Today, I was at the laundromat doing my clothes when I noticed a cute guy next to me. I tried to be a ninja and sneak my sock into his basket so I could start a conversation with him. He saw me. FML

I'm replying to be seen at the top (Yeah, at least I admit it)
Sounds like you are a stalker, might want to get a life maybe?

#56 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:45pm by HahaYDI

How does that make her a stalker?

#61 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:57pm by reapfml

#67 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:06pm by unkinged44

i agree. i'd be annoyed at you too, no matter how pretty you are.

#69 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:09pm by untalented1

ydi for being an ostrich.

#94 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:35pm by a1mostevi1

Haha what kinda convo would it be? "OH I SEE MY SOCK HAS SLIPPED INTO YOUR BASKET. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY ITS NOT ON MY OTHER FOOT. WEIRD" haha

#138 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:36am by GP08

Did you happen to be wearing your ninja suit that day? Because if you were even if he didn't catch you it would start a weird Convo and a new fml post.

Today some chick dressed as a ninja put her nasty sock in my basket then tried to play it off.fml

#145 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:04am by big_hairyman

GP08 that made me laugh so much!! Haha thank you!

#161 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:40am by turtlellama

TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF THERE #148?

#168 - On 08/19/2009 at 2:58am by kyle_kbo20

"I accidentally my whole sock in your basket."
"The whole thing? Wow. Here you go.."
*awkward silence*
"Wanna shag?"
"Sure, why not?"

I lol'd at the first part.

#192 - On 08/19/2009 at 6:36am by Subal

YDI for not owning a laundry machine.

#201 - On 08/19/2009 at 9:52am by CrackhouseDoug

Maybe she just doesn't have great social skills.

OP: Nice try, but fail :P

#14 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:07pm by Sun_Kissed18

ilove you for being a girl that is cool enough to try to pull of ninjaskillz in public and i would suggest not trying anything like bras or panties until your skills improve

#9 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:04pm by tpag3r

clearly she has no real ninja skills because she got caught.

#102 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:51pm by ohreally123

HAHAH SAME! I love you for doing that. Although YDI, nice work. I hoped you never got caught :P
Good luck with the guy hahah x

#190 - On 08/19/2009 at 6:10am by Kiwi_Splash

At least it was only a sock. Stick to those until your ninja skills improve.

#4 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:01pm by DeathByFalchion

Ninja fail.

#238 - On 03/04/2010 at 1:14am by Chrystophyr

YDI for not knowing how to start conversations without pulling stupid stunts.

#5 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:01pm by Jacks_Penguin

What the fuck kind of conversation are you going to start with a sock in his basket?

"Oh hey I accidentally put this sock in your basket my name is crazy bitch, its nice to meet you!"

#6 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:02pm by Copilot

I think she would have been like

Hey How you doing, oh my socks couldnt find this anywhere

haha yeah

wats ur name?

Johnny urs?

Lenna wanna get lunch?

Sure

though it would have mor stubstance then this this would be the gist of it.

#11 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:04pm by RJB

thats exactly what i was trying to figure out. hahaha.

#81 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:46pm by Gisellee

You tried to be a ninja? Thats pretty fucking funny lol

#7 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:02pm by RJB

So you pulled a Naruto, eh?

#8 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:03pm by ryoga

FAIL
I'm sorry, but Naruto is the lamest excuse for a ninja I have ever seen. Even White Ninja beats Naruto.

#45 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:30pm by RESTAREA

excuse me but naruto is the most popular manga in the world,and hes awesomely hot and rules,and he can also do all that ninja jazz,so dont go dissing something very popular cuz ppl will diss u back

#48 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:34pm by fmlthepornaddict

xD Thanks for making me laugh :3

"Awesomely hot", eh? You're as bad as the Twilight addicts. And you're pathetic for thinking that I'm going to be scared about Naruto fans "dissing" me.
Enjoy your future of dressing up your cats to look like Naruto :3

#55 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:45pm by RESTAREA

Most popular =/= best.
Naruto is an insult towards ninjas like Twilight is an insult towards vampires.
Besides, One Piece is way better.
I wouldn't be surprised if the OP was wearing bright orange clothing.

