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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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??

YDI for turning it on when the test wasn't over and in the same room. Still, your mother should have known better than to text you during the SATs. That is so wrong, and irony at its best.

Sounds like the test accurately measured your intelligence and common sense.

really? When I took my SAT's there was a phone that repeatedly rang in the room when the moderator was collecting the tests and nothing was done about it-FYL

Yesterday I actually did the same thing. I turned my phone on, because we had to put ours on the floor, and I would have forgotten to pick it up. All they did was tell me to put my phone away, which I was in the process of doing.

they made us put our phones in a box and then took the box to the next room.

You're own fault. If you can't follow the simple instruction of turning your cell phone off until you're out of the testing room, when they tell you 4859349853058350 times NOT to have it on and NOT to touch it under any circumstances, then how do you expect to make it in the real world when you have to follow even more difficult orders? When I took mine, they told us we couldn't even have it in the building.

When I took the CBEST, you had to turn in your cell phone at a table and get a ticket to claim it after the test. Maybe they should start to do that for SATs and the like. Either way, you deserved it. Should've known better.

YDI. You seriously turned on your cell phone? Really? Wow. And uh, 76. This person probably had their cell phone on silent before they turned it off. Then when they turned it on, it was still on silent. And some silent modes on cell phones aren't completely silent but vibrate instead. But seriously, person, what were you thinking? Now you have to take a 4 hour test over again. It's a pain in the ass the first time... why would you want to jeopardize taking it again just to check your phone?
