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.

Because it's a funeral, not a movie or a library. Everyone who is clicking "FML" must be under 15 years old, because only someone that young and stupid would have so little experience in responsible settings where every logical, considerate person checks their phone as soon as they get somewhere a phone shouldn't ring. When you guys finally hit puberty and eventually grow up and get real jobs, good luck ever finding a boss that will say "oh lol it happens" when your phone goes off in an interview or a business meeting.
