Today, I finished my SAT and was feeling pretty good about it. I decided to turn on my phone, since it was on silent. As the guy was collecting our tests, my phone vibrated a little. My score was cancelled. It was a text from my mom reminding me to turn off my phone. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my entire junior class took the ACT. On the last test, a classmate's phone went off, automatically invalidating the whole test. We all have to retake it. FML
Today, I was taking the SAT and feeling really confident in my answers. When we were close to finishing, some idiot pulled the fire alarm. All of us have to retake it. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML
Today, before going to bed my phone lit up and I got all excited because I thought it was a text message. My phone was finished charging. FML
Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. 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 parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. 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 was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML
Today, my school took part in a standardized state test. After finishing, I decided to take a nap, only to be awoken by the test monitor, who wanted me to leave. Apparently, I was ferociously farting in my sleep and was disturbing the people still taking the test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you ever, ever turn your phone on when still in the room? You deserve that twice.

you deserve that sooo much...they repeat over and over again DO NOT TURN YOUR PHONE ON UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE BUILDING, is it that hard to be away from your cell phone for two seconds in order to take one of the most important tests of your academic life??

A similar thing happened to me when I took the ACT. Except I had my phone on silent and didn't look at it. However, when the test was over it decided to malfunction, causing it to ring as if someone was calling. The person it said was calling insisted she never called, and we went through the AT&T logs and they said the call had no records and had never been placed. I was furious as they wrote VOID all over my test that I'll never know the score of...

This is why you do what you're told in this kind of setting. Don't take chances.

YDI. Apparently you think your phone is more important than college.

I do not have one bit of pity for you. Rules are rules. You're in high school. The world will not end in the few hours that your phone is off to do one of the most important things in your life.

Don't they make you leave your phones at the front of the room when you take the SAT's? At least thats what they did when I took it.

I would be too paranoid to turn on my phone in the same room, just in case. And since the SATs are supposed to be like... The "God" of school testing, I would've been especially paranoid to turn it on in the room. But then again, I usually have my phone on silent instead of vibrate. You can generally still hear it if it's on vibrate. Anyway... I clicked YDI. Mostly just because you turned your phone on in the same room...

ALL ours exams could get a no award for us if we even have a phone/electronic thing and are turned off or a piece of paper with us (even if it doesn't have anything on it).. you shouldnt have turned on your phone ;[

YDI for turning your phone on during the test even though you were toward the end... you could have waited the extra 5 mins. But your mother should have known not to text you. It's quit ironic though. XD WTF? Every SAT test I ever took, they confiscated all phones, put them in a bag, and locked them in another room. They also make you empty your pockets... LAME. Some girl's iphone got stolen, so the last couple of subject tests that I took, I didn't even bring my phone. I used a phone from the school.
