Exhaustion

Today, during a phone call, I broke down in tears because I was asked to spell my last name. It’s sixteen letters long and hyphenated, and I always end up having to spell it twice because they never get it right the first time. I’m tired. FML

It's alright. My parents never told me how to spell mine. I just made it up and decided how I wanted it pronounced too. It's not a common name though. I've never heard of something similar to it.

Former president Harry S Truman's middle name was S. He wouldve been hard pressed to misspell that

My boyfriend has the same situation and name, except his name is spelled legally with two Ls instead of one. He just keeps on spelling it with one.

The EXACT same thing happened to me! My parents gave me a stupid, obscure Irish middle name with four syllables and it wasn't untill I saw my birth certificate eariler this year that I realized I've been putting it down wrong on paperwork MY ENTIRE LIFE. Social Security, insurance, driver's lisence, everything. **** our lives.

Today, I was sick during the night and had to puke. I had no bucket or trashcan nearby, so I ended up puking on the floor. However, because it was so dark, I didn't notice my cat lying in the exact spot where I puked. She was not amused, giving me the mother of all death glares before she started puking herself. FML

Today, my wife told me that when she was actually pregnant with her ex's child; she was insatiably horny and always wanted sex. Too bad for me, because the current pregnancy has made her repulsed by any sexual contact. Thanks for telling me, I guess. FML

Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML
