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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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."

you can still get out of it.... in Canada it is illegal for them to keep you under contract when you live in a place where you dont get service from them..... soooo.... all you have to do is have a friend who lives in a place with no service and get there address, and tell them that you have moved there and would like to cancel your contract, with no cancellation fees :)

In sure you'll have a certain amount of time to cancel it. In the future never trust a telephone salesman, if in doubt just hang up.

I've noticed with phone companies it's best to just leave well enough alone and wait for the contract to expire. Otherwise you get wallet raped.

Anyone else notice that the OP was from Canada?.... That explains a bit.

I find this comment insulting. Canadians are no more gullible than people from other countries. I would appreciate a little respect, if you please, the same that I give every single individual in the world. To the original poster, I would suggest, like so many before me, to call the telephone company and cancel the new contract. You are entitled do to this without a penalty.

Just don't pay. They'll cancel your service eventually.

I bet the sales person laughed his ass off the moment he got off the phone with OP.

#14/25 she was on the phone, so I don't think she was able to read the fine/final print because she was not presented with one.

That's when you have to get mean. Insult. Threaten. Intimidate. At the very least get someone else on the horn.
