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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML
Today, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
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
Today, I have a horribly painful throat infection and can't talk. In spite of this, Dad keeps insisting I call people for him, meaning I have to make use of a text to speech program. Eight out of twelve people I've called on his behalf have hung up, thinking I'm a scambot. Dad is blaming me for it. FML
Today, my dad asked me to help him buy a laptop by searching online. He explicitly said, "When you have time." I decided to shower as I had just woken up. While showering, I was startled by loud banging and my dad angrily asking why I wasn't looking for his laptop. FML
Today, my dad lied and said he was busy working, all because he didn't want to see me. FML
Today, my mobile phone wouldn't turn on. I took it in to the phone store, but they won't fix or replace it because the account is in my dad's name, not mine. He's abroad for the next month, and the only way to get a hold of him is on a number I only stored on my phone. FML
Today, after my dad got frustrated at me last month for not having a job and completely taking over my job searching, claiming it’s not that hard and he’d show me how it’s done. Since then, not one company has called or emailed him back and he doesn’t know why. Welcome to job searching in 2024, Dad. FML

Some people can't handle being wrong. It's sad he's taking it out on his own child.

Oh! Does anyone care?

Could have been first. But couldn't think of anything. As far as the fml, sorry OP that's gotta suck. Suggest that you help him find it, you may be able to go sooner.

It's sad neither of them can't use Google correctly. You can find the nearest Apple store on Google. Give them a call and bingo, Apple support. I'm sure they can help with iTunes seeing as it's their business..

Parents can be so stubborn.

Parents just don't get it :(

Correct. Parents have never been through what you've been through. Whatever issues you're having, we've never heard of such a thing. You're the first person in the history of mankind to deal with it.

Well, in the case of technology, a lot of what you just said about parents is true far too often

33- When referring to technology, yes, everything you said could be correct. Considering many DIDN'T experience it.

Seriously? The post was about an iTunes support number. There is no iTunes support number. 800-273-2275 is AppleCare, not iTunes. Also, they are open 7-10 central, not 9-5.

Some parents just always need to be right. Although to be fair, iTunes has always had ****** up policies. I remember you couldn't have an account without a credit card, and you couldn't use your iTunes card without an account. Which kind of sucks when you're 14.

Hey, OP ask him if you can help search for it, you may be able to go sooner. If not, that really sucks and go with the bathroom thing..
