Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I paid $80 to change my cell number because my ex-girlfriend had been stalking me. To inform all of my friends of the change, I sent a mass text message to everyone in my phonebook. Including my ex. FML
Today, my friend posted my phone number all over the Internet, claiming I was a deranged stalker who prank called her. I was calling from my new number to give it to her. FML
Today, I've changed my number twice already. When I asked why the insurance agent gave my contact details away without my consent, she replied, "But he seemed so concerned about you!" I suddenly wish there was a serial killer list I can upload her personal information to. Not that I'll actually do it, but fuck you. FML
Today, after I had changed my number to get away from my abusive ex, my mom decided to give him my new one. She insists that I need to give him another chance. FML
Today, my boyfriend was such a coward that instead of breaking up with me, he changed his phone number. FML
Today, I changed my phone number because my old one belonged to a prostitute. My new one belongs to a debtor. FML
Today, my mother shared my phone number with my brother, despite my explicit wishes that she didn't. He immediately went and put it on Craigslist and several other websites. This is the fourth time I've had to change my number for that very same reason. FML
Today, I gave my phone number to a guy at the movie theatre. I was excited to receive a text a few minutes later, sure enough when I unlocked my phone I had received a message from an unknown number. It was his girlfriend. FML
Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML
Today, my husband gave my cellphone number to his most obnoxious, creepiest friend. I've been drunken-dialed five times already. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You actually fail. Time to change your number again. Btw if he's abusing you why is he on your contact list?

Pull the old "The number you are trying to reach is no longer in service" text.

OP probably did not delete his number, in case he gets ahold of her new number somehow one day so that she can not answer it in case he calls. Kind of like keeping tabs. I kept the number of my stalker just in case. I mean, YDI, OP, for not double checking everyone you're contacting. I am so paranoid about that kind of shit, I triple check things before I send them. But FYL for that happening. If you changed your number without giving out your number to your banks, work, etc., I would just re-change your number.

You obviously don't know that you can block numbers for free.

That's why you don't keep the numbers of exes or people that are physically or verbally abusive. You deserved it ******* moron

I don't want to be an a-hole I mean props for getting out of an abusive relationship its not easy to do, I agree you probably kept the number so if they tried to get a hold of you you would know it was them. Still you should have been more careful.

YDI, if he really did abuse you he would not be in your contact list.
