Lonely, so lonely

By Lonely_Army - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Qatar

Today, I realised that I've been deployed for far too long, when I caught myself looking down the cleavage of a mannequin wearing a bathing suit. FML

I'm not sure that's the correct definition of model behavior.

Don't worry. Many girls would love to go out with you. You served our country when it needed you. You'll find someone, don't worry.

He just said he's been deployed too long, not single. There's a chance he has a girlfriend waiting for him back home

Well, let's see, he's deployed sooo uh should he "get back in the game" with who, the manikin?

52 i dont comment much but i read alot and i have never seen a relevant useful comment from you. Just stop...

Alot of fml user only "comment" just to get themselves noticed

A perfect example of that is #66... Isn't that right 66?

x_Just_Ellie_x, he/she wasn't talking about you when he/she said "Just Stop". Read it again. :) As far as being deployed too long goes, I'm sorry man. I know nothing about that stuff, but isn't there even a way to like... Visit home for a LITTLE while? :/.... Again, idk anything about it. Sorry, again.

73- when you're deployed, you're deployed. The only way home is when you're finished executing orders or in a box. Send a care package to deployed military, and let them know they are appreciated. Don't ask them to come home to visit, that's depressing. Those of us in the military prefer recognition from people!

@54, actually, "manikin" is a variant spelling of "mannequin" that is also in the dictionary. That's the name of a book you should always consult before attempting to correct others' spelling.

I'm not sure that's the correct definition of model behavior.

Why don't you just go **** that mannequin!! Dane Cook anyone?

Dane Cook sucks. There, I said it.

Don't worry 75, you only said what everyone thinks anyway

Today, while working as a model to replace mannequins, somebody looked down my bathing suit. FML

They were curious to see why a guy would be wearing a bathing suit.

I'm just kidding; it didn't actually happen.

It didn't? Wow I'm surprised lol

Thank you for clarifying that it wasn't a real FML in the comments. I thought it was legit. /sarcasm

I'm sorry for disappointing you, FML community

You have shamed yourself and your family. You must offer your first-born child and two pop-tarts as sacrifices.

You say you're in the USA. You don't know what country OP comes from, but judging from his spelling of "realised" it probably isn't the USA. So technically OP's not serving our country by being on non-combat duty in a military base in Qatar. I know I'll get buried for this but ethnocentrism annoys me.

KingCeltic77 18

Well I'm guessing that if he isn't American, his country is an American ally. We're on the same side here, and that's good enough for me.

mbusey 20

I'm American, and I spell "realised" with an "s" instead of a "z".

17, how do you know OP is on "non-combat duty in a military base in Qatar"?

CoffeeChickBlows 13

Because the OP's location shows as Qatar, and as far as I know, there's no active military operations based out of the USA's bases there. Either way, KingCeltic made the assumption he's American, and his follow-up comment doesn't address that. Whether his country's an ally of the USA or not is irrelevant. I'm not looking for a fight - just politely noting that a lot of my fellow Americans tend to assume everything that happens must directly involve our country or our people.

You'll be home soon & I promise the girls won't care If you told em you was checking out a mannequin... lol Happy Memorial Day!! It's not just about BBQS!!

"You'll be home soon" Hopefully. I hate to point that out but that's what makes what he's doing so honorable.

nicole86 8

Well, being an army wife who has gone through multiple deployments you never say, "if you come home". You gotta keep it positive!

No trying to be a douche, but isn't that kind of setting yourself up for a potential let down? I mean obviously right now there isn't a war and a lot of service men/women will come home, it still is...imo

I kind of see why... Do they want you doing that to female customers? I don't think so.

Finnick_fml 12

.... who can blame you? Hope you can go home soon, thank you very much for your service :)

The awkward moment when the mannequin comes to life and slaps you. At least it wasn't the Bride of Chucky, otherwise you'd be dead.

The awkward moment you cup a feel on the mannequin and you get turned on.......wait what the ****?!?!

Squeaky not my proudest moment but it happens.

Hopefully you get shipped back to the states soon like very soon in that condition.

dominic1221 6

Or back to his home country. :P

Snafuusmc 12

Or that! I thought he was American so yeah that's my bad.
