Today, the people fixing my phone called to say that for some reason, my phone's SIM card has wiped all my contacts except for four, and they are doing their best to try and recover the rest. I had to explain to them that I only had four contacts to begin with. The guy laughed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I lost my phone. I called the number from my friend's phone, hoping I could find it. A guy answered, laughed "Thanks for the phone!" and hung up. FML
Today, my phone decided to delete all my numbers. I posted on Facebook that people should message or text me if they felt like I should have their number. I didn't get a single reply. FML
Today, my friends took my phone and changed all the contact's names to characters from Harry Potter. I have over a hundred contacts and no idea who I'm talking to. I've been texting Draco Malfoy for 4 hours now. FML
Today, I got a new cell phone. I was unable to retrieve my old contact list from my old phone, so I sent out a mass email asking my friends to "Give me your contact info, unless you don't want me to text/call you!" No one is responding. FML
Today, I switched cell phone carriers and got the plan where you can call or text any five people for free. The employee asked for my five, I could only come up with one, my mom. FML
Today, I got jumped by five dudes who took my phone. On it I had naked pictures of myself. An hour later they sent the pictures to all of my contacts. FML
Today, I was trying to back up my messaging information on an app so if it ever got deleted I wouldn’t lose all my information. It ended up glitching out and erasing all my contacts and messages. Now I can’t even message back the guy I like that I’m not ignoring him. There goes that relationship. FML
Today, my phone randomly stopped working and I have three phone interviews. FML
Today, I walked into a T-Mobile store to get a new phone. I wanted all of my numbers on my new phone, but the customer service rep had to transfer them. He said jokingly, "I understand. You don't want to lose your girlfriend's number." My girlfriend and I broke up two days ago. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So you only need to contact four people. Big whoop. For all he knows they could be the president, the pope, the Dalai lama and his mom.

You should have let them try to recover your contacts, and then feigned outrage when they couldn't. Would've made for a good hearty laugh.

Don't worry, OP. I'm sure you'll get lots of numbers soon enough.

Based on what evidence?

At least you have found the right 4 people to be in your life.

You're assuming they're the right four. They could be his mom and three people he doesn't talk to anymore.

What a nice customer service, aye! Never mind Op, but i think you should start going a out a little more as well.

Ssssh! Let them try to add some more contacts on your SIM card. You can use a few more friends.

This comment is confusing. Who said anything about adding new contacts?
perdix 31
In order to "find" what they think should be the normal number of contacts, they would have to add a bunch of random ones. Maybe the OP could make friends with some of the new ones.

Maybe it's just me but I prefer a small number of really good friends rather than a big number of fake friends.

Try to view it from his side: he was probably scratching his head and afraid of looking incompetent, but he got relieved to hear that it wasn't his mistake. I would HAVE laughed too... ;)

I'm sure if most people deleted the contacts they didn't talk to, the number would be about the same.

Whats so bad about having only four contacts? It's a cellphone, not a detailed analysis of your life. It seems you have a life outside of your phone.

I use my phone for work, so I've got over a thousand "contacts." But looking over recent calls, it's coworkers, family (whose numbers I know, so I don't really need to have them entered as contacts), and...about four other people.

I only talk to about three people in my contact list op...its ok
