Today, the satellite radio at work went on the fritz, playing one song over and over. Management wouldn't turn it off, though, because then customers would miss out on all those upcoming-sale announcements that run intermittently. Meanwhile, I got to listen to "Footloose" for eight hours. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my job at the mall, our music malfunctioned and now will only play the same three songs over and over again. Our manager won't let us turn it off because "the customers won't notice". FML
Today, at work, I was forced to listen to the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas album on repeat for 8 hours. FML
Today, I lost my earbuds on the subway to work, so I had to listen to my boss's terrible music all day. FML
Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML
Today, I was in the car going to a concert with my family. I was listening to my iPod, when the wheel broke and I couldn't change the song. So for the rest of the trip, I was stuck either listening to my parents arguing, or Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin on repeat. FML
Today, at my workplace, a TV was installed just above my register at work which plays the same mind-numbingly awful 13 second ad on loop for the duration of our latest sale. The sale lasts for what are going to be three very long weeks. FML
Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML
Today, while I was at work, a co-worker watched while some kid stole the radio out of my car. FML
Today, I arrived at my college dorm. To help me sleep, I listened to my local radio from my phone. Little did I know, they turn off the wifi for part of the night, and hours of music were streamed onto my phone. Guess who now owes the phone company all my money. FML
Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If I was a customer I wouldn't have stayed in your store long enough to hear the sales announcement... After about the third time it played I would have finished my shopping another day.

Hey, it could have been worse, OP! You could have been stuck listening to Micheal Bolton or Kenny G for 8 hours!

I love how everyone is saying "could have been worse." OP had it bad. I'm pretty sure it would be torture if you had to listen to your favorite song for EIGHT hours.

That definitely sucks that it apparently happened right when you got to work, since you said that you had to listen to the song for eight hours straight. How unfortunate. I do think we have the same satelite radio station playing daily at our job, too, because I hear that song on it once a day.

#9-- Your pic looks really familiar. Does Lima 3/2, 22MEU mean anything to you?
