Today, at 7am, I was woken up by a telemarketer. He tried to sell me a bedroom set containing "a comfortable pillow and goose feather cover". I was working the graveyard shift and had only just gotten to sleep an hour earlier. FML

Can't they make a living during office hours? That would've given me 2 hours of sleep at least...

#18: I'm just bored. Happy now? Should I write another FML? "Today I commented on one of the comments of my FML. FML"

What? Commenting on a comment is against the rules?

If you know you'll have to go to bed late, just turn the volume of your telephone ringtone down. Simple, isn't it?

I am a light sleeper and will wake up to it on vibrate/or the lowest possible ringtone sound. So for some we don't have a choice and turning it off wouldn't be an option.

Ah shit. I guess they must not have one of those "Do Not Call" lists over in the Netherlands.

Start crying on the phone telling them your whole life story and I bet they will never call again. Or simpler way cuss them out n hang up. O_o

I've had some of the most interesting conversations of my life with telemarketers, their cool people.

I'm all for interesting conversations. But not at 7am in the morning, and certainly not after a graveyard shift ;)

Hey, I'm with you OP. I spent my whole summer working 12 hour shifts from 6pm to 6am. Honesty, a phone call isn't that bad. At least when you hang up it's over. What's worse is when your neighbor or someone has a construction project going on next door.

29, I'm with you. As someone suffering from insomnia, it's a bitch finally being able to fall asleep and get some sweet, sweet, much needed shut eye at 7am, and being woken up by a brain grinding "HhhhrRRRrroooowWwwwwww" minutes later. Of course the worst part is that it's not over for many many hours.

It still sucks. I agree with the OP, telemarketers do not score high with society for a reason, hmmm, I wonder why?

I don't think it's cocky, I think it's cool that OP does that. gives a sense of reality to the FML to know.

You probably woke up because you were getting such a shitty sleep with your polyester pillow and ratty-ass blanket. Buy the high-quality bedding your new friend was selling, and you'll sleep through all further telemarketing calls.

Being in the military made me realize how much I took sleep for granted. Never making that mistake ever again when I get out.

Shoot, quoting Illmatic brings a great point.
