Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I called my phone company to get some answers about my phone bill. I was okay with being put on hold. In fact, I was on hold for so long, that the music stopped playing. When someone finally answered they told me to call back tomorrow. All my phones disconnected an hour later. FML
Today, I phoned up my bank's customer service department. I waited eleven minutes on hold with the lovely music, and when a woman finally picked up, I ran out of phone credit. FML
Today, I called the crisis helpline, and because my connection was cutting in and out for a moment, they hung up on me. When I called back, it was shift change, so they hung up again. FML
Today, I called tech support because my new computer wasn’t turning on. After a long while on the phone, they finally asked if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. I spent way too long troubleshooting with a dead device because I never plugged it into the outlet. FML
Today, I found out that it is possible for someone else to cancel my Internet, TV and phone services in two days. However it'll take me 5 days, after 6 hours on the phone, to get it back. FML
Today, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML
Today, after over a week of trying to get a hold of my doctor for a much-needed medication refill, he finally called back. Too bad my phone got unplugged and died in the middle of the night. FML
Today, I was unable to connect to the Internet. After calling support, I was informed that due to a cut cable, the whole country will have no service from that provider for some time. The. Whole. Country. FML
Today, the power went out at work. As everyone left the building to go home, the owner came in to inform me that, since the phones were on a battery back up, I would be staying to man them. The phones rang 2 times in the 4 hours I sat in the dark by myself. Both times were telemarketers. FML
Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

1. You're a moron for thinking this is an FML. 2. It apparently works now, so it's not like it was the end of the world.

You should have exaggerated and said 6 hours, I had to miss a friend's birthday party to ne on hold. For some reason, during the first hour, the music that they normally play stopped, and I heard a beep. Turns out I accidentally pressed "end call" on the phone with my ear. I waited another five hours and missed my friends party for nothing. FML

i think this is a perfectly fine FML. what do people want? "today i went to pick up my grandma she died in the car then i ran out of gas and hillbillies stole my tires as i was in the gas station FML". but then everyone would say it was fake.

call the company and say you had to wait like 2 hours and demand to speak to the manager and perhaps you'll get some deal off ;)

Customer service for computer problems suuuuuuccccckkkkssss. You get transferred to someone in India who gives you an obviously fake Anglo name and proceeds to read from a script. He tells you things you probably did or would have done anyway like check your wires and turn your comp off and on. Your battery could die just actually talking to these people. You'd spend roughly half that time asking them to repeat themselves since their accents are hard to understand.

I'm thinking it was Charter, right? ;)

I literally clicked on here to write that it was Charter, wasn't it, but 29 beat me to the punch. Anyone with Charter, which is most of Illinois, knows the pain that is Charter's "customer service"...as well as their shady business practices and crappy service.
