Today, I was at my little girl's concert. She plays the clarinet, and in the middle of her solo, her phone started ringing. She decided to stop, check her phone, and continue playing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was about to get on stage for a choir concert, and realized I had no where to put my phone. Running out of time, I tucked it in the front of my dress and got on stage. I should have put it on silent first. FML
Today, while at a football game, I had my arm around my girlfriend. We were really close and I was just about to kiss her when suddenly her phone rang. It was her dad, telling her he's watching. FML
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML
Today, my girlfriend thought it'd be funny to change my ringtone to some guy crooning "Thank heaven for little girls" and then call me during today's teacher-parent conference. FML
Today, I had my last orchestra concert and had a large solo. My dad came to watch and record it; however, the whole time he recorded another girl, thinking it was me. FML
Today, I accidentally unmuted my mic during a class, and normally it would've just been silence, but dumb old me just had to sing a song at the top of my lungs, and I only stopped when my phone blew up with notifications. Great. FML
Today, I was with my girlfriend and she was making me listen to one of her recordings for chorus. As I was listening to it, a solo came on, and i turned to her and said, "This is the worst fucking solo I've ever heard in my life." Little did I know, it was her solo. FML
Today, I was playing piano for a wedding rehearsal. Bored, I decided to pass the time playing through a book of music I found in the piano bench. Some time later the bride turned to me and screamed at me to stop. I had turned the page and had begun to play "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off." 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, the phone rang while I was on the toilet. I asked my 3-year-old daughter to answer it, only for her to loudly say, "Mommy's on the toilet pooping." FML

How old is she and what happened afterwards?

I hope she's not really little.. She shouldn't have a phone if that's the case.

What we should really be questioning is societies dependence on technology!! What was so important that she stopped in the middle of a solo to attend to?!
KingDead 18
My thoughts exactly #11... But it's not so much society at fault.. As it is the governments and monetary economic system that we live in. For western civilization for the most part.

Ive gotta say, it does always irritate me when people mindlessly blame things on 'society'- its all I hear now. When will people realize that THEY are part of society?
ironichalibut 24
Government and economics aren't the problem, it's the way WE and our peers (basically society as a whole) utilize/use them and how privately owned interest groups use them. What people need to realize is that all elected governments are a reflection of the people. Everyone's voice gets heard in the democratic motto, and through votes it does, and if you want to make your voice louder, there's ways to do that. Economics and governance are driving points in any society, any problem that arises is from form, not function.

So many errors, don't maul me though, it's late where I am.

38 couldn't be more right... When people say 'society' I say 'parents'. My children won't be touching social technology until they're 16... Plus all my life I've never been interested in TV. Hate if you must, but I'll be rich.

We have become "Borg Nation" Resistance is futile. Discussion is irrelevant. Text on, cello dudette.

#24 I just love these "blame society" people. "Yea, it's society! That one over there!" *points* "Yea, me and my deserted island have no such problems. You don't see us texting during recitals; we're better than that."

She picked up her phone Like A Boss!

Height shouldn't restrict people from owning mobile phones! What about the midgets...?!

Sadly age is not the case anymore. My 3-4 year old cousins own an iPhone and Samsung. ):

You're kidding, right? @78

@86 I'm not. Children these days are so spoiled.

Do they ever use it? Like as a phone? That's just way to young.
Pleonasm 36
Well maybe she has those obnoxious musical keys on her phone and she was actually just doing an improv to the song before bringing back the clarinet for the big ending. I call it: textissimo.

3 - The classical music world combined with the modern technological world? Genius! My prodigy senses are tingling :-D
Lenho 26
YDI. If she's too young, she shouldn't have a cellphone (at least during the concert); if she's a bit older, she has to get priorities right.
KingDead 18
Also, OP deserves it for getting their daughter into the mindset she's in.
lilhellian 27
Parents can guide them, but how the hell do they force a mindset?

Hypnosis, doctor recommended, kid approved (but only after completion)

But it was her phone! Her phone I'd more important than anything! Don't you know that??? Gees, I bet you're one of those old prudes who's scared to send a text while you're driving. Pfffft... Whatever.

This is sarcasm, right?
gracehi 33
*is
gracehi 33
No, 6, I'm being completely serious. I totally condone distracted driving. Nothing delights me more than auto accidents.
Original_Outcast 23
No, I said this because there really was an idiot who said something similar to this to my face. He was serious. That makes me have less faith in humanity, when it isn't sarcasm.
gracehi 33
And you did humanity a favor and punched this person in the face, yes?
kyu_Q 19
I would condone a face punch in this case. It's sad when one has to state 'sarcasm' in their comments because people don't know the difference. Or worse some people actually think that way.
Mr_Satan 11
I generally just assume the completely foolish comments are sarcasm as a buffer to the thought that the world will actually end up like the movie, Idiocracy...

It's simple. Take her phone away. She can have it if she's done with clarinet practice, homework and chores.
onorexveritas 24
hopefully, someday she'll look back and realize how utterly ridiculous it was of her. I hope you took a video
jerzjay 17
Come on people, stop teaching this guy how to raise his kids. I'm sure he feels bad enough for being known as "THAT Parent"
annie_nk 23
He shouldn't have posted this on FML then.
karlcolt45 19
maybe it was squidward, sending her some pointers.
hama806 19
How rude...oh wait...yes how rude.
gracehi 33
Yeah, and we thought it was rude when an AUDIENCE MEMBER leaves their phone ringer on. How naive we were.
