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??

Deserved it, can't you wait until you're out? People today are so depending on entertainment that they can't even function.

YDI. Couldn't keep your paws off your precious effing cellpohone? You're probably the type that answers their phone anywhere, anytime, regardless of who's around or what's going on. At the counter ordering a coffee? Doesn't matter, everyone else can wait while I talk. In a restaurant? Who cares, obviously everyone else wants to hear the details of my life and the waitress has lots of time to stand there and wait for me to finish my extra important conversation. Taking the SAT's, the most important test I'll take in high school? Jesus I better make sure I don't miss any calls or texts!

I've never turned my phone off for the SATs...I just put it on silent and don't use it while in the room. I don't really think I'm smart enough to cheat on the SATs haha they're not too hard though just long. That really sucks though you're proctor was probably really strict

Yeah... that was a pretty silly move. The SATs are very strict. You should've waited until you were out of the room hun. I guess you'll probably take it again, so just take this as a lesson learned :).

That's why they tell you to TURN OFF YOUR PHONE and that if your phone isn't off your score may be cancelled. How is the proctor supposed to know that you just turned it on and that you haven't been texting during the whole test? Yeah, you definitely deserved that one. And if the next time you take the SAT it's a harder verision (because that happens, it's not always an equal degree of difficulty from one exam date to the next), you deserve that too.

Are you stupid or something? Never risk that. I left mine locked in my car cause I knew I would want to do that. Think ahead.

YDI. What gets me is that it's not even like you turned it on as you were getting up to leave or something, but BEFORE the test was even collected. That's even worse.
