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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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.

I agree with artsavage...if the elevator didn't have an intercom you had to use your cell phone. I wouldn't take this one lightly even though it's two detentions and your cell phone, which they cannot keep and must return your personal property.

YDI. For one, I'm sure the school isn't 10 stories. Stop being so lazy and take the stairs. Secondly, if you can't use your phone in school, why even bring it? So yes, you deserve it for using your phone in school when you shouldn't even have it in school.

Err... your comment is like condensed autism. Why use the stairs if the elevator is easier. It's like telling a rugby player to run in bare feet. And he can use his phone in school, he DID use his phone in school, it got him out of an elevator. I like to dramatize things so.... him having his phone for that emergency is like a civilian having a gun to shoot a terrorist who is about to attack, yeah he isn't sposed to have it but it did more good than evil. Peace!

Schools have rules. You knew that and you chose to break that rule in order to get you out of an unpleasant situation. Your school is teaching you that life can be hard and it can seem unfair. Sounds like good preparation for the real world to me.

The no cell phone rules has the exception of using it in an emergency situation. This clearly was an emergency and your school would have to make the exception. Likely not a true story.

what are you talking about? he needed to get out, and schools assume that no one is in the elevators when they don't call. I knew a friend who didn't call and was stuck there for hours.

When I was in HS we had an elevator for the disabled kids and unfortunately also for the fat teachers (because they didn't want to take one flight of stairs??). Anyway, in order to even get on the elevator, you had to have a pass from the office which would be given to you if you had a disability or a broke leg/foot or something.

Should have taken them stairs (unless you're disabled or physically unable to). Of course, you could be Fatty McGee... "Fatty McGee, why do you keep taking the stairs?" "[wheezing uncontrollably] I like the stairs! [still wheezing] They're fun!" "Oh, Fatty McGee. You're the fattest!"
