Today, I took my new iPhone into a technician to complain that when people called me, the audio was very quiet and muffled. Convinced it was a fault, I demanded a replacement. That is when he peeled off the factory issued protective screen that covered the ear piece. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." FML
Today, my iPod came back from repair and still had a distorted sound. I've been through calls, meetings, and repairs with Apple since Christmas, and it still sounds like the half speaker in my old car. Then I found out the new Nano requires you to push the headphones plug in harder. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because I wouldn't give her a new iPhone 5 for free to replace her broken Nokia, which she threw out the window in "blind rage". I felt awful having to thank her for calling. Sadly, this is a daily event. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML
Today, on an important call with a potential employer, he began to speak quieter and quieter until I couldn't hear him at all. When I finally hung up after waiting for 5 minutes, I realized that I had been pressing down on the volume button. FML
Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

iPhones are usually shit.. but I think 3GS' are sometimes quite cool

I work for AT&T and have had at least 5 other customers do the same thing to me. Need to be more observant! :)
Keyman1212 14
Yep, I had a brief stint with Apple where I had to do the exact same thing, Me- "Ma'am, have you removed the screen cover yet?" Oblivious old woman-"what's that?" Me- *sigh* "Here you go ma'am, it should be fine now." *contemplate how to commit suicide with a MacBook*

If you cant work an iPhone, you shouldn't buy an iPhone.

That screen doesn't mess up the audio maybe those dumbasses should turn the volume up. Noobs.

Indeed it does mess with the speakers when not on speaker phone. First thing I was told when I bought my iPhone.

my opinion of the iphone 5: i think apple is now just going overboard! and now tht bill gates quit apple, its gonna be shit! and all the crazed apple finatics just buy and buy as much apple products as they can because they are obsessed and cant think for themselves!
itsame0987 18
Ummm 166 know what you're talking about before you comment. Bill Gates is with Microsoft not Apple. Steve Jobs is the one that just left Apple. Also Apple is better, fewer crashes better performance.

Can you hear me now?

Ha ha I did the same thing.. Not demanding tho. But funny anyhow. I wanted to keep as much protection on the phone as possible and wasn't aware that those didn't have earholes. They sell sheets to replace those
drawmesunshine 17
I do. That's the first thing I do to a new phone or whatever. And if I'm playing with someone else's phone, I always ask if I can peel their stickers off. They usually say no. The stickers really, really bother me.

Exactly, you can't even plug it up without moving the tab.
kiran_fml 5
Some people cut it off and leave the rest on for protection
cinderella10383 6
People must be too cheap to spend 10.00 on a 3 pk of screen protectors personally I don't use one the screen is too pretty but I do have a case and am thankful I do
chickenflem 8
Mine didn't have a tab and i was waiting for the screen protectors I ordered to come in so I didn't take off the protector and stupidly thought the phone was busted or retarded cuz the voice was so low..... Honest mistake, it's all good OP

And on the flip side, I went in to an Apple store several times to try a fix a warbling sound that only happened when I listened to podcasts. Three Apple guys failed to notice that I had inadvertently set the playback speed on 2x. Didn't earn their money there.

Funny thing.. It actually happened to a friend of mine like yesterday.. So its not just you.. Next time just pay closer attention..
