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.

Why didn't you pick up the emergency phone in the elevator? Yes, there is one, it is required by law for public elevators.

as someone pointed out, cellphones don't work in elevators. elevators also have intercoms so that if something like this happens, YOU CAN CALL FOR HELP, and also, if you really were stuck and the intercom wasn't working and your cellphone happened to work, there is no way that they would take away your cell phone and give you two detentions.... school heads are people too, and they would probably take the situation into account

Oh really? I've used my cell phone in plenty of elevators. I think perhaps you need new information. They don't always work, especially if you are going down to lower levels and basements, but I never just expect to drop a call when I walk into one.

Wow could you be more of a douche? People can't help it if they're disabled. As for you OP, FYL but also YDI. Just because you used it during an "emergency" doesn't mean you didn't break the school rule and use a cell phone. An example would be like stealing a car in order to get to the hospital if a family member was really injured, you just can't do it. Also, elevators have emergency call buttons for a reason, you should have used it.

So the first thing you did was call your mom? Uhh...I believe all elevators have those emergency com buttons for these types of things.

How is a high school having an elevator a surprise to you? Mine did but only for the main building and it's the slowest ******* piece of shit on earth. I had to use it for three weeks after I had knee surgery and I was consistently 5 minutes late to class when I used it because it had the speed of a box turtle. Be lucky you had your phone. I got stuck in the dorm elevator my freshman year of college and had left my phone in my room on accident. And of course, when you have a coed hall, guys think it's funny to ring the elevator alarm just for kicks so people ignored it most of the time. Worst 20 minutes EVER.
