Today, I woke up to my cell phone alarm buzzing. It wasn't time to wake up yet, so I snoozed it. It buzzed again, this time with "One New Voicemail." I had "snoozed" my nephew. Stationed in Iraq. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. FML
Today, I turned my phone off for the first time in three weeks to have a one-hour nap. I had kept it on because my next door neighbour has health problems and I offered to be an emergency call if he needed help. I was woken up by two ambulances arriving at his house. Turning on my phone, he'd left me 5 voicemails. FML
Today, I forgot what I was doing while listening to a voicemail and started talking back to it. FML
Today, my alarm went off. I snoozed it, and went on to dream that I got out of bed, did my business, brushed my teeth, took my breakfast, changed into my working attire, and was ready for work that morning. My alarm rang a second time, I had to do all that over again. 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 woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, the phone kept ringing so I picked it up and answered. When there was no response, it took a minute to realize that I was still in bed and talking to my hand. FML
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
Today, on the train, I got excited when I suddenly noticed I had a missed call and voicemail from a boy I liked. With a grin on my face, I told my friend. My dad overheard and said, "Oh sweetie, he probably had the wrong number." The voicemail was blank. I texted him. The call was indeed an accident. FML
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your ringtone and cell phone alarm should be different sounds

Hey, it happens. I do this all the time by accident. I'm still so half asleep my mind just doesn't differentiate between the two tones. I just know it's the cell ringing and I expect it to be the alarm.

I did that to my best friend once by accident. In a sleepy daze, I just didn't make the connection. But I opened the phone and then closed it, and she thought I was mad at her. >.>

Agreed with #14 and leave the religious thoughts somewhere else. we all got our own views and belief keep it on a forum that cares. even though i believe i wont go in to it cause its not worth the time. :D thanks for reading.

that shit happens to me too. but really your phone should have separate ringtones for people and for alarms. you deserve it.

And that is why you don't use the same ringtone for calls as alarms. Believe me, I had to learn that lesson the hard way too.

i use the same ringtone. but it's because i know it works for me because i think someone's calling so i wake up. when i use separate ringtones i know it's just the alarm so i ignore it. you just have to find what works best for you.

I did that once to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, calling me from my brother's cell phone at 2 in the morning.

WTF is up with all these ******* Christians trolling this post? Creationism is bullshit, face the facts, science is the only way forward in this world.

#28, you're either being an asshole or deliberately missing the point. Missed calls aren't FMLs, but soldiers stationed in Iraq don't frequently get the chance to make a call back home. When it's the first phone call OP's gotten in a few weeks, or a month, and she accidentally hung up on him and doesn't know the next time she'll hear from him, it's a big FHL.
