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

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

to be honest I would be disappointed at any person that could mistake the two. but if you really think about it they do look the same. before I got my iPhone people mistook my itouch for the phone.

ROFL! Cut the OP some slack guys. I get confused between my iPhone and iTouch too sometimes.

In case no one's mentioned it 200 times, it might have been an IPhone.

The difference is that the OP didn't just confuse the two in a moment of confusion, but several hours later STILL thinks it was an iPod Touch and hasn't considered the possibility it was an iPhone. I'm sure it takes you no more than 30 seconds or so to realise you've made the mistake.

Your life suck cuz you are a moron! It was a stupid iPhone you dolt!

everyone is assuming the OP doesn't know what an iphone is, and doesn't personally know her coworker. chances are, she KNOWS he has an ipod, not an iphone. though, in the chance that she really is that stupid, yeah, that would be kind of sad.

Here's a unique and original contribution to the discussion....maybe it was an iPhone.

It was an iPhone, you idiot. Honestly, some people on FML are absolute and complete MORONS! It's sickening.

Damn, the OP is a dumb ****. Why the hell would an iTouch suddenly make "a noise" unless it's an alarm clock? And it's called a ******* ringtone. And your friend can at least afford an iPhone, something you're too pov/stupid enough to not know exist.

evidently, you are stupid. stupid enough to not know that the Iphone looks just like the Ipod touch. and if there's an app for the touch that you can program to 'make a noise' whenever some idiot is either rambling about something stupid or boring you to death and make it sound like its ringing, I'll buy one right now...seriously. that thing would've gone off 50 times while i read this stupid thing. who the **** were the moderators on this one? did they just want to see a new record for YDI's? it's astonishing that you've made it long enough to be in the working world, OP, seriously. go castrate yourself, we really cant afford you having any offspring. and if you already do, i pray for the future, and i'm not a praying man.
