Today, while waiting for my train, I was listening to a voicemail message on my phone. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me from behind and screamed "DELETE!" into my ear. His voice command deleted my message. FML

Today, I was trying to listen to a phone message I'd received. I was excited because I'd been waiting for the coaches to call me back for tryouts for a week now. Trying to figure out how to listen to it, I ended up deleting it. FML

Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML

Today, on the train, I got excited when I suddenly noticed I had a missed call and voicemail from a boy I liked. With a grin on my face, I told my friend. My dad overheard and said, "Oh sweetie, he probably had the wrong number." The voicemail was blank. I texted him. The call was indeed an accident. FML

Today, I forgot what I was doing while listening to a voicemail and started talking back to it. FML

Phones, how do they work?!

Today, a voicemail suddenly appeared in my messages. Last week I missed a call from an Unknown caller, and no number was listed. Turns out they wanted to arrange an interview for a job I really wanted. They left a number in the voicemail, telling me to call them back that day if I was interested. FML

Today, I ran up to my boyfriend and gave him a kiss. I didn't understand why the girl next to him got upset, but it turns out the voicemail I deleted by accident was him breaking up with me. FML

Today, my boyfriend sent me a text saying to call him. When I did, it went straight to voicemail. It was a recording of him breaking up with me. He broke up with me over the phone, without even talking to me. FML

Today, I was having trouble sleeping, and I was almost asleep when I got a call from one of those spam places. They left a voicemail, which I made the mistake of listening to. The voice was so slowed down, it was very creepy, especially late at night. I don't think I'll be sleeping at all tonight. FML

Today, my dad got a new phone and put me on speed dial. I have received several voice mails from him accidentally dialed. They are from him riding the train, in a meeting, having lunch, and, most recently, him taking a monstrous dump. 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

No, I'm sure some voicemail systems where you call into it can have those voice activated menus and such. This FML is a reason I prefer visual voicemail.

No you go to your "deleted messages" page and undelete the messages you would like to undelete.

Then what's the point of deleting it if it's still there, but in another list? Goddamn technology...

It's basically no different then the way anything else sends stuff to the recycle/trash bin and then makes you go delete it from there. It's kind of a life lesson really about how just because stuff was thrown into the garbage doesn't mean it's gone away. You still have to take the bins out for the trash collectors and let them take it somewhere to be hidden from yours eyes.

I feel It's Western Europeans in general, but then again. Even though most of them are very kind, you'll always find a few b!tches.

#14 You are shocked by a prank ? Whoa, I recommend you never go out of your house, because you wouldn't last 2 days in the modern world ... And nice stereotype by the way. I am shocked some people think like that.

I think that warrants a punch in the face for that guy. He totally deserves it and everyone knows it. May a black eye or a fat lip on his face remind him not to mess with other people like that.

This is really pathetic. A message accidently got deleted- **** your life? Get over it, and maybe call them back like any normal person? Instead of wasting time writing an FML.
