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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

At my school there are three floors and one handicapped junior. Most of the time there are flat runways for her but there is also an elevator that only she and janitors can unlock because they have a key. Oh and an emergency button.

I went to a high school in manhattan. It was ten stories tall. Most students weren't allowed to use the elevators except for seniors with specific privileges, but there were escalators.

My school had the no phones rule. Of course everyone brought their phones and it made perfect sense to. You see there are these things called extra-ciricular activities. These things are after school hours and are not always on a set schedule. So often it is necessary for students to have a way to contact their parents. Oh and let's not forget, I live in Florida and was in my sophmore year of high school during the Hurricane season of 2004. I went to a school with 4000 students, so when the announcement came that they were letting us out of school early I was VERY happy to have my cell phone. Moral of story your school was wrong.

That sucks, as long as we're not in the classrooms we can use a phone. Ha.

sue the school for getting stuck in their elevator

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Maybe you should sue the shoe company because your laces came undone and you tripped!

Are you kidding me? It's practically impossible to fire a teacher in the US unless you can prove gross misconduct.

You should have refused to give them your phone.

I carry my old, non-working, phone with me just in case. XD
