Today, I realized the only reason my phone ever rings is because someone needs help with their computer. FML

Today, my aged mother continued to complain about her computer issues to me. A relative, who is good at tech support, won't bother servicing her computer because whatever she does ends up bogging it down the next day, so I have to hear about it on the phone. FML

Today, I called my cell phone tech support to help with my Samsung device. They sent me contact info for Apple support. FML

Today, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML

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, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, I called tech support because my new computer wasn’t turning on. After a long while on the phone, they finally asked if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. I spent way too long troubleshooting with a dead device because I never plugged it into the outlet. FML

Today, as always, I had to have my dad help me with my computer issues. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? FML

Today, after a 16-hour day fixing the computer network at my workplace, I didn't even get a "Thank you". I did, however, get people whining about how, "That computer crap never works" and, "Why do we need IT anyway?" FML

Today, my dad once again had to help me with my technological issues. Isn’t it usually the other way around? FML

Today, I was trying to turn on my computer and couldn't. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong when I finally called my husband for help and made him leave work. He came in, looked at the wall, and plugged it back in. The look on his face said it all. FML

I'm sure you'll find a girl that will turn your floppy disk into a hard disk.

Unless you're getting paid, tell people friendship is a two-way street, and you will not be helping anyone who can't take the time to contact you unless they need help. You may find they start calling more often.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

My first thought! Of course, if he was as cute as Roy or Moss, his phone would ring more. No offense, OP. By the way, could I have your number? I'm having an issue with my laptop. I have cute single friends and beer. :)

Maybe you should get a job in IT. Your friends think your smart do at least they know who to call.
