Today, I was at a concert. It was dark and everyone was singing and waving their lit-up phones in the air. I was having a great time, until someone snatched my £200 phone out of my hand. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was entertaining people during an extra curricular school function in order to help "brighten people's spirits in their time of need." After it was all over, I found out that my phone had been stolen. FML
Today, I went to evening Mass. I later found that sometime between entering the church and receiving Communion, someone had snatched my iPhone straight out of my handbag. FML
Today, my phone got stolen at church. FML
Today, at a concert, I tried to film my favorite song for Instagram. I sang along dramatically, screamed the chorus, and danced like no one was watching. When I rewatched the video later, I realized I had my phone camera flipped, recording my sweaty, overexcited face the entire time. FML
Today, I went to a gig. The drummer threw his drumsticks out at the end and I managed to catch one. With my face. Not only did I get a black eye, but the person next to me snatched the drumstick from my hands. FML
Today, I fell asleep listening to my music and tanning at the beach. Not only did I wake up with a sunburn, but my iPhone had been stolen. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, I was walking home, when I realized I didn't have my phone on me. After retracing my steps, I realized that I'd been listening to music from my phone the entire time. FML
Today, I got on the bus and the driver said I didn't have to pay since the ticket machine was broken. I was happy to have saved £2.40 until I realised someone had stolen my new £700 phone while I was talking to the driver. FML
Today, I was looking at the map on my phone whilst walking down a street. I heard the sound of a bike behind me so I moved to let the cyclist past. He snatched the phone out of my hand and sped off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

1) call it 2) triangulate it 3) collect it 4) beat the shit out of the guy that took it

That sucks. Hope you have insurance
DjeePee 25
Just a question: is there really a kind of insurance where you get a new phone when your old one is stolen?
Akkuze 9
As long as you report it to the police and were looking after it properly when it happened (holding it your hand and having it snatched away I think would count for that...) then yes, there is insurance that will cover it.
Senseless_487 29
As a matter of fact, 10, there is, at least with AT&T. If you buy the insurance, it'll cover anything, being it damage, loss, or theft. I believe it's a $100 deductible to get the new phone, as well.
freshberries22 17
A lot of the deductibles for phones are just as much as buying a new one op should cut their losses and buy a new one and next time be more diligent about protecting their stuff
Senseless_487 29
Depends on the phone. Without a two year contract, my phone would be 600 bucks. I'd much rather pay the $100 deductible if it was stolen.
loloalltheway 23
You should have held it harder ... Anyways FYL stuff like that happens just get a new one and be more carful
chillyCholo 5
Yea, because having a death-grip on your expensive phone is a great idea
42istheanswer 27
'cause everyone has money for expensive phones, on short notice
katiedoll6 7
Money doesn't grow on trees
loloalltheway 23
Ok sorry For spelling wrong , english is my 2nd language .... And i know that but bringing your phone to a concert obviously is a huge risk and if OP held it harder in a " so called death-grip" OP still would have the phone ... But i know money doesn't grow on trees and i Will think after next time i comment something about money, sorry
cawoods 1
That's terrible. I've had something similar to that happen to me. It really does suck.

You guys should know better! When I go to a concert I always wear a pair of shorts with zippy pockets and keep my phone in there. People steal shit at concerts a lot so if you are dumb enough to put a 200 dollar phone in the air and wave it like you just don't care someone's bound to take it. Learn from your mistake.
ebonyirony 29
Unless I'm noshing, my phone goes down my bra. Then I leave it with a friend.
acidkitten 14
78- what, your bra?
Hozu 3
Actually that already exists I believe. Unless the picture that I saw where there was a pocket for a phone in the side straps was photoshopped...
CallMeMcFeelii 14
I wish I had boobs..when I mosh with my phone in my zippy pocket I end up with a nasty bruise on my leg by the end of the day.
Meettitan 14
114 I think boobs might put you at a disadvantage in the mosh pit. I could be mistaken though, there are some scary girls out there.

That's what's wrong with the world. One should be able to bare their personal items in public with out harm or theft! But you can't. People suck!

It was an Android, wasn't it? Those things are way nicer than iPhones. Now before I get flamed by Apple fanboys, I was jk.

They both have there perks.
countrygirl626 16
I've had both an android and iPhone. I personally prefer the iPhone. My iPhone doesn't spazz out and randomly turn off and turn back on.

Call it?! He just had his phone stolen....
MissMae93 23
73 I believe that OP's actually a girl.
jeresaw11 3
No. U can still triangulate it. As long as the battery of the phone is being used.
ollie179 21
Should of gone with the old fashioned cigarette lighter!
rubberduckie94 13
I know, right? That's what we did. Don't know why your thumbed down. I guess it's to old school for all the young little whipper snappers.
babalooisbabaloo 5
Yeah let's see them try to grab hold of that
Slender_Man 6
They're not allowed anymore because they are considered a fire hazard
Smashhoof 15
200 pounds... That's a heavy phone xD
perdix 31
Damn right! That thief must have brass balls to steal from someone who can lift a 200-pound phone over his head!

Man, must be one of thoes phones from the 1990's...

#72. Not to mention the low call quality with a lethal dose of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
btstig 11
Should have snatched a knot in their head!
MissMae93 23
Uh... OP should have done what to the thief's head? I'm so ridiculously confused.
btstig 11
Apparently I'm the only one from down south Louisiana on this FML comment section. It's an expression. Same as " should have busted their ass".
ebonyirony 29
18/92- it's okay. It was pretty evident from your comment that it meant physical harm.
