Today, I decided to delete my Facebook account. My older sister repeatedly called me in tears asking why I'm cutting her out of my life. It seems I can't get rid of social media without my family taking offence. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mother is mad at me for deleting my Facebook account. I actually deleted the account because I'd had enough of putting up with her criticizing comments on every Facebook post I made. FML
Today, my 11 year-old sister unfriended me on Facebook because I'm not "cool enough" to be seen on her profile. FML
Today, I found an old photo album in my Facebook account, which had pictures of previous hangouts with people I called friends at the time. I deleted it because they progressively cut ties with me over time. FML
Today, several family members, including my mum, deleted me from Facebook in a concerted show of contempt. Apparently, I just can't shut up about World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my now ex-girlfriend dumped me because I refuse to open an account on Facebook, Instagram or whatever. Four years ago, I had to retire from social media for good because another ex-girlfriend was harassing me frequently. No, I didn't have any children with that ex, if that's what you think. FML
Today, my eldest daughter has 'officially' removed herself from our family and will no longer communicate with any of us. Apparently it's my fault that her younger sister is having a baby before her, and she can't be part of a family that 'treats her so unfairly'. FML
Today, some girl's mom gave me a load of abuse for endangering her daughter's health. How? By deleting my Facebook account, which caused her to have a serious panic attack. Apparently she thought we were best friends, and that I was ditching her. I'm confused too. FML
Today, I was excited that my sister called me for the first time in months. She asked me to stop watching "Friends" so she could use the Netflix account. Now, I still have an absentee sister and no Friends. FML
Today, I logged onto Facebook and found out that my own mother unfriended me because she didn't want her new boyfriend to know that she had a daughter. FML
Today, Facebook stopped working and I realized how emotionally dependent I am on social media. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Haha that same shit happened to me. I got a call from my mom, sister, and best friend asking why I removed them as friends on Facebook. Then when I said I deleted it they were baffled. Damn social media.

Just tell them to take a chill pill and that you love them, just not Facebook.

Tell her you had heard that new studies have shown that extreme face booking can increase your chances of getting cancer by 50 percent.

Facebook sucks. It should be "fakebook".

And when you thought not responding to texts right away was bad for some of us...

I wish I could thumb you up more. That drives me apeshit. I'll look at my phone after having it on silent for a bit and see one normal text message and thirteen frantic ones about why I'm mad at someone...

Exactly!! And I somehow get blamed for something completely stupid and non-existent if I don't answer soon!

75, while I agree with everything you've stated, my cell has actually saved my life, more than once. My chronic illness causes me to convulse, pretty often, and even black out. It can happen anywhere, at any time. I live alone so if my boyfriend texts me and calls me over a certain amount of time, he knows something's wrong and he's always been right. If we know we won't be texting each other as much as usual, we give each other a heads up. So, for people like me, who have a chronic illness, cell phones are a blessing. But I can't stand it when people fight over not responding to a text/call fast enough. It's so petty and most people treat it like it's life or death when it clearly isn't. It makes me wish that I wasn't so sick and couples still wrote love letters/notes to each other. Luckily, my boyfriend and I surprise each other with them every once in a while.

She probably thought you blocked her. Just tell her you deactivated it. No biggie.
