Today, I opened my lunch in front of my friends at university. I had a note in my lunch from my mother that said "Have a good day sweetie! - Love mom". I wrote that note, and put it in my lunch to impress my friends. FML
I agree, your life sucks (12682) - you totally deserved it (39285)

How does showing your friends your immature and not capable of packing your own lunch, even though you are at university, impress them? If you do that at any university I've ever heard of, all that would happen is that you would become the laughing stock of the entire campus
i can't believe someone finally posted a normal comment for the first post

I think this is an FML beacause to impress his friends, that is what he has to do. like he hangs out with the type of people that would think that him having a note from his mom is cool.

Haha! I know, right? And i think that's pretty lame, writing a note to yourself.
#9 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:11pm by theoceanscool
Mother fucker, I saw this with no comments and went on my comp right away to be first, then these bitches beat me
The fact that being the first post pisses you off that much, It's almost as pathetic as the OP.
OP:I don't see how that would make you cool, i mean it would be sweet of your mom but I don't know about "cool" LOL.
wooooow lol pwned! Here I was trying to think of something smart to say but you totally won it good job :P
I think the fact that #8 just won everything u own, is the funniest thing I've heard all day!! LOL!

I HATE it when people do something completely idiotic, yet deliberate and intentional then say their life is fucked. Its your own damn fault!
#10 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:12pm by dancercuity922
I agree.
Maybe their lives wouldn't be fucked if they didn't intentionally act pathetic.
#12 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:13pm by meanie_monday
i know, right. its really gay that she did that. lmao
#195 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:39pm by iloveconcerts
I think using the word gay, and not actually meaning happy, or a guy that likes guys is more stupid than what the OP did.
#199 - On 10/28/2009 at 5:07pm by madisonmango711
wouldn't that be embarassing?!well not as embarassing as the person who made another facebook account so they could be friends with their self.
This is the strangest FML ever.
"Today, I was in a totally normal situation. Then I did some really odd shit because I inexplicably felt inadequate. Fuck my life."
What?
It'll be embarrassing when your friends realize the note is in your handwriting.

