Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML

ditto #8 and #13, you don't have to explain anything, just let them know you're having phone difficulties

Y. D. I. It's as simple as that. If there's one bill I always make sure is paid, it's the one that gets me paid... and if I'm out of work, that's my phone bill.

Well, you have no job, and no phone, but somehow, you are able to post to FML. At least your broadband is paid up, or you were able to pay an Internet cafe for access. Where ever you are, unless you are in jail, you are even allowed more than one phone call. Hmmm...

You know this didn't necessarily happen "today", and there are FREE wi-fi hotspots.

Well, it did say, "today", and I do tend to take things literally, but, somehow, it seemed to me like the OP was expressing the total hopelessness of their situation, when, actually, there were reasonable options available.

All FMLs HAVE to say "Today."