#82 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:49pm by TheLetterZero

White ninja power!!
Fight the failrutos!!

#86 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:08pm by Night22

JSYK naruto is not by any means the most popular manga/anime in the world. In the US maybe, but not the world. I know that Fullmetal Alchemist outranks it in the anime capital of the world, Japan and I do believe that Bleach outranks it in the US. Inuyasha may as well. Do your research, dude.

And to the OP, how exactly do you even start a conversation with a sock? are you like, Oh, there's that sock i've been missing.....how'd it get there? Anyway, now that i've proven that i'm trying way too hard to start a conversation, want to go to lunch with me?

I mean, really. Fail. YDI.

#110 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:04pm by anewmoonrising

fullmetal alchemist is awesome.

#112 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:09pm by n1125

XD So true.

#75 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:25pm by Sioraf

I totally agree with this.

#240 - On 03/08/2010 at 11:04pm by xFuckThisLife

"ninja" huh
anyway pretty funny and u could've just oh i dont know started a conversation with him normally?

#13 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:05pm by notlovingit

Ninja??

Ninjas don't put socks in peoples' baskets. If you were really trying to be a ninja, you would have assassinated him by decapitating him with your katana blade and left the laundromat without anyone seeing you.

Ninjas don't have conversations. You have a lot to learn if you ever really want to be a ninja.

I don't think ninjas even wear socks.

#15 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:08pm by thugbert

Nice. This made me laugh. :)

#23 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:15pm by Siren_00

Ninja? Real ninja couldn't even afford a katana (Japan being an iron-deficient nation and the ninja being relatively poor). A real ninja would have assassinated the guy with his own sword or, more likely, by getting into a position close enough to him to poison his food or something.

I mean, honestly, if you're going to criticise someone else's use of the word 'ninja', especially if you use the phrase 'real ninja', at least get an idea of what the word truly means.

#34 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:23pm by zargon

He didn't say "real ninja".
Also, you can always try using CRAZY MAGICAL POWERZZZ! like the sorry excuse of a show featuring a loser in bright orange.

#84 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:52pm by TheLetterZero

You are correct, he did not. My brain inserted 'real' for some reason. All the same, the actual point of my post remains unchanged.

#93 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:27pm by zargon

Because a regular "Hey, how's it going?" would have just been creepy...

#16 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:09pm by shananigans

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, cause LOL that's what I JUST told her to say. =P

#32 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:21pm by lologirl419

YDI for failing at being a ninja.

#17 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:11pm by KittyKat_Chan

why can't you just start a conversation?

#18 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:11pm by pieofchrist

You, good sir, are rather awesome.

#19 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:11pm by shananigans

Um, this was supposed to be a reply to #15.

first of all if you use the word ninja to describe yourself your nothing but an ugly nerd (all nerds are ugly no matter what hollywood makes them out to be.) and second of all what would of happened if he hadnt caught you? he still would have known that you put it there because how else would it have gotten there? magic? so for that one your an idiot.

so to sum my comment up your a creepy idiotic ugly nerd(: but go on ahead and keep trying that out and let me know how many guys never talk to you again after you meet them.

#24 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:15pm by Paige_Nicole10

wow lol the old nerd stereo types, u know i hope u know that the world is not divided into nerds and jocks, that's the oldest rick in the book. OP ydi for throwing a sock into someone's basket

#33 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:22pm by eman4life23

Oh wow... bitter much? I happen to know some rather cute nerds. And not everyone who describes something as a "ninja" is a nerd. To sum my post up: you sound bitter, so you must have been an "ugly nerd."

OP: You got your conersation starter. Hope he doesn't think you're too weird... lol

#37 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:24pm by CheshireHalli

My college is basically Nerd University and, trust me, there are a lot of men and women there that you would be totally jealous of, lookswise. And, yes, there are plenty of average and ugly ones, too, but, ya know, that's just representative of the population at large.

And, just so you know, a hot, perfectly-proportioned chick that I can discuss relativity with over breakfast or consult with for a difficult proof? Even hotter.

