Today, I was repainting the walls in my room. While painting, I noticed a dark spot on the wall that wouldn't seem to go away no matter how much paint I put on it. A bucket of paint and hours later, I realized that "dark spot" was a shadow. FML
I agree, your life sucks (4819) - you totally deserved it (33957)

(-1)Maybe it wasn't op's shadow? It couldve been something else in the room or something from outside. That would make more sense.

(-1)is fml just reusing old fml's?? I've read this exact fml when reading random ones.

(-1)op never said it was his/her shadow. it couldve been the shadow from something else. tho ydi op....
(-1)you were bound to block the light creating the spot/shadow from moving about and notice the "spot" disappear into your shadow. ydi for having a moment of dumb.

(-1)All modern paint is toxic. Oh and "Latex" paint... Yeah. NO Latex in it. The cheap stuff is mostly vinyl compounds, and dyes that can be absorbed through the skin.
(0)hahaha my whole family has done this before, but we thought it was a stain on thr carpet. we spent 45 minutes trying to get rid of it! hahahah fyl

#102 - On 07/31/2010 at 5:23am by drpepperrules
(0)Only if the lighting and/or the object casting the shadow does, idiot.

#123 - On 07/31/2010 at 8:41am by yagurlteeteexoxo
(0)lawllzzz... you must've felt crusty when you realized it was a shadow :p
#127 - On 07/31/2010 at 9:36am by pancake_mixx
(-1)It's funny because it's a FML about a person wasting time painting over a "dark spot" on his wall that was really his own shadow.
(+1)Ok people it wasn't their shadow. It was A shadow of something else. Read the FML and stop asking him if he would have seen the shadow move.

A lot of these "oopsies" FMLs can be attributed to a momentary lack of focus or a brainfart or just plain lack of foresight, but this one? Wow.
You're just plain stupid. Irredeemably useless. I can hardly believe you survived long enough to learn how to type. It actually angers me that resources have been allocated to your existence. We'll never get that back. You're a mistake that continues to promulgate further mistakes. You're the human Viet Nam.
Criminey. FML for reading about you and your tiny hamster brain. FML.
(+2)You should absolutely see a psychiatrist. They will give you a pill to chill the fu*k out while you deal with your horrific anger problem. Think about it... WTF do you care that she is an imbecile? OP is light hearted about it, you are enraged.
You're welcome.
(0)that was an epic fail. a shadow? like from ur head? wow
#151 - On 07/31/2010 at 2:26pm by ncvolley123
(0)I highly doubt you used a whole bucket of paint for that spot!
#163 - On 07/31/2010 at 5:01pm by tarheels32388
(0)people like you shouldn't be aloud to touch anything toxic, hot or dangouros instead of putting stupid warning labels on irons "do not iron clothes while wearing."
(0)op never said the shadow was her/his own.
the shadow could had been an object, maybe that's why it didn't move
oh, and Op, your retarded
(0)If "a bucket of paint and hrs later" meant u used a whole bucket of paint on that spot...u need some help.

(0)it not just the brits who know Americans are dumb we canadians also have figured it out our first clue - so do you have phones?
BTW: we invented the telephone
(+2)You really wanna play this game? Do you have a personal computer?
BTW: Americans invented the personal computer. Oh shit. Suck on that, bitch.
Next time you call 300+ million people dumb, try typing in an intelligent manner.
(0)would it hurt u if I were to tell you that ur a retard......
#183 - On 08/01/2010 at 1:14am by HazelBunny
(0)wow i've heard some really dumb shit.. but that takes it for first place.
#189 - On 08/01/2010 at 2:25am by lawlatyourfml
(0)Well, are you an ignorant American??? Just wondering LOL
See.. it's stupid to ask such a question. Whether the OP is blonde really has nothing to do with anything at all. Same as asking you if you're American is just as equally as stupid.
(0)are you blonde? how the hell could you not know it was a shadow
#200 - On 08/01/2010 at 10:49pm by sk8trzero53
(0)are you blonde? how the hell could you not know it was a shadow.. I call this fake because I seriously can't believe someone is that stupid. ugh stupid anti-flood
#201 - On 08/01/2010 at 10:51pm by sk8trzero53
(0)Actually guys, if the lighting in the room is bad it's perfectly plausible (but still stupid) that she may not have realised the "dark spot" was a shadow.
#204 - On 08/02/2010 at 4:13am by crazymunkees
(0)Wow people that are calling him names i want to point out that he was Painting. The fumes from the paint probably got him high to a certain degree. Also, to people that say, "shadows move you idiot" and things of that nature, if the light and the thing casting the shadow are constant how is he to know? He said a dark SPOT, not a dark figure. And i am sure everyone has a brain-fart moments.
