Today, I was woken up by a call from "the Nuisance Call Prevention Registry". The lady on the telephone didn't see the irony. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate told me there is some restricted number that keeps calling and waking her up at odd hours of the night. She then says she's getting the police involved to find out who it is because she feels "harassed". I'm the restricted caller calling to wake her up from snoring so loud. FML
Today, I received a prank phone call that woke me up. I actually kept them on the line because they were the first person to call me in weeks. FML
Today, I got a call from "No Caller ID", which usually only shows up when someone calls from my house phone. Thinking it was my kids, I answered imitating a cartoon voice. It wasn't my kids. It was the district attorney's office calling about the job I applied for. FML
Today, my mom is in the hospital and I'm sitting by the phone in case anyone calls with news. Each time the phone rings, I bolt upright to answer it. So far I've been woken up by two telemarketers, three robo-calls, and some old lady asking for Doris, who doesn't live here. I can't turn my phone off. FML
Today, the highlight of my day was someone prank-calling me. FML
Today, I saw a missed call on my phone. Thinking it was one of the multiple jobs I applied for, I called back. Turns out it was just a debt collector. FML
Today, I took a call. Wrong number. A few seconds later, they called back and I told her that she had the wrong number. She said she just hit redial and didn't understand how she got me again. I tried to explain how redial works. She called me a moron and hung up. Then my phone rang again. FML
Today, while at work as a telemarketer, I called a customer on his home phone. Once I was connected, an automated voice said, "To speak with a customer, please press 1." Confused, I pressed one. I then heard loud laughter followed by, "Oh my god! What a dumbass!" before they hung up. FML
Today, I received my first phone call of the new year. It was the police station informing me that my elderly grandmother has been arrested for indecent exposure. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Woman: Hello, this is the Nuisance Call Prevention Registry. Have I called you at a good time? OP: **** you, I'm sleeping. Woman: Excuse me? OP: I SAID **** YOU! Woman: Congratulations, you're now officially a nuisance.

Well, look on the bright side: it wasn't a telemarketeer trying to sell you something.

The ones not selling anything are usually the worst. At least they have a tangible good. The ones not selling anything generally fall into these three categories: Do you know who you're voting for this November? Have you heard the word of Jesus? Or This is the nuisance call prevention line... I'd much rather someone trying to sell me something than these dumbf*cks.

A nuisance is defined as "a person who is too damned lazy to open a dictionary and turn to the word 'nuisance'".

The lack of intelligence never ceases to amaze.

When I get a call like that, I talk to them for about 5 minutes after which I ask them if they would like to talk to my parents. Most of them hang up after that, not wanting to have to say it again.

Just yell obscenities in the phone that stopped the telemarketers calling me.

At least in the UK, the irony is worth a little chuckle. Here, we have to deal with agencies who spend $800,000 on conferences in Las Vegas. Its ironic when you find out that the purpose of this agency is to think of ways to SAVE MONEY. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but...are people paying taxes and having less food on the table so these people can bill 2-floor hotel suites and $75,000 warmup exercises to the taxpayers?