#42 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:29pm by zargon

how can you call someone an idiot if you can't even tell the difference between "your" and "you're"

#47 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:34pm by chunkofchange

but...
nerds are clever. op is either a nerd or so dumb they put a sock in someone elses laundry basket.
but then you can be a nerd and anti-social which means ts would not be clever in these situations.
*is confused*

the other FML I was just reading...
=)

#143 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:59am by Jazzywrites007

its funny that the person that makes most sense is comment number 42

#165 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:56am by suaveneanderthal

pahah you people have a confusion. there is a MAJOR diffrence in smart and nerd, i haven't ever known of someone being hated on for being smart. and from the sound of it one of you is talking about the 1980's version of a nerd. and no it may not be divided by jock and nerd but it sure as hell is divided into have and have not's

so far as calling me bitter? hmm never been called that.. but hmm hey its just something diffrent and i may have to get used to it. but whatevs. usually im just said to be brutally honest, have opinions, or complete bitch. none of which i really take offense to. and me, a nerd? cheerleader and dance team baby!(: so forget that one. oh and as for going to a nerd college? (or at least ya'lls version of a nerd) honestly i wish i could go to texas a&m university which is a "nerd" college, and i have wanted to go there ever since i was very little. but hmm don't have the money for it and the scholorships i qualify for that would pay for most of it only cover louisiana universitys and technical colleges. (again have and have not's)

hah whoever corrected my spelling, just go jump off a bridge. i think its funny that when people want to say something smart ass on here but have nothing to say they correct spelling, even though this is the internet and about 90% of the stuff posted on the internet isn't spelled correctly (oh and btw did this on my phone correct punctuation is a little more difficult and not very important when i'm using that) oh and i do know the diffrence in your and you're
your-posessive
you're- conjunction meaning you are
see, actually i'm pretty good at english and grammer, maybe not the best but good.

as for homophobic? not really, hmm im guessing you were reading a comment from a few weeks ago, and i wouldn't call that homophobic, more anti-femminist/anti-manhater but i guess it probably did sound like it. actually i tend to love gay guy's especially flamin' (i hope that didn't offend anyone but i don't know a better word), like at one of my old high schools my favorite parts of the day was talking to my bio teacher and in another class a gay guy. . hmm? i guess i don't really have any lesbian friends, but then again i don't think i know any straight up lesbians other than my deceased cousin and her "husband" and i always loved them to death.

but hmm what i thought everyone else called nerds i call a dragon kid, and what ya'll call nerds apparently i call them "normal" "hard working" or "driven", so to avoid confusion i used nerd, as in rarely wears something other than black, plays pokemon far after the age of ten, i think its called nataru is thier favorite books (its like an anime series i think), dragonball z, ummmm world of war craft&halo, all damn dayy people,
but i think the rest of the stuff is right, i mean call it like you see it, but thats what i did. but hmm i rarely agree with the majority of people that comment on here. i guess its just a southern thing hmm maybe just the south should seceed from the union again, with the yanks and cali boys that i've ever met im sure our sexy ass ole boys could kick ass. i think a lot of this nations problems would be solved easily if only this would happen, i mean the rest of the country can become communist like obama wants(and apparently they want too because i know we didn't vote his ass in and the only people who did vote for him was because he's black), and we can stay the america that we have been for over two-hundred years, and taking the best part of the country with us. our FREEDOMS. our guns, our food, whiskey, and our football. hmm i sure know one thing though americas military would crumble if my louisiana boys would leave, from this state alone we supply more soldiers than all of the rest of the states combined, not too bad for a state this size. but we have texas on our side too and it has one of the largest populations AND land areas. hmm opinions opinions, just like an ass crack, everybody has one. just some food for thought, i know im rambeling but its 3am here(:

#174 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:47am by Paige_Nicole10

Dude, stop trying so hard. o.o
I could state so many negative things about what you posted, WITHOUT judging you. Because, well, I don't know you.

*Hint, hint.*

Oh, and two wrongs don't make a right. Immaturity is the root of all ignorance.

#180 - On 08/19/2009 at 4:28am by unused_account

um why do gay people expect their parents will accept them being homosexual? especially children of Christian homes? first off, its your choice to be that wayy. second a sin. third gross. fourth, no biological grandchildren for them. so ydi.

