Today, I was visiting my new in-laws for the first time. During an awkward silence, I took my phone and figured I'd send my friend a text jokingly saying "Mayday, mayday! Somebody save me!" My mood lightened up a little and I felt quite well until my mother-in-law's phone beeped. Yep. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on the road for work for the first time in a very long time. I was enjoying lunch with coworkers when my phone got bombarded with calls and texts. Turns out my wife and my mother had gotten into a fight within two hours of me being away. FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML
Today, I attended a funeral. During the minute of silence, my phone went off. My ringtone is "It's good to be alive". FML
Today, I was so happy to hear my phone go "Ding" that I jumped for joy out of my couch. It was actually a character on my TV getting a text. FML
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML
Today, someone knocked at my door. I saw it was my Mom, so I flattened myself against the door and tried to be as quiet as possible. I pulled my phone out and almost had silenced it before she called and heard the ringtone through the door. I had to invite her in and hear the usual "get married and have kids." FML
Today, I got overly excited because someone texted me, but then realized that moments before, I had sent myself a message. FML
Today, I finally taught my mom how to text message people. Now I get a message from her every 30 seconds saying "Hi". FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, after my wife and mother in law criticized me for being glued to my phone, I set out to prove them wrong by being away from it. When I finally opened it, my family was upset because my grandma died and they had been trying to reach me for several hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you the same guy that "accidentally"sent a nude picture to his best friend? You really need to check the person you're sending the message to.

Am I the only one who double checks the name or the number of who I'm texting before I send it?

I bet the silence ended... It was probably replaced with lots of yelling though

I don't understand how she even has her mother-in-law's number when she was meeting her for the first time there.

you don't read about the people who do because we aren't stupid giving us that sort of fml situation.

yeah, ,, you deserve it

Hmm. I also wish to express my opinion that OP deserved it. You know what they should do? Make an area where we can click and vote whether or not they deserved it or their life sucks!

Always check who you send stuff to.

When I read it I hoped you were male because then you could somehow pass it off as an intentional joke. Oh, those wacky husbands! But, sadly, I see you are a woman dealing with a new mother-in-law. I'm so sorry.

Alternatively she could attempt to pass it off as a thread of messages between her and her friend quoting a song or film... Doesn't really work but it could have been worth a try!

Your mother-in-law is your best friend?

That's when you say, "I'm having trouble getting service, can I borrow your phone?"

Have you never met your in laws before or have you just never visited them in their own home before?

That's what I was thinking - if she's never met his mother in law why does she have her number?
dalnice 5
*her mother in law. Apparently I'm gender confused :(

Just play it off as a joke. They'll never know.
