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."

I can see you trying to dump a boyfriend and ending up buying him a car. So, what are you doing tomorrow night? I'm looking to trade up.

I haven't heard from the OP yet. Now, I am going for GPS and wheel spinners, too!

28 Oh please, I personally worked for verizon, and I hardly ever did disconnects, but when I did, someone would always flip their shit after I tried everything to stop them. And then they would flip their shit that the call took an hour because they only get paid for up to 8 minutes of the call.

33 continued. They trained us to be feral, and to take our time to sweet talk the customer, but still got mad that the call was long AND we lost that customer.

I bet it was something T-mobile or AT&T. Verizon all the way OP! !
Ruffclue 9
She lives in ontario so i m guessing the phone company present here is rogers, bell, fido and telus. My best bet would be bell.
MaddieLynn123 7
Ahh. True, I didn't think of that!

Tmobile's got awesome customer service! Just wanted to say. :)
MaddieLynn123 7
Haha, I wouldn't know. I have Verizon, I think it's awesome. I've just heard that T-mobiles service isn't the best.

I had sprint, never go with them even if they offer you service for nothing. A year into the contract I had to cancel, couldn't stand not getting texts, pics for hours at a time. Verizon though is the best hands down.
