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.

should've pretended to need the bathroom and run for it. how did this end? and how often do you lie to your father to merit a yelling match?

You both lose. Apple website> contact us, and behold, all Apple contact numbers. in the event you're confused by this, itunes is a product of Apple. To further simplify this, it's the first thing to pop up on Google search. How do you not find it??

Well, I'm up there looking as well and I see no phone number other than 1-800-MY-APPLE. I don't see another one specifically for iTunes.

You won't find one specifically for itunes. But call any support numbers in the contact us option and they'll provide software support. There are multiple numbers so I'm assuming you weren't able to find it either. Is simple internet navigation really this difficult?

You need to learn to read. This FML was about finding a direct iTunes support phone number. There is no such number. iTunes does not do direct phone support.

That's no way to solve a situation.

You're obviously white if you think that would work.

Hey hey, lay off benmec! He's clearly a manlier man than anyone else here, what with his alligator wrestling and rattlesnake wrangling, all before having raw bull testicles and porcupine quills for breakfast. I salute you, benmec.

Maybe you can ask Siri -- oh, wait, her time is being monopolized by that loser who doesn't talk to human people.
