Today, my cell phone service was interrupted because I owed the company 27 cents. It cost 36 dollars to reinstate my service. FML

Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time to look for it before work. This evening, my cell phone company calls me to tell me I have six hundred dollars worth of calls to El Salvador that I have to pay for. My cell phone was not misplaced, it was stolen. FML

Today, I overdrew my account and ended up paying an extra 35 bucks for a 1.99 item. It was an application on the iPhone that is supposed to help me keep track of my money. FML

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, while I was out of the office, I'd left my phone charging inside. My boss informed me that since I am clearly running up her electricity bill, it will be deducted out of my already nearly non existent paycheck. 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

dude, that blows. I can't believe companies are actually coming to this. What happened to a little common ******* courtesy?

Cell phone companies are so bitchy about that kind of thing. They're so strict you would think they're in some kind of financial trouble, but they're nowhere near that state.

All the people saying "pay your bills"... did you ever stop to think that maybe she DOES pay them and she just wrote the wrong amount/typoed/read it wrong? It happens. Seriously, that's ridiculous that they did that for just $0.27. I would be calling and complaining ASAP because thats shitastic service right there. Maybe you can get the fee waived?

guess whatever cell company you have is hurting so bad they need that change! or an excuse to charge you 37 dollars.

She/he paid the damn bill.It was more and likely and typo on the check she wrote or some sort of administrative error like that. You people can be such morons. Also,hell yes a company would shut someone off over a matter of pennies. It sucks and shouldn't be like that but large corps don't care.
