Today, I called my favorite radio station over and over, trying to be the 40th caller to win sold-out concert tickets, each time holding my thumb over the button to quickly hang up and re-dial if busy. I finally got through and they congratulated me being the winning caller! By habit, I hung up. FML

Wow, a couple hate messages in here. Yes it happened, it was for Depeche Mode Release tickets for house of blues on 4/21 and I never said there was no screener. It was the screener that said "congratulations, you're the winning caller" So no busy signal, not even a single ring, just an answer. I was spoken to, but before he could say anything else, I was so excited, my reflexes just hit the end button where my thumb was and it was over. Yes, stupid me, nerves, excitement, motor reflexes whatever. Lost the tickets and someone else got them. End of story. I bought two tickets for August now. $110 each

#2 and 3... why post if you have nothing to say but I'm first. Is it because you're both retards. Also you guys are not first. Anyways about the FML...that would really suck, better luck next time.

YDI for not having control over your habitual tendencies. At #3, every time I've seen you post that you're first you've failed to be first. Good job failing at life.

I love (and by love I obviously mean hate) how people find the stupidest reasons to find a YDI. It's like they're just looking for any tiny excuse. Habitual tendencies? Really? Wow.

correct me if i'm wrong but usually if someone is the winning caller, they usually stay on the line.

Hey #2, let me get this right. You'd call a contest like that once and if you got a busy signal, you'd simply hang up and not try to get through again huh? You'd just say "oh, I guess I'll try again another contest"? hahaha Um... sure! hahahahahahaha