YDI for thinking that would impress them... What's so impressive about a college student whose mommy still packs her lunch for her?
#23 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:28pm by shananigans
This FML is really pointless! I've submitted probably 10 that are much better than this. Like this morning, I fell down half a flight of stairs because I randomly lost my balance-now thats effed.
#30- Randomly losing balance = stupidity. Thats not an FML, thats a GAL (get a life).
To the OP- I can imagine someone showing off a note from their parents, even 1st graders wouldnt do such.
I like how ppl are actually commenting on your fml story on another OP's post... lol.. is that what we do now when our stories don't get moderated?! lol
At what age is someone's mom writing them a note in their lunch something that friends would find impressive? Do all your friends have mommy issues? Separation Anxiety? Are they all mentally challenged in such a way that mom is one of the "cool" kids? Grow up, sheesh.
LAME!!! u r so stupid I bet they all thought u were dumb!
#37 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:45pm by babyb22kool
Excellent point #37 but i think you laid it on a little too thick
#144 - On 07/10/2009 at 4:37am by TheLoneWolf87
that's a bit sad, why dont you just ask your mother to write you cute notes?
It's not lame or anything for your parents to do things like that, everyone. It's really sweet and it makes you feel pretty loved.
At first I thoight this would be that your mom still humiliates you with stuff like that in college, but noo you humiliated yourself! And then you say fml? Doesn't make sense. And how would that impress them?? And if you were TRYING to impress them, then again, why is this an fml??? These stories just keep getting stupider
#42 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:57pm by mylifeisfuckedd
common guys, I feel kinda bad for the girl, she's obviously in need of some affection. It's FHL because she's ashamed of that, although it seems like she should talk to her mom.
I agree with you.
It's a pity that the majority of the other commenters is too young to realize that notes from a mom can be something someone wants as a demonstration of love and not something to be automatically classified as "omg, like, totally humiliating thing only little girls like, totally" or something...
why would that impress them? thats something a mom would do for somebody in elementary school-not college.
Why would you post this? All you did was say to everyone "Look how sad i am!" This isnt even an FML its just stupid.
#51 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:13pm by Gorillazbmx6
are your friends impressed by 8 year olds? or just university students who 'get treated' like 8 year olds? your life is fucked if your friends were like totally blown away by that. I feel bad for you and your friends... you're losers
#54 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:19pm by BLACKLIGHTNING
Well, it's not very average either.
I don't know many people who do this.
#97 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:52pm by inerdablanket
Bwhahahahahahaha! That is the most retarded thing I've heard yet today! Just sad, how would that impress anyone? Did you stack your lunch with a Lunchable, and some pudding snak packs cuz that might be more impressive than your fake note, throw a Kool Aide Jammer in there and they might not leave you alone. FAIL
#166 - On 07/10/2009 at 12:36pm by speak_a_da_truth
...wtf?
I mean, it isn't embarrassing to have a parent write a note, in fact it's really sweet, how is that impressive? Are you really that pathetic to the point where you have to create your own embarrassing situation then make it look cool?
#60 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:33pm by CyclonePsycho
epic FAIL: Sometimes you have no excuse
It's FMLs like these that gave me inspiration for my username. So I just wanted to say... Hahaha! What a loser!
#62 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:34pm by epicFAIL_Sometim
I hate these FMLs where the OP sorta deliberately fucks their own life... like you DID have a choice whether or not to put a sad note in your college lunch... you fucked your own life.
#68 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:45pm by deathbunny256
Post secret? Oh my. Haha. That'd be pretty funny acutally.
#155 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:09am by redbluegreen
Sooooo.....
you are your own mother.
This is the most unusual case of incest I've ever heard.
#91 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:12pm by GatorBites
ok why would you need to impress your friends with something like that? if they were your friends at all, they would care for you no matter if your mom left you stupid notes or not. this is so stupid!
#92 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:14pm by batgirl_babygirl
#17 good question :D .......... op: u r so weird! what kind of friends do u have??
#102 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:18pm by bb1_00
STUPID. does nto deserve to be on here. wats wrong with these ppl? FML's r going downhill lately...pretty desperate to put ver OBVIOUS fake ones on here...ugh
#114 - On 07/10/2009 at 12:18am by jumpgurl23
Where in Ontario do you live so I can come slap you silly? A note from your Mom of all people.. maybe from a girlfriend or a boyfriend, but your mom? really? ... hmm.
my mom did that for me when I was little and even when I was in 3rd grade i thought it was embarrassing.
#116 - On 07/10/2009 at 12:21am by Caayouteepie
i don't see how that would impress anybody, and i also don't see how "today i did something pointless and dweeby" is exactly FML-worthy. is it meant to be like, "i'm such a loser i write myself fake notes from my mother because i think that's cool"? i still don't understand why anyone would do that unless they were maybe six.
#123 - On 07/10/2009 at 1:07am by miss_california
it's funny cuz when she was younger kids probably laughed at her and she was embarrassed when her mom left a note. Now, she's older and she can appreciate how thoughtful that was. She's really a dork. And not the dork back from elementary or high school. She's a dork of the undergraduate kind. And that's cool!
This should go on www.mylifeisaverage.com . There is also a site called mylifeisg.com . You can put all your positive stories there.

