school. After scolding him for not looking where he was going, I grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to me … and I walked him right into a light pole. FML
Today I met a guy who said he thinks he’s in love with my sister. As a joke, I told him that my sister cheats on everyone. I got home to find my sister crying, because someone had told her boyfriend that she’s cheating on him. FML
Today I went to my friend’s house to smoke weed while his parents were out. Forty-five minutes into smoking, his parents called to say they’d be home in five minutes. We decided to spray the house with Febreze to mask the smell. We were high and in a rush. It was bug spray. FML
Today, on a crowded train, a cute guy called me over and told me to stand next to him because there were fewer people there. We started talking, but he left before I could get his number. I was about to call my friends to tell them about him, when I realized that he had stolen my phone. FML
Today I was helping to supervise a five-year-old’s birthday party in an inflatable obstacle course. I was playing hide-and-seek with the kids. I saw the birthday boy and crept around the corner, yelling, “Found you!” I scared him so much that he peed his pants in front of everyone. FML
Today I closed out of a video chat with my boyfriend to go take a shit. I took my computer with me to check my email. It took five minutes for me to realize I was still on video chat. FML
Today at work I spent three minutes struggling to uncork a wine bottle for one of my tables, only to have the diners point out to me that the bottle was a twist-off. FML
Today I saw my male boss holding a purse. Just to be a smartass, I made fun of him as if the purse was his. It was. FML

Today I was a host during a kids’ event. I started to do some funny moves to entertain the kids. I was wearing a low-cut top. Then I noticed that all the children were pointing at me happily and the adults looked shocked. Both my boobs had popped out. FML
Today I was pulled over by a bike cop for speeding in a twenty-five-mile-per-hour zone. As the cop walked toward my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. He wrote me two tickets instead of one. FML

Today I drank a ton of beers for my twenty-fifth birthday. My friends love to watch me open beer bottles with my teeth. I chipped both of my front uppers doing this. Twenty-five is the age at which I’m no longer covered by my parents’ dental insurance. FML
Today I lost $200 playing poker while wearing my new shades. It turned out that you can see the cards in the reflection on the lenses. FML
