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.

That's the oldest prank phone call ever, next to the one about your fridge running away.

He had an overload from the stupidity he was exposed to.

Ah Doc, you never fail to amuse the crowd. I love when people write their own improvised scripts for the FML. It helps me visualize it in a more comedic way.

What a nuisance..
The_Hitdude 12
Nevermind...glad you got it now. OP, some people just don't have a sense of humor. It's actually a little scary.

Nevermind then.

9- I edited my comment.
The_Hitdude 12
My, this is awkward... Back to the FML.
thisiscat 14
Well darn, now we all look silly because everyone has edited their comments...
ladyLALAA 29
How do you edit a comment? This would really help with awkward auto-correct moments!

You stupid? A nuisance is someone or something bugging you. Like "This mosquito bite is such a nuisance"
cassie13091 10
Are you sure it wasn't a prank? Sounds kinda ify to me.
deviable 9
Well, if nobody ever caused a nuisance, they'd be out of a job.
perdix 31
Why would she? She doesn't consider herself a nuisance. You could think that a few telemarketers sincerely believe that they are helping you by acquainting you with their product or service. The rest are a bunch of losers who would do anything for a buck.

Back when I was in school, it was either that or work at McDonalds.

I was woken up at 6 this morning by a nosebleed. I bet the caller was responsible.
Uramonkey 11
Did you hear the phone ring? If not then the caller was not responsible.

They aren't nuisances they are mid day entertainment because when you are bored there is nothing funner then messing with a telemarketer!!
BTSfanatic 0
Well I can tell you something "funner" to do . Learn correct grammar .
_Oblivion_ 12
Give him a break who's gunna think for a second about conjugating "fun"? It can even be taken as funnier. Chill your ****

43- Your periods should be at the end of the sentence, no spaces. Correct your own grammar first before you go correcting other's. ******* idiot.

Those people are mindless drones. Mindless drones are machines. Machines have no soul so they cannot laugh or understand irony or humour... Poor drones...
Hidur 10
Through this logic we can determine that telemarketers are terminators.
swankmrpancake 8
So basically they are gingers is what your getting at

15 - 'John Connor, you have been targeted as a potential buyer for our useless product. Prepare to be telemarketed.'

Then my suspicion of Carrot Top being a terminator is proven. I mean look at the guy..
THE_A_TEEN 28
Someone has been influenced by the Terminator.
