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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, my long-distance relationship ended. The only thing my dad had to say to comfort me was that he hopes my phone bills will, "go back to normal now." FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
Today, I finished a 2 hour Skype call with my girlfriend, only to realize I was using mobile data. FML
Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML
Today, I switched cell phone carriers and got the plan where you can call or text any five people for free. The employee asked for my five, I could only come up with one, my mom. FML
Today, I got a missed call from my dad, who hasn't talked to me in months and has vowed not to have anything to do with me. I called him back excitedly and apologized for missing his call, and we had a 20-second conversation about how his phone accidentally dialed my number. FML
Today, it was my dad's 60th. I was planning on calling him early, but due to a client (I'm a social worker) ending up in hospital because her husband beat her up, I couldn't call him until 2:30. My mum phoned me in tears, yelling that I was a bad daughter and obviously didn't care about my dad. FML

YDI for talking to your friend for 5 hours. Sure it sucks your dad didn't tell you, but why talk to them for so long if you were planning on visiting them?

2 things here - 1) Get "Skype", no costs. Better to have a webcam for full usage, but worst case it's a free phone call. 2) Work out you call costs for the 5 hours under your old plan, compare to the actual billing you got, and see if Dad is prepared to meet you half-way (of course, he'll open up a whole new area of 'costs' in the household - but at least you're showing him that you weren't just recklessly calling for 5 hours without an abilitry to pay for it).

Skype isn't as awesome if either party doesn't have a great Internet connection, and unless you have a Skype phone and not just a PC headset you can't lie down or wander around the house or anything very easily in the 5 hours they're on the phone. I've broken 8 or 9 hours before when talking to people who were long distance from me. And IM and email

Daaaaang. If your dad made the change without telling you, he should pay at LEAST half.
