Today, I finally password-protected my phone, to protect it from my friends' favorite game: stealing it and sending stupid texts, and hijacking my Facebook. They quickly found a new game. My phone is now locked for 24 hours due to too many attempts to guess the password. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was playing with my phone and turned it on lock mode. I changed my lock code a few months ago, so that no one would be able to guess it. Turns out I can't guess it either. FML
Today, I woke up to a brand new password on my phone that only my wife knows. Apparently, she thinks I've been looking at my phone more than I've been talking to her lately. FML
Today, I was trying to change my PIN code in order to make my phone more secure and prevent people from getting information from it. Instead, I somehow ended up locking my phone permanently. FML
Today, I remember that I changed my phone lock password when I was still half asleep this morning, but I don't remember what I changed it to. FML
Today, my brother thought it would be funny to disable my iPod Touch for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, I went to enter my password. I missed a number accidentally. 50 minutes to go. FML
Today, my cell phone broke. It wouldn't even turn on. I went online to access my account so that I could order a new phone. I couldn't remember my password. The phone company had an option of "forgot my password". Upon clicking I get a message saying "Your password will be sent to your phone". FML
Today, I'm locked out of my phone, out of my email, and out of my credit card. All websites to restore access to all of these send text messages to your phone or an app to unlock them. On top of that, I only got 3 hours of sleep. FML
Today, I spent several minutes trying to log into my email, only to realize I was typing my work password instead of my personal one. After three failed attempts, my account locked me out for 24 hours. Now I can’t check my emails or reset the password because they need me to check my email. FML
Today, I spent an hour trying to log into my work email. I apparently kept typing the wrong password and eventually got locked out for 24 hours. My boss texted me five minutes later asking why I wasn’t responding to his emails. FML
Today, I let a guy I like look at my phone. A second later I remembered I had a secret copy of his Facebook profile picture on there to show a friend what he looked like. I was forced to tackle him to get my phone back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I know you're feeling. Here's a trick that worked for me: "Don't ever let them get you, never lose eye on your phone and be damn quick when they try to get it." You must not only feel the phone, but be the phone

Get better friends.

I'm like 99 percent sure he or she doesn't have an iPhone. I have one, and when you get your code wrong the first time, you can try two more times. If you get it wrong after that, i think it's locked for 1minute. then 5, 15, 30, 45(?) and then an hour. for each wrong attempt..

I don't get why you allow them to take it, if it's in your pocket like every other human being then no one should be able to take it without your consent, unless they forcibly take it every time in which case a swift kick to the dick should get the point across.

App isn't giving me a gender, but women's clothing having pockets big enough for a phone to fit comfortably isn't the norm. Just FYI. Still no reason that they should be able to get the phone, keeping track of your electronics should be instinct.

Happens to a lot of us.

It's better then them jacking it up...maybe keeping a closer eye on your phone or an android would be better...

Why would you assume he has an iPhone? No where does he even imply that he has. Quit trying to start a flame war

Android phones also do the locking thing. I have one, and if the password is not put in correctly, it will lock people out. I believe both Iphones and androids probably have similar locking mechanisms in place.

Look on the bright side, you didn't choose the option to wipe the phone after X bad password attempts...
