Today, on my first day at a new job, my boss asked how old I was. I replied, "Eighteen." She responded that she was my age thirty years ago, which makes her the same age as my mum. When I told her, she gave me a puzzled look, so I repeated myself. She was my age thirteen years ago, not thirty. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

She thought the boss was 30 years older (48) instead of 13 years older (31).

Haha, that sucks to be you.

And to everyone who commented on his or her grammar, really? Are you that stupid that you can't understand it? I mean it's not fantastic but it is definitely understandable.

I don't understand what he is saying.

She asked his age. He said 18.

She said that she was his age 30 years ago.

30+18= 48.

She's 31.

I'm missing something.

the average intelligence here is at a minimum. There's only 4 basic grammar errors. Most of you made at least two in your clever rebuttles.

And by the way, this isn't an FML; it's simply a misunderstanding

#13, not "there's." There are*
I like it when people criticize people who criticize people for bad grammar for THEIR bad grammar while using bad grammar. Festival of lolz.
