Today, my cousin and I found out that when a girl puts a flower in the right side of her hair, it means she's available. The bigger the flower, the more available she is. My eleven year old boy cousin told me to "cut down a palm tree and put it in my hair". FML
I agree, your life sucks (38863) - you totally deserved it (2965)

This is something I be live girls do in Hawaii. It's been around for a very long time.
It's kinda like a wedding ring, or Hindu women wearing a Tilak. I think anyway.

Also, if your eleven year old cousin knows you're "incredibly available" or says those sorts of things, there might be a problem.
#6 - On 06/07/2009 at 3:42am by redbluegreen
ah makes sense.
too bad they don't do that where I'm from
it'd be a little easier
oh yeah, and FYL. I feel for ya XP
HA! That is awesome. How can someone be more or less available, though? Either you are, or you aren't. End of story. Right?
HAWAII!!!!
Yeah we do this in Hawaii....
No one takes it seriously though to be honest.
Even when I have a boyfriend, I still wear my flower on the right side.
And the size has nothing to do with it, by the way :)

ahahaha aww thats so cute!
but i am sorry that sux...
you'll find someone :]

Wow, this has to become a nation wide thing. Can you imagine how much money you could save not buying drinks for unavailable girls?
This made me laugh out loud real hard hahahahahahah :P
Your cousin is very cute.
And yes! I wish this was a nationwide thing. It would be cool hahah :P

#1 New?? It was old 30 years ago, dude. *lol*
It's reaaally old. I'm even surprised it's still done. :)
Your cousin is awesome and YDI for not having a sense of humour :D
#29 - On 06/07/2009 at 4:38am by snapisevil
LOL aww I'm sorry, that's so mean...but you've gotta laugh that shit off. FYL ;)

No, I'm sick of this. I hate how everything has to fucking mean something now. Staight guys can't get their right ears pierced because it somehow means they're gay. 12 year old girls can't wear those stupid rubber bracelets anymore because now they mean sex stuff and the girl will be acused of being a little slut. And now, a girl can't walk down the street with a flower in her hair without getting hit on. WHAT IF IT JUST LOOKED NICE, PEOPLE?!?! OP, you deserved this because you're acting as part of what's destroying self expression.
#35 - On 06/07/2009 at 5:23am by Awesomesaurus
why do we need to know if someone is available in advance. you could, you know, ask the person. is it really that hard?
How can you be more available? You can be more desperate but you certainly can not be more available than available.

