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??

Back when I took the SATs hardly anyone had cellphones anyway, so I don't know what the rules are now but I'm assuming they tell you 50 times to leave them off, so if you were warned then YDI, yes, but on the other hand don't feel bad OP. I never even looked at the scores of my SATs and never had an issue getting into or graduating college. The test is worthless IMO and didn't affect my life one way or the other. Just take it again next time and be done with it. Should be easy, you already did it once.

Don't bring your phone when you're doing something so important.

You really did deserve that. You turned the phone on during the SATs. Why would you even think of doing that. This is a very serious test, even if it doesn't matter much in the long run. I thought the SATs were a waste of time. I ended up going to a CC before transferring to a major university. But, they ask you to have it off for a reason. It's also a good life lesson. Can't really have your cellphone out and all during your job and things like that.

Don't worry. You didn't do too well on it if you weren't smart enough to wait until you were officially able to turn on your phone to do so. You deserved that for being a dumbass.

It's horrible, but you abide by all test-taking rules until you are out of the building and into the comfort of your car. You sort of deserved it for not being patient and needing your phone while the test was technically still in front of you--he hadn't picked it up yet--.
