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

All of the losers screaming "YDI", "your dumb", "hardy har harr" -- are the losers who maybe have never won shit in the lives of have tried and failed, colossally. Now as for my comment, I agree your life is [bad] but is not ******. To begin with, you were not paying for the tickets and they were never yours. Get over it, eventually ... hopefully... NOW! But I am sympathizing with you because you worked hard and got the strategy down packed as someone said. Now I would call back the dam station on the air and tell them I was the 40th caller and demand that I get those damn tickets. I would also track down the "41st" caller and perform a hit, and I mean shootin up windows breaking wind-shields! HIT! [Add On] If you were using a house phone, when you hit the END button you have like 2.5 seconds to hit the CALL button and the phone call should still be there.
