Friends, Pranks and Telephones: Wicked game

Wicked game

By Anonymous - 25/11/2013 17:06 - United States - Buffalo

Today, I finally password-protected my phone, to protect it from my friends' favorite game: stealing it and sending stupid texts, and hijacking my Facebook. They quickly found a new game. My phone is now locked for 24 hours due to too many attempts to guess the password. FML

Today, I was playing with my phone and turned it on lock mode. I changed my lock code a few months ago, so that no one would be able to guess it. Turns out I can't guess it either. FML

Today, I woke up to a brand new password on my phone that only my wife knows. Apparently, she thinks I've been looking at my phone more than I've been talking to her lately. FML

Today, I was trying to change my PIN code in order to make my phone more secure and prevent people from getting information from it. Instead, I somehow ended up locking my phone permanently. FML

Today, I remember that I changed my phone lock password when I was still half asleep this morning, but I don't remember what I changed it to. FML

Today, my brother thought it would be funny to disable my iPod Touch for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, I went to enter my password. I missed a number accidentally. 50 minutes to go. 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 let a guy I like look at my phone. A second later I remembered I had a secret copy of his Facebook profile picture on there to show a friend what he looked like. I was forced to tackle him to get my phone back. FML

Today, I was trying to be a responsible adult and check my credit score. I accidentally mistyped my password five times, got locked out, and had to call customer service. They asked me so many security questions, I started questioning my own identity (and sanity). FML

Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML

Today, I left my phone at work. After returning to the office to retrieve it, I noticed it was not on my desk as it usually is. I went to the front office and found it on the desk, unattended. When turning on my phone, I was greeted by my new lockscreen: a crap someone took in the bathroom. FML

I know you're feeling. Here's a trick that worked for me: "Don't ever let them get you, never lose eye on your phone and be damn quick when they try to get it." You must not only feel the phone, but be the phone

Doesn't sound like OP understands that though since he *still* hasn't gotten new friends.

At this point you may want to carry a dummy phone to let your friends play with. If you aren't interested in changing friends that is.

Make sure they don't try again, or you might need to unlock it from iTunes.

Imo, this is not worthy of an FML. This happens all the time among my friends..sory op, it sure is annoying, but nothing special...

how old is your friend? doesn't it go in stages such as 30 second lock, 5 minutes , and so on? how did you not notice

I hope you mean ex-friends. How are you going to survive 24 whole hours without Facebook? I'm sure that if more than a few minutes pass without one of your undoubtedly brilliant status updates, everyone is going to think you are comatose or dead!

I wouldn't put it past some people, perdix. My mother flipped out yesterday after she tried to call me twice and left seven texts. I was presumed dead because I ignored her for a couple hours.

Maybe by using a computer or a different phone? (which OP likely has access to since this FML had to be posted from somewhere)

#37, it was a rhetorical question.

You can only make emergency calls when it's locked, assuming it's an iPhone. So he has to go 24 hours without calling, texting, Facebook, and also his apps. I can live without the internet and texting, but if I need to call someone other than 911, then I shouldn't have to find a pay phone. Regardless OP needs to get new friends, they should respect his privacy.
