Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my phone company to get some answers about my phone bill. I was okay with being put on hold. In fact, I was on hold for so long, that the music stopped playing. When someone finally answered they told me to call back tomorrow. All my phones disconnected an hour later. FML
Today, I phoned up my bank's customer service department. I waited eleven minutes on hold with the lovely music, and when a woman finally picked up, I ran out of phone credit. FML
Today, I called the crisis helpline, and because my connection was cutting in and out for a moment, they hung up on me. When I called back, it was shift change, so they hung up again. FML
Today, I called tech support because my new computer wasn’t turning on. After a long while on the phone, they finally asked if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. I spent way too long troubleshooting with a dead device because I never plugged it into the outlet. FML
Today, I found out that it is possible for someone else to cancel my Internet, TV and phone services in two days. However it'll take me 5 days, after 6 hours on the phone, to get it back. FML
Today, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML
Today, after over a week of trying to get a hold of my doctor for a much-needed medication refill, he finally called back. Too bad my phone got unplugged and died in the middle of the night. FML
Today, I was unable to connect to the Internet. After calling support, I was informed that due to a cut cable, the whole country will have no service from that provider for some time. The. Whole. Country. FML
Today, the power went out at work. As everyone left the building to go home, the owner came in to inform me that, since the phones were on a battery back up, I would be staying to man them. The phones rang 2 times in the 4 hours I sat in the dark by myself. Both times were telemarketers. FML
Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#1 posts always suck. They are always written by people who frantically type the first thing that comes to their mind, desperately trying to get the first comment in.

Why do you guys care so much? OH_NOT_AGAIN isn't a troll, and he's not saying anything to get people angry. I don't see what the big deal is. @ OP-That kind of sucks, but shouldn't you be able to recharge it?

They care because the only thing they have in their lives in trying to be first on here, so when they dont get it they have to make fun of and/or bitch at the first poster. For me, i find the comments more entertaining than the actuall FML, because you have the idiots with no lives argueing about absolutely nothing. Usually brings a smile to my face in the morning :)

Couldn't agree more with #31 The little bitch-fights that people have over the whole "First!" thing are just ridiculous.

You deserve it- use a landline phone. It's cheaper and it won't die.

Didn't your phone beep to signal your battery was low? Either way, like what #10 said, you should have plugged it in.

company hotlines takes way too much time to anwser, so yes, FYL. #2 you're an ass, they have to ask you those questions because it's protocol. And sometimes customers are morons
