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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Even as a pleased S3 owner myself, I don't understand why you and many others care even 0.00001% what phones total strangers use or don't use.

They say that all the time! Or else they google it themselves!

If google and duct tape can't fix it then it can't be fixed. :)

Sounds just like my father. He has his masters in computer science and has worked as the IT directer at many colleges, and he still insists I "google it" if there is a problem.... really dad? FYL

People assume that just because someone works in the technology industry, they want to spend all their time handing out free tech support. This is not true. It might sound heartless, but when literally all of your family and friends ask you for help "occasionally" it adds up to *someone* bugging you multiple times a week. If you would just *try* to look it up yourself you would find that most of the time it is simple to fix, assuming you can read and follow directions.

^Agreed. I can get really tired when family/friends bug me for the simplest issues. It's not that I don't want to help them, but it seems like a waste of my time to come over there just to hit the "On" switch, because they couldn't be bothered to check it.

Well what is wrong with your iPhone? someone here on FML might be able to help, hope you can figure it out, maybe try restoring it in iTunes.

I would have googled it first, then if I didn't find the answer, take it in. That's what I do Every time my iPhone works up.
