Today, I found out that it is possible for someone else to cancel my Internet, TV and phone services in two days. However it'll take me 5 days, after 6 hours on the phone, to get it back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML
Today, after two weeks with no internet, we had a technician repair our service at our apartment. An hour later, one of my neighbors at the same complex yelled at us because the same technician disconnected her service by mistake. FML
Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML
Today, it's the sixth day since the VDSL cable connected to my house was cut off by a truck driver. It's now the third time this month, and last time it took around 17 days for the internet provider to send someone to fix it. I've already spend $50 on internet just to be able to work over the last week. FML
Today, I've been receiving a lot of calls from my telephone company, offering combo packages with internet, Netflix, Disney+ and whatever the fuck. We had previously resigned from their services, because the company never had the intention of fixing an outage that was caused BY THE SAME COMPANY. FML
Today, I called my phone company to get some answers about my phone bill. I was okay with being put on hold. In fact, I was on hold for so long, that the music stopped playing. When someone finally answered they told me to call back tomorrow. All my phones disconnected an hour later. FML
Today, I was unable to connect to the Internet. After calling support, I was informed that due to a cut cable, the whole country will have no service from that provider for some time. The. Whole. Country. FML
Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML
Today, British Telecom disconnected my landline by mistake. Their call centre in India tried to reach me. Result, they spoke to an unknown gentleman, who told them he didn't need a phone line at my address. Reconnection in 2 business days. FML
Today, I finally got my phone and internet services reinstated after a billing mishap. During the week that I was without service, I had 3 requests for interviews and a position offer. None of those opportunities are still available. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How is that possible? I can't even pay my own phone bill without a metaphorical DNA test. Seriously if someone calls up wanting to pay my bills just let them!

if your services are just in your name and no one elses, make a fuss about it and get some compensation like a discount or something

"We can be there tomorrow between 10AM and the Apocalypse." I can only assume an ended relationship caused this? Crafty bitches be ghetto. Eating carryout/delivery by candlelight brings me back to the rough days. Keep your head up and stay positive cause someone tried ruining your week. Don't let them succeed!

Just say that you want to cancel the internet, tv and phone of everyone on your street as it seems anybody can cancel anybody else's utilities. That usually sorts it.

who do you have that it takes 2 days to cancel and 5 to turn back on? I can get mine cancelled/ turned on in about 15 minutes.

Switch service providers for allowing this to happen or make em give you six months free, make it work out in your favor, make them feel like idiots which they are. Oh yeah GROW THE HELL UP.

I work for a phone company it happens all the time. You can ask to be given temporary mobile broadband in the mean time. But that's about it.
