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??

Your test book was closed and the guy was collecting the tests. My gosh, are we really this paranoid that people are going to cheat? It's not like you were looking on it DURING the test. Some people play a little too much by the rules. Sometimes you ahve to know which ones are a little bit stupid. What an asshole for doing that to you.

Yeah, you don't turn on the phone until you're physically out of the building. Sucks to be you, but at least it was good practice! You still have a couple of months to take it.

YDI x 10... They are seriously sooooooooooooooooo strict about cell phones. Next time, wait until your OUTSIDE of the testing room.... or just leave it at home or in a bag... turned OFF....

#112, yeah it sucks that some people are so strict but it is a rule and you are told probably 50 million times to have your phone off, don't touch it, and to make sure it is off during the whole test in the testing room. Plus unless the proctor was watching him/her take the test the whole 4 hours then how would he/she know the phone hadn't been on during the whole test? OP, YDI for being so stupid.

YDI, they told you not to turn on your phone and it must be completely OFF! you seriously couldnt wait until you left the room or until he was finished collecting the test to turn on your phone?

1. Obviously you shouldn't have turned it on until you were well out of the room. Better still, you shouldn't have even taken it. That's just asking for trouble! 2. Obviously it wasn't on silent, if it vibrated. Idiot. Good luck on that SAT score - my bad, the retake - if that's the kind of rationale you have at your disposal!

You deserved it. Obviously, you're not too bright. maybe it's a good thing, saves you from getting back a terrible score.

#2, how does she not deserve it? She acts as if she's the victim, when the other people taking the test are because she is disturbing them by turning on her phone. YDI

Aww man, that really sucks. I just took the SATs yesterday, they were such a pain! I can't imagine getting my scores cancelled. Thats awful though, the cell phone thing could have happened to anyone.
