Today, my coworkers and I were comparing the backgrounds we have on our phones. They pretty much sum up our love lives; everyone else's background is a photo of their boyfriend or girlfriend. Mine's a photo of a lifeless desert. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized my iPhone is a reflection of my love and dating life. Every charger I have will charge my friends’ iPhones, pretty much everyone else’s… except mine. FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a screenshot of his phone's contact list, to show me the adorable photo of us he'd set as my contact image. I guess he didn't realize that a contact called "Side Babe" was just barely in the screenshot too. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a selfie of us. When he turned his phone around, I saw his photos and there was a picture of him with his ex girlfriend earlier that day, despite him saying he had been at work all day. FML
Today, I got a new smartphone and wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a naughty picture with it. A few minutes after sending it, I got a reply back from my girlfriend. And my best friend. And my sister. And everyone on my contacts list. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were looking through an old photo album of mine. I turned to a page with a picture of me on my last day of college. I thought the picture was quite nice. He turned to me and said, "Don't worry, I take bad pictures too." FML
Today, I was sitting with a friend who moved back into town, and he told me about how he hooked up with a girl at a bar last night. I asked him if she was hot, he responded "Yeah, I have a picture of her on my phone." It was a picture of my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was looking at my pictures and there are none of me and my boyfriend together. The only photographic evidence of our relationship are pictures of bruises he has given me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 6 months was showing me his new phone. He accidentally opened his gallery, which contains 3 photos: one of his motorcycle, one of his new game console, and a naked photo of his ex. FML
Today, I went to my parents' place to visit. My ex-boyfriend's photo is on the fridge, but there aren't any photos of my husband or any of our wedding photos. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she had some good pictures of me for my resume. She gave me her phone to look through her gallery. I found a beautiful album of photos of me and my ex. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I heard of a "dry spell" before, but this is ridiculous. :D

Fix this by changing your background to a photo of James McAvoy. That's what I do.

I never had my background as someone else. At the moment it's a kitten looking in a mirror it's standing on. My lock screen is 3 glowsticks. I know some people who have their background as themselves?!

The people who do have set pictures of themselves as their home/lock screen are either insecure, or selfish. Unless they had nothing else to put..

Mine is a small pikachu with a giant lollipop in its mouth. Wonder what that says about me lol. #17 I can understand the "selfie" as a lock screen, it makes finding/verifying the owner easier at work at when phones get lost.

Don't worry too much OP, I never really got the 'significant other phone background' thing. I love my boyfriend to bits but I don't really think any people pics make good backgrounds, there's too much going on in them. I prefer landscapes or something....sometimes an animal will make it on to my lock screen but that's about it At the moment I have a sunset and some cool graffiti that IS busy but so much that it ends up more like a pattern and isn't too intrusive.

My boyfriend and I hate taking pictures of ourselves, so, at Christmas, I bought gingerbread cookies that came with edible ink and drew our likenesses on them; later, I took a picture of them on a plate with a solid background. That's been my phone background for months.
