Miscellaneous: Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go...

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML

Today, while teaching my class, I hooked my laptop up to the projector and put on a documentary. I left it playing and went to the toilet. When I came back, the whole class was talking to my mother. She must've Skyped me while I was gone and someone answered the call. FML

Today, my phone rang just seconds after I left a conference meeting to go use the restroom. It wouldn't have been a problem, except it seems one of my friends thought it would be funny to change my ringtone to a woman having an orgasm. FML

Are you OK?

Today, my phone rang during a meeting. I quickly silenced it, and put it in my pocket. A few minutes later, my boss’s phone rang. It was me, butt-dialing him while we were sitting in the same room. He answered and asked if I had something urgent to discuss. I did not. FML

Today, I needed to call my mom to get some info so I dialled the number on my work phone. Not 2 seconds after, my cellphone rang. I got super pissed off because I hate when people call me on my cell at work. It was me. I'd dialled my own number. FML

Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML

Today, I accidentally unmuted my mic during a class, and normally it would've just been silence, but dumb old me just had to sing a song at the top of my lungs, and I only stopped when my phone blew up with notifications. Great. FML

I have a feeling the OP is going to be one of those people who, in 25 years give or take a few, will be sitting on his/her front porch screaming at young hoodlums with their baggy pants and their confangled music generators and ranting about how in his/her day, you could buy 2 cheesesteaks and 2 drinks for a dollar and still have change.

"Today, I was in class and my teacher was giving a lecture. Somebody's phone went off twice. My teacher spent 30 minutes ranting and raving about how we were "technology ******." It turns out it was my teacher's phone. My teacher promptly headed to fmylife.com to whine to the Internet about being a dick to her students. FML." YDI.

If the students didn't notice it was yours, it's ok. If they did... I doubt they're going to give you any respect anytime soon.

When this happens in class, it's usually the teacher's phone. The students all have enough sense by now to put their phone's on vibrate in class. You totally deserved that...way to lose all the respect of your students. I hope you at least apologized. x(
