Today, I tried to charge my phone at school by removing the socket for the fan. All the computers in the room turned off. I accidentally removed the power cables for the computers and got suspended. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML
Today, I was at the library, working with some classmates on our major semester project. I accidentally killed power to the row of computers by me. I've never had so many enraged faces looking at me before. FML
Today, I tried to fix my laptop charger by fiddling around with it using metal tweezers. Not only did I forget to unplug the cord and shocked myself, I also ended up breaking the charger completely. FML
Today, I stole a classmate’s graphic calculator because I couldn’t afford one. She reported it missing to the professor. He wouldn’t let anyone leave class until it turned up. Not even saying I had diarrhea had him let me go. In fact, he told me to empty my backpack right there and then. I’m suspended. FML
Today, while trying to get my phone to charge, I shoved in the cable harder and harder and tried to wobble it so my phone would charge. After snapping the USB input from the force, I saw the plug was switched off. FML
Today, my phone stopped charging. I panicked because I can't really afford to get it fixed, and it's too stressful a time at my last semester at university to not have a phone. I took it to the repair shop, and the man turned it off and on again. it works perfectly. I'm a total idiot. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, while I was out of the office, I'd left my phone charging inside. My boss informed me that since I am clearly running up her electricity bill, it will be deducted out of my already nearly non existent paycheck. FML
Today, after spending 6 hours straight working on a project at school, I decided to call it a night. The instant I set foot out of the lab, the building started screaming. The maintenance guy had set the alarm without telling me. The police had to let me out. FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just unplug random devices without checking what they're plugged into so you can steal electricity from the government. How could that go wrong?

Just find an open outlet, there everywhere at school. Don't be so glued to technology you have to unplug something possibly important so you can text.

I hope, for humanity's sake, that we have a solar flare strong enough to fry every cell phone in the world. Maybe then we would start to truly socialize with each other. That, and it would kill Facebook. Granted, it would probably take out FML too, but it is a sacrifice worth making. Excuse me now, I need to check my Twitter feed.

Cellphones can withstand higher temperatures than humans. That solar flare would kill us. Therefore, your plan wouldn't work.

Its not the temperature that would do anything it the type of radiation and the fact that a direct hit would break through our magnetosphere and it would also take down power grids as it would fry all computers or most at least, cell phones would be the least of our worries.

We would just go back to ignoring each other the way we did before cell phones. Books, newspapers, sewing, working etc. also hoping that would happen would hope for people to be killed. Pacemakers and such.

Yeah, how could that go wrong? Suddenly society is plunged into the 1800's; nothing bad would happen. Modern medical equipment, traffic lights, communications, navigation systems, planes, and other electronics going out all at once? I'm sure nothing would happen.

You can find portable chargers for relatively cheap. It's convenient if you have a rapidly draining battery like I do. I graduated high school a decade ago and cell phones weren't that big a thing yet. I understand the need for one, but at the same time there's a time and a place for it

USB type C chargers can get relatively expensive, but if he doesn't have USB C then I agree. :)

Why don't you just plug into a computer?

1. There have to be open outlets somewhere 2. Do you really need your phone that badly in school that it couldn't wait until you found one of said outlets? 3. Assuming you have a charger much like anyone else's these days, it has a USB, which you could have plugged into one of the computers. In conclusion, this could have easily been avoided.

Most phones are charged via usb which is then plugged into an adapter which is plugged into a socket... Logically speaking you were better off plugging it into one of the many computers you crashed. Use your effing brain! That's the problem with people today, they don't think.

Once when I was younger, I unplugged the computers in that room as I was curious as to what they would do. Turns out it set the entire school server out of sync with everyone else's computers, too. Learned my lesson on that one, and maybe OP has too, even though getting suspended is a little much for such a mistake.

yeah, you wouldn't be an idiot would you?

I feel like I have no choice but to say that you deserve it. I always charge my phone when I go to bed and then it's always at full battery life.

No problem with taking a phone to school, but I absolutely hate it when kids are constantly glued to their phones to the point they have to charge them because they drain them so quickly. Those are the kids that are probably on there phone while the teacher is in the middle of a lesson. Grow up.
