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, after going to T-Mobile thinking my phone won't receive texts, I found out that my phone is perfectly fine, my friends just don't text me back. FML

Today, my cell phone broke. It wouldn't even turn on. I went online to access my account so that I could order a new phone. I couldn't remember my password. The phone company had an option of "forgot my password". Upon clicking I get a message saying "Your password will be sent to your phone". FML

Today, I switched cell phone service providers, hoping to upgrade. After working out the details and picking a phone in the store, I got home to find my brand new cell can't get a signal in my house. I already signed the two year contract. FML

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

Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." 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, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML

Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML

I'm not surprised. You seem a bit flighty.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Even if it had arrived broken you do realize it wouldn't be the fault of the employees you were berating, right? Some people make the world a better place, and then there are people like you.

Ahhh 13, I almost liked your comment... but instead, the snarky half of my brain could only think: "OP's WHAT is an ass?" Anyway, I agree with the sentiment. Complaining to customer service about something so simple is too moronic for me to sympathize with.

YDI, but the customer service people you harassed didn't.

As an iOS Senior Advisor for Apple, I can attest to this. I'm very open-minded when it comes to addressing technical issues and I genuinely love my work. Nothing is more offensive than wanting to assist someone with a technical issue and being harassed when we're trying to be the good guys.

Please don't berate employees who are doing their best to help you. You have no idea what that does to them

This would be a moment at which I would create one of those "Straight Outta Compton" memes and have it say "Straight Outta Brain Cells," because OP's neurons were clearly not firing at all.
