Today, my best friend jokingly blocked my number until I apply for a job. She is also supposed to be picking me up from the airport, so now I have no way to contact her to tell her what time. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my friend. It wasn't until I got there that I realized I'd come on the wrong day. Her flight arrived yesterday, so that explains her radio silence for the past two days. I just thought she was in transit, but turns out she's pissed at me and wants me to pay for the Uber ride she had to take home from the airport. FML
Today, my best friend, who I speak to pretty much all day, every single day, started dating someone and blocked and ghosted me. I guess my only close friend wasn't such a good friend after all. FML
Today, my friend, who had begged me to buy them a plane ticket after being stranded overseas, blocked me. They didn't even use the ticket. FML
Today, my long distance girlfriend of 6 months, who landed in Canada last week, and for whom I was supposed to travel from Toronto to Vancouver next week to meet her for the first time, blocked me. FML
Today, I found out why my sister hasn't been answering my texts or phone calls. Her husband blocked my number on her phone. FML
Today, my best friend, who reckons I'm doing a terrible job at finding a boyfriend, has started giving out my number to all the men she thinks "look trustworthy" in the subway. FML
Today, my friend posted my phone number all over the Internet, claiming I was a deranged stalker who prank called her. I was calling from my new number to give it to her. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend is being sacked. He's also about to rent a new apartment which he won't be able to afford when he loses his job. I can't warn him or I'll breach confidentiality and lose my job as well. FML
Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can't borrow a phone anywhere at an airport?

You guys are probably on some kind of social media. Shoot her a message on FB or Instagram (or whatever the two of you are into).

How is blocking a friend's phone number until they apply for a job a joke? That doesn't make sense to me. Just borrow a phone if you can, or if there's still pay phones there, use one of those.

Maybe an inside joke? I mean, me and my friends have the word "Wednesday" as an inside joke, so...

Hey, try getting a job for the airport! Then make some money for a new phone and call your best friend to pick you up after you quit! No, but seriously, there should be public phones at the airport you can use, at least at the ones I've been to.

People have become too reliant on phones and similar technology anyway. Just talk to her face to face. Walk however far it is from the airport to her place, have a REAL conversation in which you ask her to pick you up, and then walk back. Problem solved!

Because walking however far on foot for what probably takes over an hour by car is the best solution. Idiot.

#22, there's no reason to insult Trip for what was obviously a joke. If you can't take gentle teasing and stupid solutions, you're on the wrong comedy website. Visit actual advice columns for that.

WALK from the airport??? Do you usually walk 20 to 30 miles on a highway with luggages?

that's not very nice of her I suggest calling another friend to pick you up and then, jokingly, make her feel guilty for not being there when you needed her that or borrowing a phone from someone to call her
