If you think we all are native english speakers and are familiar with all the terms, you are wrong!
Please explain for all the world what is FML, and then perhaps we all can start telling our stories!

FML:
How many pockets does the average person have? Well i know i always have loadz and the phone could be in a multitude of pockets but generally in my chest pocket next to my heart, anyway so i'm out in town with my tusty Nokia Ringo "yes i feel old" feeling the ol bladder kicking in decided i have to go to them horrible town toilets "we all know what they like" anyway sprinklin away finish and force of habbit flush the toilet only to hear a splash very similar to taking a dump, look down and oh my god the Ringo is drinking toilet water "well i'd have love to have left it" but just purchased so had to get it you can imagine whats going through my mind? @ least i flushed before lol so i get it out and put under the hair dryer think i must have spent a good hour, didn't turn the phone on for about 3 days, to my suprise when turned on it worked, only for me to be moving away about 6 weeks later for work to get to my destination and find i'm in a city with no working mobile and no explanantion as to why it didn't work? Untill phone the x and find out that orange juice was the culprit "never spent so much money on payphones" but alls good many years later i have a Tilt and am happy
Sorry for such a long story but you aked for it "just hope it fits the crita"

Lol!!
Something similar happened to me a while ago with my motorola star tac...
I was having it on my shirt pocket, went to the bathroom and suddenly my star tac was swimming on the WC together with all nasty fluids there!
I flushed first then took it off and of course it was dead...

Yep i remeber was my first real job working as a trainee mechanic and being fleased by a new phone, got it from a shop called Tandy to which i'm pretty sure no longer exists as outlets "shops" anymore?
They no longer work as was on the analog network and had *# commands to do anything
I'm not sure but also think they were the first ever pay and go phone?

Cheer me up?

http://bit.ly/9qn3wt

Well at least you live in the "north" (american dream) . Dude....not that I don't like my country...but believe me you are living in a paradise...here things are tough (poverty, crime, political situation, unemployment). Thank God I'm ok with my family.
Enjoy you family, try to make your time fun even if you don't like.
(That cheer you up a little??)...LoL...

What else do you need to get cheered up than a Clown and Mr. Burns posting messages to make you smile?

Dude Canada is awesome to where i live so you can be happy knowing i live in a grubby little town in the UK that stinks of fish

I live in California. Does that cheer you up or make you feel worse? Depending on how you take that it can do either.

If that is the case there should be no cheering up that is needed. Wow times have really changed. I had to think back to when I was 14 (If what you say is true) but.
1988
1. My Atari 2600 was being hammered on a daily basis (still own and works)
2. Cell phones just made calls. And usually could not even fit in the glove box of a car.
3. Michael Jackson was really black.
4. I had no bills.
5. Food was always in the fridge.
6. I did what I was told. 14 year old kids didn't have a voice back then.
7. I got my very own stereo cassette player.
8. I didn't have to work.
9. The world felt like a better place.
10. Gameboy was the hot news before its 1989 release.
Hows aboot you just enjoy your youth and the Canadian air.
have a good trip.
good day

Happy Geek pride day.

List of basic rights and responsibilities of geeks
Rights:
The right to be even geekier.
The right to not leave your house.
The right to not like football or any other sport.
The right to associate with other nerds.
The right to have few friends (or none at all).
The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.

The right to be overweight and near-sighted.
The right to show off your geekiness.

Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related T-shirt, all the better.
Don’t waste your time on anything not related to geekdom.
Try to take over the world!

An geek is walking down the street, and sees his friend, who is also a geek, walking along with a new bright red motorcycle. He's impressed, especially since his friend doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he goes up and asks, "Wow, where'd you get that?"
The friend explains, "Well, I was walking along, and this gorgeous blond drives up on the motorcycle, stops in front of me, strips her clothes off and tells me, 'Take what you want!'"
The geek nods in understanding. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."

Funniest Thread you ever read on Any Forum

Hi guys,
i was actually looking for iphone 4 battery capacity and options available but in search i found this and couldn't help myself cracking up.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2782785?start=0&tstart=0
and the best thing is no one knows the answer (No Offense).
Share your funniest thread here.
Lets have some laughing dose

This topped the list of funniest threads you've EVER read? The iOS update causing battery drain?...
Sent from my LG G2x

Well, i only read the first page so maybe i'm missing something, but that sounds just like a thousand other threads i've read discussing various Android devices suffering from battery drain.
Now me, i have my own thoughts on that which i won't go into, but what i take from this is that everybody can encounter issues with modern tech, no matter what the brand.
What amuses me is my landlord, who is a complete novice with all things tech, just got himself a nice new, shiny iphone 4. I don't think he'll ever get to know it well enough to get to the stage where he actually downloads an app from the market even, but he is enjoying playing with it. Whether it's because IOS isn't up to par, or whether it's his knowledge that isn't, he does seem to encounter a lot of what sound like bugs to me.
That's reason enough for me to stick with Android, but what do i know? I've never even held an iphone before last week! Each to their own.*

Jul 15, 2011 10:02 AM (in response to Lawrence Finch)
I agree, we can turn off everything, hey, we can shut off the iPhone completely and only turn it on in emergencies, that would save a lot of battery power.
Shutting off 3G may work for most of the World, but for us in North America, in many places 3G is the cell sevice we get. No GSM.
Shutting off all of Wifi, B-t, etc is akin to buying a Lamborghini and then granny-driving it to save fuel.

My sister is stuck in a wheelchair, so I have to cook, clean, and take my nephew to and from school everyday. My nephew who is seven years old is autistic, so he's going for only part of a school day. I have to go get him at odd hours, and since I'm doing housework/cooking later in the day, I can't get a full time job. I have to deal with his moods and outbursts everyday. Taking care of him, his 11 year old sister (she's moody thanks to hormones) and his mother means I have no time for even part time work, so I'm constantly broke as a result. Since she is family and needs my help I can't move out and not have a guilty conscience. My sister's fiancee is a vile and mentally abusive person, and I get stuck dealing with him all the time. He doesn't even help with housework or the kids. We're struggling financially so our home internet and cable was unpaid and cut off, and we're still getting charged for it until the owing amount is paid. The only reason I own a nice phone is cause I saved money for months and signed a contract. My computer was built from free, salvaged parts, otherwise I wouldn't have one of those either. I have serious insomnia and never get proper rest. I also have back pain, anxiety and a whole mess of health problems despite only being 20 years old. I was forced to move into a different city cause of my sister, and now I can no longer see any of my friends. My situation at home prevents me from being able to have a girlfriend as well.
All of this is true, no exaggerations. FML

^^ That sounds about as hard as it gets. You have to believe that it can only get better from there!
