Today, I found out that, if timed just right, the alarm function on my phone can be disabled by a text message. And my dad has an impeccable sense of timing. I was 20 minutes late for work. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my phone alarm didn't go off this morning. Furious, I spent ten minutes complaining about technology before realizing I'd carefully set the alarm for 7:00 PM instead of 7:00 AM. The technology was actually innocent for once. FML
Today, I set an alarm labeled "DO NOT BE LATE." When it went off, I turned it off, congratulated myself for being responsible, and promptly went back to sleep. I woke up two hours later. FML
Today, I bought a new alarm clock because I kept sleeping through my phone alarms. The first morning, it went off exactly when planned. I promptly turned it off, went back to sleep for “5 minutes,” and woke up 3 hours later. The clock had been set correctly. I had just gone straight back to sleep. FML
Today, I heard my alarm go off, dragged myself out of bed, had breakfast and got ready for work. As I was heading out the door I checked the time again. It was 1:41 AM. Apparently my alarm never actually went off. FML
Today, I was running late and tried to sneak out of the house without waking anyone up. My phone alarm, which I forgot was set on max volume, blasted a loud “WAKE UP!” at 7 AM right as I opened the front door. Everyone in the house was wide awake instantly. FML
Today, my dad reactivated a digital clock we had lying around, and accidentally set an alarm on it. For 1 a.m.. So guess who went hunting for that noise in the middle of night. And guess who banished the thing to the living room, then forgot about it, and slept on the sofa in said living room. Or tried to. FML
Today, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. FML
Today, I set a silent alarm on my phone for 6:30 AM so I wouldn’t wake up my partner. Problem is, I forgot to turn off “Do Not Disturb” mode, so my alarm never went off. I woke up at 9:30 AM, still in pajamas, and missed a meeting with a client. I'm avoiding my manager's calls. FML
Today, my dad's work phone went off, and I thought I should go tell him since he's on call. Turns out no matter how you do it, a 47 year old man at one in the morning will think you are a burglar trying to attack him. FML
Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

WTF didn't u hear the text... fake.
Anteezy 7
If I'm asleep and I hear the sound from a text I just ignore it and go back to sleep, if however I hear the sound my alarm makes I proceed to actually get out of bed.

Text usually vibrates once, alarm 10! times. Ringtone will go off the same way. Dumbass. Note: this was a reply to 28, or 26. **** I can't see the number on my iPod Touch.

You know, not everyone has the same phone as you? Which means not everyones' texts make the same noise? Just thought you should know.

That was to #26.

lol, win.

If a phone is going to have an alarm, the alarm is going to ring for a long time. When you get a text, it will usually only ring 1-2 times. I'm just trying to show #26 how it wasn't fake. There's a difference between 10 rings and 2.

he probably wrote this after his shift. or maybe he wrote it at a stoplight during his commute. god damn.
FreakingFYou 13
he would say I WAS 20 minutes late. it would take to long to do at a stoplight unless it was extremely heavy traffic.

No, don't worry, you're not "pethetic".

splydoms, are you just an alias for snickerdoodles? If not, then it's just eerie how similar you two are.
Metzler31 17
only when it is a complete sentence is it inside the quotes, not just a single word. way to go though, grammar nazi.
null_fml 11
Hahahaha, splydoms got owned.
boopityboppity 11
Just a quick note: I wasn't trying to poke fun at splydoms and/or snickerdoodles, I was just curious. I think snickerdoodles is awesome.

Not that it matters on a site like this where text speech is the norm, but the period does go inside the quotation marks, even if it's just one word.
TheDaveCA 1
realggirl, it's actually valid to put punctuation inside or outside the quotes, depending on whether or not you're quoting the punctuation. If it's ambiguous or irrelevant than it's a style choice.

Oh My God! Another grammar war!? It's the Internet who cares?

Pshh, yeah it's your dad's fault you're 20 minutes late and not the fact you're on FML. It's fun to blame, isn't it? :]

They probably didn't post it right away. They probably just wrote it as if it was happening right then.
