Today, I didn't even bother to turn my cellphone off in a movie theater because I knew no one would text me or call. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I once again used my phone to get out of a conversation with someone, instead of actually talking to someone on it. FML
Today, I was so bored at a family gathering that I pretended to be busy texting the whole time. I don't know what's worse, that I'm not close to anyone in my family, or that I have no one close enough to text to about such things. FML
Today, I was getting ready to go out with my family. As I was putting my phone in my purse, my father told me I wouldn't need it because we were going to spend 'quality time' together. The entire time I was there, everyone was staring at their phone. I was the only one without one. FML
Today, I went to see a movie but took my phone out a few times to check my socials. Apparently the asshole behind me didn’t like that, because he ripped my phone out of my hands, dropped it in my soda, then just sat back in his seat like nothing happened. FML
Today, I purposely set my phone off in class to make it seem like I had friends. FML
Today, I pretended to be texting to avoid talking to an old classmate I saw at the grocery store. Unfortunately, my phone rang while I was “texting.” It was the classmate. I had no choice but to answer, while we were both standing 10 feet apart. FML
Today, I went to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife. A family talked through the whole movie, phones on, watching YouTube videos, totally interrupting the experience. FML
Today, I gave my phone number to a guy at the movie theatre. I was excited to receive a text a few minutes later, sure enough when I unlocked my phone I had received a message from an unknown number. It was his girlfriend. FML
Today, as my lame excuse to not give a guy I met at a club my phone number, I told him I didn't have a cell phone. Guess what I checked when he asked me what time it was a few minutes later. FML
Today, my friends and I went out to dinner. Being short on cash, I suggested a game where we put our phones in the center of the table and first to check their phone had to pay the bill. Our conversation died out, and fearful of having an awkward silence, I checked my phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, you never know!:) But at least you are being considerate to those around you, so that's a good thing. And with that way of thinking, you would probably make friends alone on that, so stay positive if you can.

He isn't being considerate because he didn't bother to turn it off or on vibrate. But it's all good. What's your number, OP? I'll text you right now.

How is that being considerate? He didn't turn his cellphone off
Keevarou 17
13, op did not mention anything about vibrate so. When he knew no damage would be done, I would say he is kind of considerate. There are some popular people that know they will get messages but still have phone at max volume at cinemas
Idonebeenhad 17
So according to you, he's being considerate because he has nobody that would text him?
Keevarou 17
He was thinking rationally about those around him and not to be a bother so :)
Idonebeenhad 17
Yes, but that's still not being considerate to keep his phone on...
ManInTheMachine 20
Break it up guys. Idonebeenbad obviously isn't used to Keevarou's ever-present positive attitude. It'll grow on you.

It grows on you like gangrene.

There is always a possibility the OP could of recieved a text, no matter how little the chance. In that case, the OP wasn't being considerate.

Idonebeenhad, you do know there's such thing called "silent", right?
skoob1 12
I'm not going to lie, I think keevs attitude is pretty annoying sometimes. He is the FML buzzkill.

Keevarou, when I first saw that you commented I got excited to read it because you seriously have the NICEST comments here on FML, always finding the positive things in the post. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

I'm gonna get down-voted to shit but... What the hell?! Idonebeenhad makes so much more sense... I have no idea how in any way that OP is being "considerate" maybe it's some unspoken detail but whatever.

Forever Alone
SecretMe00 5
Not necessarily, I've kept mine on loud because I knew I wouldn't get any calls and I have family all around me and a fiancé who's my best friend in the entire world. So no, OP is not "forever alone."
KrazieKleo 13
I'm alone too but not forever lol.

Nice job. Two terrible phrases used in one comment. Not many people can give up their dignity in such a way.

You're just asking to get verbally crucified. May God have mercy on your soul.

I can't imagine anyone would want to talk to you after that incident with the man with the breathing tube and the popcorn. (really old FML reference)
