Today, I asked my friend to stop texting me, because I'm on a limited plan and didn't want to go over my limit. She responded by getting a group of her friends to text bomb me. I got well over a hundred one-word texts. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a friend asked me to help him get rid of a girl who would't stop texting him. It worked perfectly. Now she's texting me nonstop. FML
Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML
Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML
Today, I discovered a way to send a massive number of text messages to someone simultaneously, so I decided to do it to my friend as a prank. I quickly noticed that I forgot to disable the delivery notification feature. FML
Today, I had been trying to text my girlfriend all day, but no reply. After a while, I became worried so I called. She picked up and said, "Can't talk, busy." Not even a minute later, my best friend says to me, "Dude, tell your girlfriend to leave me alone. She's been texting me all day." FML
Today, I asked my husband for the 1000th time to stop texting a woman he used to be friends with in high school, with whom he recently reconnected, and that I’m feeling neglected in this marriage. He responded by saying, “Fine! I guess I can’t have any friends then!” and took a hammer to his phone, breaking it. FML
Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML
Today, I got a text from my crush. In my clumsy attempt to quickly grab the phone, I knocked it off the kitchen counter and cracked the screen. After driving to my friend's house so I could put my sim card in her phone, I saw that the text said, "Who is this? Stop texting me." FML
Today, I found out my best friend made a program to reply to my text messages with random sentences from a list. It took 15 minutes of texting before I finally noticed. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

what the ****. why the hell would you have a limit on receiving text messages ?!

UK here and I genuinely can't believe Americans are stupid enough to agree to a phone system where you agree to getting charged for every text you receive. If I wasn't on contract I'd have to pay 15p for every text I send so I assume that would be the same cost for receiving texts, I get about 250 texts a day so that would be like

£37 just on texts sent to me, wow Americans are stupid.

OK, so what are we "stupid Americans" supposed to do about it? Those are the only type of plans we have. It's not our fault. So what, we're all just going to move to the UK to have better cell phone plans? Stop trying to sound smart. I'm fixing to hand your ass to you.

Well maybe if you stop signing contracts that say you have to pay, companies will stop selling them too you...? Vote with your feet and take your custom elsewhere!

Ok, so we're all supposed to go without cell phones? How is that going to work?

You're seriously telling me that not one single phone company in America offers a plan where you don't have to pay to receive? They only offer it because they know there are people out there who are stupid enough to buy it.

I'm an American, and I don't believe I've ever had to pay for a text message I've left unopened. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about, unless things have changed in the past few years. I've been with Verizon, Cingular (when it was still called that), T-Mobile, etc. Now, I was with those companies before EVERYONE had unlimited texts. There's a chance that those companies have changed their policies in an attempt to push those individuals without an unlimited plan into getting one. That's underhanded and annoying of these companies, but I don't think Americans, in general, are stupid because of it. Companies are out to make a profit, and when people think that this is the way things ARE, they don't question it as much. I wouldn't put up with it, but that's because I know that the plans did not used to charge you for a received message unless it was opened. Younger people might not know that, so they "don't know any better" or don't see it as something to fight over. That, or most people have unlimited plans to begin with, so such policies are not even noticed by the larger population.

Are people really stupid enough to think that phone companies keep track of opened and unopened texts? Your phone already did the work of receiving them, companies don't care if they are read or not. OP bitch slap this chick and hand her the bill.

why so you refer to her as "friend"?

she thought it was her friend until they did it to her, I guess no more friends, or at least hope not for her sake .
