Today, I didn't even bother to turn my cellphone off in a movie theater because I knew no one would text me or call. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I once again used my phone to get out of a conversation with someone, instead of actually talking to someone on it. FML
Today, I was so bored at a family gathering that I pretended to be busy texting the whole time. I don't know what's worse, that I'm not close to anyone in my family, or that I have no one close enough to text to about such things. FML
Today, I was getting ready to go out with my family. As I was putting my phone in my purse, my father told me I wouldn't need it because we were going to spend 'quality time' together. The entire time I was there, everyone was staring at their phone. I was the only one without one. FML
Today, I went to see a movie but took my phone out a few times to check my socials. Apparently the asshole behind me didn’t like that, because he ripped my phone out of my hands, dropped it in my soda, then just sat back in his seat like nothing happened. FML
Today, I purposely set my phone off in class to make it seem like I had friends. FML
Today, I pretended to be texting to avoid talking to an old classmate I saw at the grocery store. Unfortunately, my phone rang while I was “texting.” It was the classmate. I had no choice but to answer, while we were both standing 10 feet apart. FML
Today, I went to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife. A family talked through the whole movie, phones on, watching YouTube videos, totally interrupting the experience. FML
Today, I gave my phone number to a guy at the movie theatre. I was excited to receive a text a few minutes later, sure enough when I unlocked my phone I had received a message from an unknown number. It was his girlfriend. FML
Today, as my lame excuse to not give a guy I met at a club my phone number, I told him I didn't have a cell phone. Guess what I checked when he asked me what time it was a few minutes later. FML
Today, my friends and I went out to dinner. Being short on cash, I suggested a game where we put our phones in the center of the table and first to check their phone had to pay the bill. Our conversation died out, and fearful of having an awkward silence, I checked my phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've done (or rather not done) the same thing, but then I've only given my cell phone number to a very few people who know not to call unless it's very important or urgent. Back when I was growing up, they didn't even HAVE cell phones.

I was expecting the fml to continue with "it went off anyway - it was a battery notification. FML"

Has fml really come to this? This is stupid...they probably don't have any friends to call because of a personality defect that makes them a loser...

Lol I leave mine on because I always seem to get texts or calls when I'm busy.

I can concur with you. I feel the same, as I usually go to movies alone. Although, I switch off my phone as I'm not giving karma a chance, only to be disappointed when I turn it back on and no one tried to contact me. I sometimes forget to switch it back on for hours after the movie, and still no one tried to contact me. My friends are always too busy...

A movie is only 90 minutes to two hours normally. People shouldn't be bombarded by messages and calls every two hours anyway. I would go insane.
