Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML

How many buttons did you try before realizing it was the one at the top?

Yeah, I voted "You deserved it," because that was just plain ignorance! However, if this deserved an FML, makes you wonder just how boring your life is! Lol!!

Top button and The Home Button can turn it on... 4 buttons on an iPhone and a switch for silence/ring.

Why the F*** you own an iphone if you don't know how to use it, i believe its time to down grade you instead of upgrading you.

27 - my guess is that OP did not know that you have to hold the lock button to turn it on and only tapped the button. or OP thought the home button had to be held.

The person who "fixed" the phone, probably walked in front of a bus on his/her way home from work.

3, You're asking for way too much! *enter sarcasm here* Honestly, if anyone is having any types of an issues with their electronics, I thought it was common knowledge to hard reboot (unplug, pull out the batteries) and it will most likely fix the issues. My older sister just asked me to fix her iPhone and the fix was just to turn it off and on. Massive facepalm.

The tiny print is legal stuff. iPhones come with a quick start guide labeled "Finger Tips," "Hello," or simply "iPhone Quick-Start Guide"

what made you think the phone needed fixing if you didn't even try to turn it on? People nowadays...

When you first turn it on, you don't simply press the power button. You need to hold it down, along with the home button, for a good 8 seconds. Without the instructions or Internet, I can see how it could be difficult to power on.

Maybe OP never had a smartphone before, therefore OP wouldn't of known how to turn it on without instructions.

Actually 50, that's how you reset it. Turning it on just involves tapping the top button.
Simple enough.

Actually 77 I have to hold the top button for mine to turn on. Or maybe I dont and I just do it because I think I have to. Learn somethin new everyday.

77 is correct.
Middle button is only for resetting, and you just have to tap top.
iPhone just takes a while to start, giving the illusion you have to hold it.

I dont know if its the same for iphones but on ipods you press the top button to wake it up, and hold it to turn it on.

When trouble shooting problems, always start with the small possibilities. Don't always assume you have to send it off right away.

Did you have to pay for the repairs? Because that would be an additional slap in the face

They definitely would have had to pay for shipping and handling. I doubt they made OP pay. If they were going to do that they probably would have acted like they fixed it.
