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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML
Today, I received my camera in the mail. I had sent it back to the company because it wouldn't turn on. As I was reading the note they put in, it said, "Battery was put in backwards. No other problems found." FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. 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, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed and the lady who was working on it somehow resent all the old text messages in my outbox. One was to my ex saying, "I love you." FML
Today, I realized that with all the money I've spent on repairs for my iPhone through the months, I could have bought a phone that doesn't die horribly whenever I so much as give it a mean look. FML
Today, I took my new iPhone into a technician to complain that when people called me, the audio was very quiet and muffled. Convinced it was a fault, I demanded a replacement. That is when he peeled off the factory issued protective screen that covered the ear piece. FML
Today, I got my phone back after bringing it in to get a crack in the screen repaired. The crack is fixed, but now the touch screen doesn't work and it won't connect to the Internet. I essentially paid to have my phone broken even more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's been countless of times that I've seen this, and people still don't learn? Where is society headed to, I ask?

All I hear in my head is Roy from The I.t. Crowd asking you if you've tried turning it off and on again :P

In my experiences as an aviation electrician, I have found that most electronics actuate when the power switch is in the closed position...in other words...turn it on.

In OP's defense... My first iPhone turned itself off one night. This is while im still learning it's capabilities etc. I tried to turn it in for over an hour... Finally, I went to a friends house, used their phone to call another friend, and was told to use the home and power buttons to reset. Ding ding.... Maybe that's similar? If not... Well please don't reproduce
