Today, I was alone with a work acquaintance at lunch. A noise came from his pocket; he whipped out his iPod Touch and said "Sorry, I have to take this," before walking away with the iPod to his ear. Not only did he not want to talk to me, he thought I was stupid enough to confuse an iPod with a phone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML
Today, my crush was walking up to me and I put my earphones in, playing hard to get. When I heard him say something about a date I take an earphone out and say, "Oh, I didn't see you there!" His response, "They're not connected to anything," holds up the end of my earphones and walks away. FML
Today, I told a customer at the drive-thru I couldn't hear him as he had his music blaring too loud. The customer then drove to the window and verbally abused me for listening to my iPod at work. My "iPod" is the headset we use to take orders at the drive-thru. FML
Today, I saw my friend at the mall. He didn't see me, so I called him to say "Turn around." He took one look at his phone, snorted loudly enough for me to hear from way off, and put it back in his pocket. FML
Today, I met a hot guy at a club and we really hit it off. We went back to his place and we got down to business. After, I noticed he had an iPod Touch on his nightstand. I complimented him on it and he responded with, "Yeah, my girlfriend gave it to me as an anniversary present." FML
Today, I handed my friend his phone, telling him he'd forgotten it. He responded by taking his phone out of his pocket and showing it to me. I then realized I was holding MY phone. FML
Today, I went out for lunch with one of my co-workers. After work, I talked to one of my friends about how unpleasant the lunch was with him. My co-worker was standing behind me listening in the whole time. FML
Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. Since I knew it would take a while, I brought my iPod in for entertainment. To bad it disabled me from hearing the continuous knocks on the door as well as the manager eventually picking the lock and busting in. FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because his iPod app said I was cheating. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Also, the iPod Touch, when connected to a Wi-Fi signal, can act like a phone with programs like Skype.

Maybe the OP knew the difference between and ipod touch and an iphone, and saw that his acquaintance was holding the touch. But judging by the way the FML is written, it was an iPhone and the OP didn't know about them.

/starts rant 1.Depending one the case/way you hold your iphone cameracould be covered. 2.Screen faces toward person so u wouldnt see speakers etc.. to tell the differance that way 3.Person probly put iphone to ear and quickly walked away stopping you from getting a good view of it 4.Impossible to differentiate thickness without viewing next to a touch or without beeing super close and looking at it for a while. 5.I dont know about you but when someone pulls out an iphone and puts it to their ear i dont go "Ima take a really good look at this to make sure its an iphone" 6.need external mic for ipod touch if he really used his touch to take a call. /end rant

it was a fake call app on the iPod touch. it's actually pretty easy to tell the the difference between the iPhone and iPod touch. the iPod touch has a shiny back and the iPhone is either black or white on the back and is quite a bit thicker.

if its not an iphone how did it ring? even most phone apps i've heard of for ipod touch don't let you receive calls (just send calls). unless he turned on a song in his pocket and he has the 2nd generation with the speaker then OP is just retarded.

Boy you gotta love how all the comments turned to the controversy of the difference between iPhone and iPod touch.

for everyone saying there's a big difference between an iPod touch and an iPhone.. who really takes the time to look at the thickness of the iPod/iPhone when someone pulls it out of their pocket and walks away? and most of the people I know with iPods or iPhones do have covers on them, so you wouldn't be able to look at the color of the back, or the engravement. as for OP, this is dumb.. grow up, your "acquaintance" just didn't want to talk to you worst comes to worst. it's not the end of the world. and it may have been an iPhone, unless you looked at it incredibly closely, which is kind of ridiculous I think..

OMG, how much more clueless could y'all be? It's pretty damn easy to tell an iPhone and an iPod touch apart! The back of an iPhone is either BLACK or WHITE PLASTIC and says "iPhone". The back of an iPod touch is SHINY METAL and says "iPod". Trust me, you can tell with just one glance, ESPECIALLY if the person put it up to his ear, which ALLOWS YOU TO SEE THE BACK.
