Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my cell phone tech support to help with my Samsung device. They sent me contact info for Apple support. FML
Today, I took my iPod to Walmart to replace the battery. They tell me to call Apple. I go home again and call Apple. They tell me to call Walmart. I call Walmart. They tell me to bring it in. FML
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, my dad and I had a yelling match about me "lying", because I was unable to contact iTunes support without a phone number. To prove a point, he went online to find the phone number. It's been an hour and he's still searching for the number. I can't leave the table until he has found it. FML
Today, I waited 45 minutes at the Apple Store for my grandpa to very loudly ask why PornHub wasn't loading on his computer. FML
Today, I got a new phone. Only after berating the Sprint employee and Apple support desk because I could not call, text, or access the Internet did I find out that I didn't need to buy a new phone. It was just on airplane mode. FML
Today, I've spent far too long on hold to Apple customer support. Unfortunately the only thing to come from it is I now have "Call me maybe" stuck in my head. FML
Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML
Today, I was on the phone with tech support for over an hour, getting increasingly frustrated. After finally fixing the issue, I sarcastically said, "Thanks for nothing, genius," thinking I'd hung up the call. Turns out, I hadn’t. The tech guy coolly replied, "You’re welcome, genius." FML
Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps they're not really Apple Geniuses, but rather the meme kind.

You're suppose to google first, YouTube it, then go to the apple store, and as a last resort, call customer service for help. That's how it goes

Instead of saying it they should have taken you over to their computer and secretly googled it themselves. Atleast then they wouldn't have looked like complete dumbasses.

Just another bullet point on the list of reasons to hate Apple.

That reminds me, a friend of my dad (a real computer geniuse) got a phone call from a man he didn't know, the man said he got his number from Microsoft because they could not solve his problem after 3 days, my dads friend solved it in 15 min O_o

"Geniuses"

My advice to anyone having any sort of tech problem: google the problem and see if there's a fix you can do yourself. It saves a lot of time and hassle to do a little research beforehand, rather than going through three people at the Genius Bar.