Only immature people think that. And obv. you seem to care what they think.
Who the hell cares if a 12 year old is wearing coloured plastic braclets.
I haven't heard of that stuff since I was like, 10.
6 years ago.
So you can stop over thinking this shit and move on and do your own thing.
=]
Get that there palmer-tree jiggy-ma-jig and shove it right up his ass, and shout "This'll learn ya!"
Ha Omg thats a good dis by an eleven year old!! oh wait im 11 whoopsys but still hehe but hey maybe someday youll be able to take that palm tree out of your hair
#45 - On 06/07/2009 at 7:39am by godtakemenow1448
HAHAHAHAHA XD omg that's so funny! Feel sorry for you though.
#46 - On 06/07/2009 at 7:50am by mylifesucksoften
That's certainly not a generally excepted thing. I doubt it goes farther than your local elementary school.
#51 - On 06/07/2009 at 8:57am by silvermoonstar3
That's not really an insult, it just means your avaible. Relax.
#56 - On 06/07/2009 at 9:40am by happygoluckyhh
I wouldn't judge the availability of girls using this method. I, along with my married friends, wear flowers on the right side of our head all the time. It's cute, not a signal.
#57 - On 06/07/2009 at 9:41am by 110879
@OP's cousin: Palm trees aren't flowers.
@OP: Stop giving a damn!
#59 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:06am by tempaccount
Haha, that's funny! I'm glad it's not like that where I live, because I wore a flower in my hair yesterday for the whole day. (My friend put it in, but still) It's cute(:
LOL at people thinking an eleven year old is a cute little kid..
eleven year olds= 7th graders= stupid bitchy little tweens.
#61 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:12am by jj732
#35, most people don't actually pay any attention to that sort of thing. Chill out.
OP: Your cousin is hilarious.
#6, he didn't really need to know if she was available or not. It was just the perfect oppertunity for a snappy comeback, and he took it XD
#67 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:29am by nicelyjohnson
aww i love your cousin. and i put flowers in my hair but am never really concious of what size or what side but i see it must be a hawaii thing.
#75 - On 06/07/2009 at 11:13am by dancin303
#61 and 76 so why cant eleven year old kids be cute?
#77 - On 06/07/2009 at 11:38am by UncleverName_FYL
I love putting flowers in my hair! :D
Uh oh, my boyfriend's not going to be too happy. D:
#80 - On 06/07/2009 at 12:38pm by proudtobeme
Lmfao
my sister would say something like that, don't even worry about it :x
#81 - On 06/07/2009 at 12:38pm by boricua_4life407
Actually kids turn 11 in 5th grade. I have an 11 yr old sister.
#82 - On 06/07/2009 at 12:43pm by fireandice92
kids that age just insult everyone regardless because they think it's cool. don't take it personally!
#84 - On 06/07/2009 at 12:52pm by wallythedolly
...so what happens when you wear the flower to the left? A division by zero?
#87 - On 06/07/2009 at 1:18pm by dannydawriter
How does putting a larger flower in your hair mean you're MORE available, unless it's implying that you're desperate, but who would seriously want to announce to the world that they're desperate? Well, I guess this sad self-expression is similar to the emo kids here in the continental U.S..
#95 - On 06/07/2009 at 1:59pm by Phillay632
#10, so basically you're saying you wear flowers in your hair.
uhmmm okay. lame fml.
#96 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:02pm by danielleFML
That's sad when even a little kid can notice how desperate you are
#97 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:10pm by maverick11e
This is crap.
I submitted an FML just like this before and it didn't get accepted. >__>;
To anyone wondering, it's a Hawaiian thing.
#98 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:13pm by Paigeth
You "found out" wrong, that's nonsense. And your cousin is rude - like all 11-year-old boys.
#100 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:25pm by FreedomFirst
i've never heard of this, or anything 35 said. wow, i'm gonna make up my own code now
flower on left side: i'm sleep deprived and bitchy
sunglasses on head: i just had way too much caffine
sash tied around waist: i'm feeling horny
you can guess the trouble i'd be in if i did all three at once
#101 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:27pm by Newtons_Cradle
Also, if anyone (female or male) has a pierced tongue, they will suck your dick. Just ask.
#102 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:29pm by Phillay632
How can someone be more available then they already may be??!
#104 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:33pm by Jord111222333
AHAHAH .. this made me smile :)
but hey .. if it makes you feel any better, my cousins are pretty nasty to me too ! but .. FYL :D
#106 - On 06/07/2009 at 3:06pm by ayebabyyyy
I hate to sound juvenile, but
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Just picturing the way your cousin would say that killed me!
#109 - On 06/07/2009 at 4:20pm by southpaw117
ROFL
dont worry about it. i think all girls who do this really look cute. :)
i have a japanese girl in my grade who does this, and it always looks nice on her
Wow haha, I never knew that. I were flowers in my hair sometimes in the summer, and I have a boyfriend. Better stop wearing them :P
#113 - On 06/07/2009 at 6:24pm by CourtneyDanielle
#35: Yeah, like, just making up a random one. You wear your watch on your right wrist, you are a pedophile. It's stupid.
#119 - On 06/07/2009 at 7:17pm by SuperSpore
That is adorable AND hilarious.
take it in good grace, it's cute :)
#123 - On 06/07/2009 at 7:44pm by Ibeapirate
hehehe.
clever kid.
ps, if you just found out about that flower thing, then theres a good chance that most guys dont know it.
LOL! I can imagine a random girl walking down the hall with a tree in her head
#126 - On 06/07/2009 at 8:42pm by supergeniuse
lmao I was walking around with my boyfriend and a flower on the right side of my hair all day.
I did not get that memo.
#128 - On 06/07/2009 at 9:01pm by tinaforthewin
There are stages of availability?
You're either available or you are not. Maybe we just figured out why there's so many sluts, whores and tramps out there.
#129 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:10pm by Nemephosis
........I have never heard of that.......Huh, I've got a few friends who might like that XD Too bad no one knows around here XD
#131 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:22pm by Somebody52
Can someone please explain to me what the hell it means to be "more available"? Like, you're either available or you're not. There's really no middle ground, unless you're one of those types that dates 5 guys at a time to see "which one's the right one".
#132 - On 06/07/2009 at 11:13pm by Lou_Briccant
you should have told your dumbass cousin that a palm tree isn't a flower. and for all the ppl wondering what more available means, it's a nice way of saying "more desparate."
hey im samoan,
we do that too
yeah when a lady puts the flower on the right shes single
if left shes taken
O come ON! us kids juss fool around -.- take a joke eh? Im 99.999% sure he was justfooling around. Unless he really hates u and was serious... but i am basically 100% sure he was joking. :] so not really fyl...
YDI for obviously advertising the fact that you're available, if your little cousin knows.
FYL because ahhahah that sucks! & is hilarious.
#146 - On 06/08/2009 at 4:55pm by ohsnapelenaaa
HAHHAHAHAHAHA dude your cousin is obviously hilarious.
#148 - On 06/08/2009 at 6:35pm by notyerpirate
This is fucking hilarious! I swear, your cousin is going to be the next big comedian.
#158 - On 06/13/2009 at 1:19am by jewelzgalore
Hawaiiii!!!
Yes, this is a hawaii thing, sorry if you folks don't get it.
#159 - On 06/14/2009 at 2:03am by island_gurl808
yay! 808 people =)) cool .. ha i dont even wear flowers n my hair or ear anymore.. last time i picked a plumeria i got ant bites on my ears. lol
Too late, she already has an palm tree in her hair. It's called my penis. lol.
