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, I called my cell phone tech support to help with my Samsung device. They sent me contact info for Apple support. 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?

You're the kind of customer I dread getting at work.

YDI for yelling at people. FYL for no one realizing the problem along the way. Seems like something they would check.

They probably would have checked if the OP hadn't been busy screaming at them.

I heard microwaving your phone for 30 seconds resets network settings, next time you should try that.

Is it really necessary to give other people hell just because you are not getting what you want? Was it really that important for you to get all bent out of shape over? I have had phones actually malfunction and I calmly asked for a replacement and got one instantly. I didn't have to act like an ass to get what I wanted.

even if your phone was broken there's no need to yell at anyone. I deal with people like you everyday who think yelling at others is perfectly acceptable. you're exactly why people dread taking customer service jobs. ydi

The fancy notification bar at the top of your phone can indicate many things.. Including Airplane Mode.

Okay, now to turn off airplane mode, throw your phone at the sprint guy. Upon landing, you should be able to talk, text, and browse on your new crack screen phone.