...okay, so this might seem a bit forward of me. And I know this isn't Craig's List. However...
First, FYL.
Second, ignore the haters.
Third, if this is the level of impressing your standard is set at in accordance with fulfilling whatever void you feel in your own life... may I just say that I am *fantastic* in bed, and think I can help you. I'll even be sure to put on George Michael, for that extra element of spiritual-fulfillment-via-coitus he promises ever-so-silkily in that man-musk voice of his. Easy-win for both of us. Just something to think about; self-esteem is at stake here.
#132 - On 07/10/2009 at 2:49am by justanotherhuman
Holy fuck, that is the stupidest thing I have heard in a long, long time! You're in university and you WANT your friends to think that you're too immature and pampered to pack your own lunch? What the hell kind of friends do you have, that they would be impressed by that?! This scares me a whole lot!
Your a fucking idiot, theres no other way to say it. You clearly don't understand how to have and keep friends.
#140 - On 07/10/2009 at 3:49am by biskitbukit
Wow why do you think your friends would be impressed? I think it's ridiculous big time!
#141 - On 07/10/2009 at 3:52am by jessamyn_it_is
I'd think they'd be more impressed by a note from a hot stud. Or even a stalker. But your Mommy? Pitiful.
If you think Mommy-notes impress your friends at UNIVERSITY, you have much bigger problems... WTF!
#146 - On 07/10/2009 at 5:12am by JanisEvans
So you think your life is F'd just because you don't get everything that pops in your head? So what if your Mom don't leave a note? I'm sure she slaves away to provide you a home, basic necessesities, schooling amenities and luxuries.
This is not fml material. You're just an uncontented brat!
#153 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:46am by orhlixyone
and why would that impress your friends? your in college man..that makes you look like a little kid..
#157 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:35am by hawaiianxpunchx3
...I can't really figure out how many ways you fail at life, but its a lot.
#159 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:49am by arms_akimbo
Something you do intentionally to yourself like this.. isn't FML. What, were you SURPRISED when you opened your lunchbox? Or embarrassed? If it's either of those, you might want to consider therapy because you're probably schizophrenic.
total life fail! who would put a note, written by them and NOT their mom, and put in their lunch? maybe its time to go back home and live in the basement till youre 50 if you want and need notes from your mom in your lunch....putz
#161 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:59am by magichateball
maybe next time try "love (insert guy's name here)" so they think your boyfriend wrote it. a mom packing lunch for you when you're in university? ...
did you think that your mom would've put a note in your lunch just because you put a fake one in, or something?
#163 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:20am by paper_flowers
I don't see how this is supposed to impress them.
Maybe tommorow you should show up wearing Clog shoes and Rainbow Suspenders.
I got a note like that on my first day of high school..
but my mum actually did write it...
I kept it in my pocket for the first few weeks until my mum washed my blazer and it got screwed up lol
anyway, how would that impress them??
#167 - On 07/10/2009 at 12:47pm by TotallyHyped01
when i started reading this, i assumed the fml was that you got a note from your mom in your lunch and you were embarrassed. wow.... why would you even make this an fml obviously no one is going to give you sympathy for it
#172 - On 07/10/2009 at 5:06pm by socrkeeper001
LOL, you suck at life, and how the fuck would that impress your friends? Wow your mom loves you, how cool!!! We need to hang out more, lol. FAG
How sad.
(A) You're at University
(B) How would that impress anyone
(C) You're Sad
Get a life.
#180 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:18pm by Cabbotage
I fail to see how that could possibly impress anyone at university, whether or not the note was real.
#181 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:55pm by l33tm0nk3y
hahahahaha this is so funny for no apparent reason. wow. you rock at life.
#182 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:09pm by sammisamantha
people, i think you are overlooking the severe parental issues this person must be experiencing, maybe you should speak to a psych sadlife. It will help
#183 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:19pm by Lifelooser
I don't fucking get it. My head is a-whirr. You put a note in your lunch and wrote "Love mom" on it to IMPRESS your friends in UNIVERSITY? Now your complaining about something you did on purpose? This FML is massively stupid and a total mind-fuck.
#185 - On 07/11/2009 at 3:30am by pietastesgood
Your life isn't fucked you're just an idiot.. go fuck yourself sideways while hanging off the back of a moving car
#186 - On 07/11/2009 at 7:00am by yhw718
FYL not only thinking of, but acting upon, writing a lunch note "from your mom".
FYL even more for thinking it would impress college students.
or if it did, FYL for having college friends that would be impressed with it! lol
impress your friends at a university with a love note from your mom??? seriously????
#190 - On 07/17/2009 at 1:35am by katherineharriss
I can understand (just) as to why you might want to "have a note from mother" to act as an ice breaker or something like that...
but...
After having done it willfully going onto a website dedicated to peoples' poor fortune (as in, something completely out of their hands) to brag about it? Nope.
#192 - On 07/23/2009 at 6:21pm by SecsNoises
isn't it "uncool" to have notes from your "mum" in your lunchbox? unless she's not around anymore then fyl man
