Today, I had to change my mobile number because I was getting abuse from a guy, so I sent my new number to all of the people on my contact list. Including him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I paid $80 to change my cell number because my ex-girlfriend had been stalking me. To inform all of my friends of the change, I sent a mass text message to everyone in my phonebook. Including my ex. FML
Today, my friend posted my phone number all over the Internet, claiming I was a deranged stalker who prank called her. I was calling from my new number to give it to her. FML
Today, I've changed my number twice already. When I asked why the insurance agent gave my contact details away without my consent, she replied, "But he seemed so concerned about you!" I suddenly wish there was a serial killer list I can upload her personal information to. Not that I'll actually do it, but fuck you. FML
Today, after I had changed my number to get away from my abusive ex, my mom decided to give him my new one. She insists that I need to give him another chance. FML
Today, my boyfriend was such a coward that instead of breaking up with me, he changed his phone number. FML
Today, I changed my phone number because my old one belonged to a prostitute. My new one belongs to a debtor. FML
Today, my mother shared my phone number with my brother, despite my explicit wishes that she didn't. He immediately went and put it on Craigslist and several other websites. This is the fourth time I've had to change my number for that very same reason. FML
Today, I gave my phone number to a guy at the movie theatre. I was excited to receive a text a few minutes later, sure enough when I unlocked my phone I had received a message from an unknown number. It was his girlfriend. FML
Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML
Today, my husband gave my cellphone number to his most obnoxious, creepiest friend. I've been drunken-dialed five times already. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You actually fail. Time to change your number again. Btw if he's abusing you why is he on your contact list?

Pull the old "The number you are trying to reach is no longer in service" text.

Contact your carrier and block him?

Think ahead...you also could have blocked his #

Block him

She probably has him as a contact to identify the person who's sending texts and phone calls... Still op, fail. You should have been more careful about it if he was the reason you changed your number.

Then she could remember his number, couldn't she?

It costs money per month to block a number actually, cheaper to change the number again
Vash_41288 10
If they they have an android device they can block it no problem, have it sent to voicemail automatically, just delete messages, and all texts just get ignored.

Unfortunately, blocking isn't available everywhere. I know certain carriers here in Canada do not let you block numbers.

61 - not all carriers cost. I know Verizon allows 5 at a time before charging. You just have to update it every couple of months or the number will fall off the block list. If it is a carrier that charges, there are apps you can download that play a message to certain numbers claiming that your number is no longer in service. I just recently did a lot of research getting rid of an asshole myself!

I think people only remember people they likes number.

You might want to change it again, but make sure you delete him as a contact first before you send your number.

Well, I think it's ok to have hoda number saved. It's probably to identify the abuser. Op can just block him, too. But that's just boring, op should give him what he wants. Opportunity knocks in different ways.

You mean 'knocks her down' in many ways?
Awsumuzzie 12
Isn't knock another way to say tap!? If not, it'd explain why my awesome "I'd like to knock you out, hard" pick up line isn't working.

This happened to me once, so I took his and told his mom he was gay. He never bullied me again.

just don't spell a word wrong, like on that fail picture.

That never works. >_> I've tried it, and I spelled everything just fine.

Thats not good. Request another before its too late and delete him from your contacts. Or just block him :)
Wederoney 16
Or get a restraining order.
jerseyboy732 16
just change it again
n3rdzgotskillz 29
Why do you still have him as a contact? DELETE HIM! Or block his number entirely! It's much easier than changing your number (again) :)

Depending on the provider. AT&T for instance, charges a monthly fee for that.

I don't see why 93 is thumbed down, she has a point.
SpruceDread4578 13
If 93 is right, I need to find a way to block numbers on my iPhone. This "blocking number charge" is retarded.
n3rdzgotskillz 29
I have no idea what AT&T is, sorry. :( I'm from England, none of the networks over here charge you for blocking numbers.

Just call the company and have them block his number.
buck33 14
Can't you put him on a reject list or something?
KiddNYC1O 22
That would be one of a stalker's perk.

Now use your old number. Also try the cat facts thing.

Change it again or just ignore him.
