Today, I attended a funeral. During the minute of silence, my phone went off. My ringtone is "It's good to be alive". FML

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

F*** Grandma, eh kids?
Today, I was so distraught during my mother’s funeral that I hadn’t been paying attention to anything around me. At some point, my kids changed my ringtone to “Ding dong the witch is dead” and turned my phone to full volume. They called while I was doing her eulogy. FML

Today, I went to a funeral for my coworker's father. While there, my dad's cell phone rang and he left to answer it. I turned to my brother and said, "I can't believe he brought his cell phone!" He whispered, "I can't believe he's got coverage. This is a dead zone!" I laughed loudly. At a funeral. FML

Classic blunder
Today, I serve at church and had a funeral. As I greeted the family, someone asked how I was doing. Without thought, I responded, "Good to be alive." FML

Today, I was visiting my new in-laws for the first time. During an awkward silence, I took my phone and figured I'd send my friend a text jokingly saying "Mayday, mayday! Somebody save me!" My mood lightened up a little and I felt quite well until my mother-in-law's phone beeped. Yep. FML

Happiest day of my life
Today, during a moment of silence at a wedding, my phone rang at full volume. My ringtone? The Jurassic Park theme. Everyone turned to stare as I fumbled desperately to shut it off. The bride spent the rest of the ceremony giving me the side-eye. FML

Today, I missed an important phone call. It's been so long since someone has called me that I didn't recognize my own ringtone. FML

Today, my phone made a random noise. I jokingly said, "Wow, I wonder who died now?" Turns out it was my son's grandmother. I had to explain it because I screamed. I also got to tell his dad that his mom just died. FML

Today, I was at church, when my mom's phone went off during the sermon. As if that wasn't humiliating enough for me, her ring tone was set to the Bed Intruder song. FML
It's a horrible song lmao

Deep cut
Today, I lost my phone while at the store with my mom. She decided to call it, and that's when I remembered that my ringtone for her is the song "Mother" by The Police. The weirded-out stares I got as I picked up my phone have become a core memory that I absolutely did not want. FML

YDI for not turning your phone off. You're at a funeral for God's sake.

I don't see how anyone deserves this. Unless the people are happy for him having a song like that.

It could have been an accident, but turning off your phone is pretty important before a funeral.

Same type of thing happened to me. My parents were at a memorial's day parade while I was home alone. I decided to get my laundry taken care of, and so I called my dad when I realized we were out of detergent... I had no idea that it just happened to be the moment of silence for all the soldiers that have died. His ringtone was "Hit me with your best shot" and it's set at full volume since he forgot to put it on silence.

It's true that people make mistakes, but this was a situation in which one should double check that his phone is on silent.
docscientist 10
Can't double check if you didn't check the first time. ;)

If they didn't want to turn it off, they should've at least changed it to a more appropriate song...
BlueEyed1019 12
yes, froggygirl, because since they know their phone will go off at a funeral they need to change it to a funeral appropriate song... wow ur dumb

not everyone remembers to turn off their cell or put it on silence.

List of appropriate songs at a funeral: The theme song from MASH Thriller I Am Not Dead Yet Can't Touch This and any song by Al Green

'another one bites the dust' would be funeral appropriate

"Still Alive" from Portal would be my personal choice.

Every funeral home I've been to, they ask people to turn them off and/or have signs up. This is not a "mistake," this is a crass, self-centered asshole with no consideration for anyone but himself.

He could have had a job where it was vital that he be accessed by phone 24/7, like a specialist medical consultant or something.

Maybe someday looking back it could be funny. But you really should have had your phone off or on vibrate.

i bet to the deceased's mom/spouse/children that will never be funny
