Today, I called my mobile phone provider to end my contract. A sales rep spent over half an hour trying to convince me to reconsider, and I kept refusing. I ended up breaking down and accepting a "more economical" contract, which I didn't notice costs almost twice as much as the last one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to sell my phone to pay for the phone bill. FML
Today, I switched cell phone service providers, hoping to upgrade. After working out the details and picking a phone in the store, I got home to find my brand new cell can't get a signal in my house. I already signed the two year contract. FML
Today, a vendor contacted me to let me know that our contract renewal went through. Turns out, I misread our original contract and now I've obligated our company to buy $24k of services, when my boss wanted to cancel it. It's only February and I already know I'm not getting a bonus this year. FML
Today, I have to choose between getting a cellphone contract that I need, or a TV that I don't even want, but which my flatmates insist I contribute towards. The same flatmates who eat all my food. This increased grocery bill has left me unable to afford either the phone or TV. FML
Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML
Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML
Today, my cell phone service was interrupted because I owed the company 27 cents. It cost 36 dollars to reinstate my service. FML
Today, I called my friend in Australia to have a nice long chat, what I did not know was that my dad had removed my international calling plan, I talked to my friend for 5 hours, and ran up a huge phone bill, which I have to take out of the money I saved up to go see her. FML
Today, I've been receiving a lot of calls from my telephone company, offering combo packages with internet, Netflix, Disney+ and whatever the fuck. We had previously resigned from their services, because the company never had the intention of fixing an outage that was caused BY THE SAME COMPANY. FML
Today, I got my cell phone bill. I pay for 700 minutes per month. I used 9 last month. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Apparently in your brain "no" means "Please **** me over monthly for the next 2 years."

40, and the cancelation fee, we have those things here in Norway sometimes, if you sign up for 1 year subscription and you cancel, you pay the whole year that month you cancel. And thinking that it's normal that 1 year subscription can cost 100-160 dollars a month.

No. By law you have a cooling off period, normally for five days. You can't get penalized for cancelling contract. It's law. Look into it.

theres usually a "buyers remorse" period...here you can return/cancel any plan within a week or month, depending on who you are dealing with, simply because you were pressured or now regret it. at least in the US and Canada :)

"I've heard about you and your honeyed words..." (after reading your about me, I hope you get this Skyrim reference)

It's only funny when you don't make a reference to your own reference. That, and you made the assumption that you're interesting enough to deserve your About Me read. That just comes off as conceited. Video game humor fail.

If this comment sounded to much like the other word and offensive, will the moderators please just erase it instead of banning me. I'm not racist and don't want to get banned for a racist comment. I thought it was relevant and funny.

After the third or fourth time they ask you to reconsider you hang up to avoid this problem.

I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn - are you interested in buying it?
kewlstoribro 6
Is it by any chance the Brooklyn Bridge? In that case I'll take it for $2,147,483,647.
