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.

Not only are people with disabilities an issue, there are quite simply a lot of things that have to be hauled up and down the stairs. Do you want to carry a photocopier up two flights or would you rather someone thought ahead and put in an elevator?

Go back to the elevator and check the maintenance certificate, if it is out of date, as they frequently are, you have a major lawsuit on your hands, you'll be able to get yourself a much nicer phone.

Are people aware that you can usually just pry the doors open even if the elevator is stuck between floors?

I doubt that the elevator would have been left unchecked for all that long. It just doesn't seem like an emergency situation to me. Typical teenage impatience followed by crying. Typical bitchy meddling school hags who live for their powertripping, as if it makes a real difference in the world whether or not a cell phone was used in an elevator at school. It all sounds so 'run of the mill' to me. :p

I HATE high schools and all their retarded rule sets. Who gives a shit if your students are using their cell phones between class or at lunch? Who gives a shit if they pop off a quick text even in class? Seriously. Their education is on them and you don't need to make up a crap ton of arbitrary rules just to be assholes to your students with. As long as they aren't disturbing the class or the school, leave them alone.

Were you allowed to be in the elevator in the first place? If it's a faculty/handicapped-only elevator, and you were sneaking in, I could certainly see them punishing you for it. if you were allowed to be using the elevator, then it's definitely a case of someone punishing you just out of spite. Obviously, it was an emergency situation, and any normal, sane person would see that. Back when I was in high school, it was the same way - most teachers were reasonable, but some would enforce the most pointless rules just because they could.

this is fake. no way they would give you two detentions for using a cell phone in a elevator.

I don't know, some schools have very stupid rules, and of course the hags who enforce them.
