Today, I was entered into an online contest where they announce your name on the radio and if you call in within an hour they pay your bills for you. I'm unemployed, so I got really excited when they announced my name. My call wouldn't go through - I hadn't paid my phone bill and the line was disconnected. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to try and call into a local radio station to try and win concert tickets for one of my favorite bands. I called in and was actually the winning number. When asked my name I answered quickly, but all I heard was "Hello? Hello?" Then they hung up. My cell phone was on mute. FML
Today, I was caller number nine on the radio, meaning I technically won the contest. I was too awkward, so they hung up on me. FML
Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML
Today, I finally managed to get through to the radio station that I always listen to. I handed the phone to my dad so he could win the prize for me, because I'm under 18. He hung up because he thought it was a prank call. FML
Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call for an interview. Right in the middle of the call, my phone hung up so the music app could open. I tried calling them back and got no response. FML
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 lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, I was called up about a job I'd recently applied for. I was overly excited to tell them I'd be there on Monday. Then I remembered I canceled my car insurance due to financial difficulties. I have no way of getting there. FML
Today, I was the 10th caller on a radio show. I answered the question correctly. The DJ informed I won a free air guitar of my choosing. I yelled with excitement over the air. The DJ then instructed me how to use my new air guitar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Apparently you pay your internet bill. And really, in an hour you couldn't find someone with a cell phone or use a payphone? YDI.

#3: He shouldn't listen to me...but instead do exactly what I said he should have done? Interesting.

Can you read sweetie? You telling OP to find a better job is ignorant, seeing as they CLEARLY stated they were UNEMPLOYED. That was half the point of the entire story! Clearly, your IQ will likely fail you in respect to "finding a better job" or even a job in general. It's okay though. You're just a kid. You're also the epitome of what gives blondes a bad name. Shame on you.

nah, don't listen to #3. #1 is right. i'm sure you have neighbors, friends, pay phones, somewhere nearby that you could have gotten to to call in. you absolutely deserved it.

I know if I had to choose I'd definitely stop paying the phone bill before the Internet bill. But you had an hour to go find a phone and didn't? You fail.

Wasting time on the internets and calling into radio shows instead of sending out resumes and filling out job apps? You're an idiot.
AmberAusgeflippt 13
Wow. When you look for a job, you have SO much discipline that you completely abstain from every single activity that isn't specifically revolved around sending resumes or filling out applications? You spend 24/7 doing NOTHING other than sending resumes or filling out applications? I mean really? You know what they say about rude outbursts and judgements such as yours, its simply an outward expressions of an inner essence. I wish you much happiness at some point in your future. I'll pray for you, despite my lack of any religious faith whatsoever! lol
