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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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??

Why didn't they have the option to put your cell up at the front with the moderator? They have that for every test. Actually, it's not even an option, they tell you that you have to put it there. Then, even if it goes off, you're in the clear.

You deserved that. If the moderator was a real bitch he/she could have easily canceled the scores of EVERYBODY in your testing area.

2, you didn't read this before you posted did you. She turned on her phone during the SATs - even if the phone hadn't vibrated, she deserved her score cancelled. If you can't follow basic rules you deserve the consequences for breaking them. They don't make the rules because they don't care whether or not you follow them, and by the way she phrased this its pretty clear she knew her score would be cancelled if it was found out that she turned on her phone. One must wonder if she was trying to find a way to get her score cancelled...that would certainly be more intelligent that her seriously thinking it was a good idea to turn on a phone during an expensive test that she wanted scored when she knew her score was important to her and knew that turning it on was against the rules and would get her test thrown out

I took the sats today. And i managed to not touch my cell phone the entire way through. I cant say how you would feel obligated to look at it. I did enjoy the irony of it. And i am sorry you have to take it again because after today i dont want to touch that test that made me want to fall asleep again.

That's why when I took my MCAT this morning, they required us to keep all phones, wallets, etc. in lockers that are just outside the testing room - only accessible during breaks. Sorry dude that sucks hard
