Today, I received an almost $400 bill for Internet services I don't even have. When I called and talk to them they told me I still owe them $77 because I didn't catch it within 3 months. FML

Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML

Today, I received my new cell phone and activated my account. As part of the package, I get to choose five numbers that I can call without using any minutes. I could still only think of three numbers I call regularly: my parent's house, my mom's cell and my ex's cell. FML

Today, I woke up to 7 texts about the data overage charges that were accrued last night while I slept. Apparently my phone used nearly 8 GB of data, with no apps open, while I was sound asleep, leaving me with a $63 fee. FML

Today, I realized while paying bills on my phone I fat-fingered which credit card I was paying and sent 299 to a paid-off card instead of 200 to another one. Now I'm going to have overdraft fees too. FML

Expensive hobby

Today, I found out that my cell phone bill was much higher than normal. After investigating, I realized that a text conversation I had with my stalker, telling him multiple times not to contact me anymore, was to an international cell phone. I have to pay to be stalked. FML

Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Today, I figured out why I've used triple the amount of cellphone minutes than I usually do over the past month since moving out. Is it because I suddenly have a social life now that I'm living on my own? No. All those calls were made to my mom because I'm lonely. FML

Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML

I use hardly any minutes, but hundreds of text messages. I don't like talking on the phone much.

What? People say it's bad when you talk too much on your phone, but it's a problem when you don't talk enough?

Unless you were planning to spend time on your phone 24/7, there is really no point of spending so much money. Well, at least spending 9 minutes on the phone with radiation is safer for you.

I recommend downgrading your plan. The size of your cell phone plan is not a social status symbol, and there's no point in paying for what you don't use.

So? Just get a plan that doesn't have as many minutes. If Verizon allowed it, I would only pay for 100 mins a month instead of the 450 that is on my plan. But that is the least amount of mins they allow with unlimited texting...which I need or my bills would be through the roof. They do have a plan that is just unlimited texting and no mins...but with my luck, as soon as I got on that plan, I'd be getting calls all the time.

Same here. I have 5 people on my plan though and we still don't use all the minutes. (I'm a high school student, there is a college student and her husband who is in the military on my plan so we should use more but we dont. To others - It doesn't mean the op doesn't have a life or friends maybe he just talks to peple in person or on the internet more.

Get a rollover plan. And you know when you make mobile to mobile calls, it doesn't count against your minutes. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Get friends. YDI

Today, it is mine and my twin sister's birthday. We both wanted a day at the spa for our birthday. My sister got a gift certificate to the spa, while I got mouthwash and a $20 gift card to Target. My mom said it would cost too much to make me also pretty. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to completely shave off all of my already-groomed pubic area because, "It looks so unnatural." Ignoring the obvious lack of logic, I asked him why he keeps his totally ungroomed. Turns out "Men having hair is okay. Women aren't supposed to, though." FML

Today, I splurged thousands of dollars on the breed of dog that I've loved since I was a kid from a reputable breeder. He is allergic to all food except the 24lb food for $70 and has sensitivities galore, including a seizure from a shot. I've spent $5,000 in vet bills in the first week. FML
