
Today, I tried to charge my phone at school by removing the socket for the fan. All the computers in the room turned off. I accidentally removed the power cables for the computers and got suspended. FML
Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Have the schools head on a platter for unreasonable treatment. This was an emergency situation in which you had no other choice. You were not disrupting a class or using it for conversation. Maybe you could have pushed the emergency call button in the elevator, but that's no excuse for the school's actions.

That's such bs that schools do that. I can understand banning the use of cell phones in the classroom and such, but there should be exceptions in situations like these.

dunno about your school but my school elevator is only allowed to be used by those in wheelchairs, for whatever reason (mentally crippled, 2 broken legs, etc.) even if you had a broken leg at my school but could use crutches, you'd just have to suck it up and take the huge ass ramp behind the lockers. elevators are not just for lazy people so everyone stfu and even IF this is a fake FML (not saying it is or isn't) do you really care? it's just the internet people, damn...

A teacher once tried to confiscate my phone and I refused, saying it was my property and he wasn't getting his hands on it. My brother told me never to let a teacher take my phone, they have no right. The teacher was highly pissed off, but funnily enough he couldn't do shit about it.

umm if your school has rules of banning phone then you have to surrender the phone because by coming to school u are agreeing to obey the school rules and hence by doing such act the school has the right to confiscate your phone and your 'right to property' speech would go out of the window. its pretty simmilar to the rules of bringing outside food to the multiplexes or owning narcotics. you were lucky your teacher was stupid :).
