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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML
Today, my stomach growled so loudly in class that my professor told us to make sure our phones were silenced. FML
Today, while teaching my class, I hooked my laptop up to the projector and put on a documentary. I left it playing and went to the toilet. When I came back, the whole class was talking to my mother. She must've Skyped me while I was gone and someone answered the call. FML
Today, our teacher forgot to collect our phones when we arrived at school. We almost managed to take our phones back to the dormitory but someone's phone rang TWICE in the corridor and she remembered the whole thing. FML
Today, my phone rang just seconds after I left a conference meeting to go use the restroom. It wouldn't have been a problem, except it seems one of my friends thought it would be funny to change my ringtone to a woman having an orgasm. FML
Today, I purposely set my phone off in class to make it seem like I had friends. FML
Today, my phone rang during a meeting. I quickly silenced it, and put it in my pocket. A few minutes later, my boss’s phone rang. It was me, butt-dialing him while we were sitting in the same room. He answered and asked if I had something urgent to discuss. I did not. FML
Today, I needed to call my mom to get some info so I dialled the number on my work phone. Not 2 seconds after, my cellphone rang. I got super pissed off because I hate when people call me on my cell at work. It was me. I'd dialled my own number. FML
Today, my friend's phone rang in class and my teacher thought it was me, so now I have detention for a week. FML
Today, a quiet afternoon at the library turned stressful when my phone started blasting music. Every attempt to silence it somehow increased the volume. After seconds of panic, I realised the sound wasn't coming from my phone. It was a kid's toy buried somewhere in my backpack after a visit from my niece. The reading room people still glared at me like I did it on purpose. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#29 - I'm a teacher and I would NEVER repeat the OP's behavior, no matter how frustrated I am.

i do understand that teachers get annoyed by phones going off but give us a break and we arent stupid enough to leave it where it is going to ring and interrupt again! and if your phone is going off then why dont you give your students a ******* break cuz now you see it happens to everyone at some point
yeahreally 6
and thats when you get over it! phones always go off....my professors just ignore it or stop talking till its off. its no big deal

I agree with #29. The teacher overreacted, but it's effing ANNOYING when you're in class and there are idiots text-messaging and having their phones go off constantly. I get that people forget to turn them off sometimes, but to leave them on constantly is just BS. You're not the only ones in the class and the rest of the class didn't pay to listen to your ringtones/vibrations (yes, those are loud too) or have class interrupted because you got an urgent call from one of your friends. Nevertheless, yelling and screaming over it is a bit irrational-- if somewhat understandable (I know it sucks being a student around people who don't have enough decency to turn their phones off)-- and you did deserve it.
