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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

Fires and burns. Fires and burns happened.

That sucks. Try calling the phone company (with your home phone) and telling them about it. See what they can do.

Home phone? What's that?

A phone that people have at home.

Why would you pay so much money for a phone anyway?
btstig 11
Have you ever purchased a phone before ?

Because smart phones don't come cheap.

I don't know how pounds compare to the American dollar, but over here a fancy smart phone can cost $500-600.

Plus a data plan.

Here you can buy phones for up to $600 And you keep it without a plan. The only downside is you just spent $600 on a phone that will probably be worthless in a couple of years. Buying a plan though can be just as expensive. Smartphones range from $0-200. Plus plans for them aren't cheap. As long as your phone gets what you need done, then it's worth it. But these phones come on a 3 year contract and you can't switch phones until its up. If you want a new phone it'll end up costing you big $$.

Here in the UK an iPhone 4s can cost you £500-£600 (780-940 USD) but then apple products cost more here than in the US. It's pretty easy to spend £200 on a phone.

If it's a smartphone it should have a tracker, call the police and they'll find it

If it was a smartphone, it wouldn't have let something as dumb as allowing itself to be stolen to happen.

This is exactly why I don't go to concerts... FYL,OP.

If that's exactly why you don't go to concerts (afraid of people stealing your phone), then just don't bring it or put it somewhere safe. LOL Concerts are fun, especially if it's someone you really want to see.
1DRuleMyLife 2
Yeah.That comment was a dumb move on my part.

Why would you use a >$300 US phone to do the job that could be done better with a 79-cent lighter? Serves you right for being a trendy hipster doofus show-off!
Senseless_487 29
I guess lighters are just too mainstream. Goddam hipsters...
expertsmilee 26
What about a 200 pound lighter? 0.o
DocBastard 40
Why the hell would you use such an expensive object so frivolously? Smart phones are not necessarily owned by smart owners.

That's why they have to be smartphones doc, to compensate.

You must be pretty strong if you can hold a phone over your head that's 200 pounds.
mario2012 18
Congratulations, you missed the joke.

45- Ever heard of sarcasm?
spacemanspiff78 7
Since OP used the symbol and didn't write out "pounds," I'm fairly certain mario knew that and his comment was a pun that you completely missed. Moron.
EternalHatred 3
Um, he obviously knows that, he was making a joke. So, enlighten me, who here is the dumbshit? XD