Paige Nicole... do you have an "off" button? If you're using your phone, how many hours does it take for the battery to run down? Your "thoughts" are truly fascinating, but there's only so much the rest of us can take before our brains start to run out our ears.

Kay, so I kinda think that you're extremely immature and childish.

And I kinda think that you're trying way too hard to impress some random internet people.

And I kinda think that you're bullshitting most of what you said, and even if you're not, no one gives a flying fuck.

And I kinda think you said "hmm" way too much in your last post.

#218 - On 08/19/2009 at 9:15pm by likeOMGwow

hmmm... you made a lot of hmmm good points but hmmm i just cant seem to hmmm...care?


ps, being a cheerleader or on the dance team doesnt automatically make you not a nerd. thats very stereotypical.

pss, dance team? seriously? no offense to anyone but i never really saw dance team at school as a "cool" thing. but maybe thats because i think its fun to play videogames like halo with my friends and as a nerd (because according to you anyone that plays halo is a nerd) i guess dance team kind of struck me as pointless and kind of ridiculous waste of money for the school. not as bad a step team though. those seem to piss me off for no reason. god i hate step teams. and they think theyre all cool, "oh look at me im clapping my hands and stomping me feet, aint i just the epitome of cool?".

whole worlds gone to shit.

#224 - On 08/20/2009 at 11:37am by Plumppotato

"I tried to be a ninja"? Please. Could you have worded that ANY lamer?
Also, just freakin' TALK to the dude. I'm sure he'd have liked that better.
It's not that hard. Just say "Hey, how's it going?" or something casual.
YDI for needing a ninja-sock to start a conversation with someone...

YDI
Ninjas don't wash their clothes.

Creeper Fail. Extra fail for being a chick. Chicks aren't supposed to be awkward around guys.

#79 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:40pm by jonny2x4

epic fail, "be a ninja" they made me add it to my favorites cuz of that line. "im such a ninja i can throw a sock into a basket without a dude noticing!" or, u could, acshly say hi.

#80 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:44pm by manturay9

ROFL FAIL

#85 - On 08/18/2009 at 9:57pm by whoopsies_1

Ohh awkward

#87 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:12pm by KiddNYC10

REAL NINJAS ARE SO BADASS, THEY DON'T NEED TO USE A PICKUP LINE.
Yeah.

#88 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:12pm by Night22

I don't see how that would've gone well even if he didn't see you.
"Excuse me, my sock's in your basket..."
"Why?"
or
"Who's sock is this?"
"I'm sorry, that's mine"
"What the fuck..."

#90 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:16pm by foryoublue94

You know, I'm a rather shy person myself, but I wouldn't try that bullshit. Seriously, what the hell? Just say "Hey, nice day eh?" or something... just talk!

#91 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:17pm by DameGreyWulf

I think that's cute. I hope you used the embarrassing opp. to start a conversation. "Sorry about trying to put a sock in your hamper." (That sounds like a terribly-written innuendo and something the guy would say, but you get my point.) "I hope you can forgive me for trying to make an excuse to talk to you."

#92 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:25pm by cassandrarose526

Laundry day? Do you go every Wednesday and Saturday, except twice last month he skipped the weekend? If not, then you deserve it.

#95 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:36pm by Neferria

And that my friends is why i have no clean clothes.

#96 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:38pm by misterxmuncher

YDI for sure, but I would have talked to you anyway for being a ninja :D

#97 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:40pm by Fibericon

just freakin talk to the guy!! it's not that hard or scary, i promise. this is coming from a 13-year-old!!!

#99 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:43pm by triplethreat13

LOL awkward!

#100 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:44pm by purple19

Triplethreat13, why would a thirteen year old be doing their laundry in a laundromat? Really...

#101 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:50pm by iFruit

i think what triplethreat13 meant was...
their comment was coming from a 13 year old
(in simple terms: triplethreat13 is the 13 year old)
... they were just implying how pathetic this FML is.. dating advice from a 13 year old

now how old are you?
jeezzz

#104 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:55pm by tingting1

ifruit, reread my comment. i'm sure you had a misunderstanding in my reference to 13-year-olds. i was saying that I'M 13 and I'M the one telling the OP that it's not that hard to start a conversation! when someone my age tells an adult (term used loosely) something like thag, the adult has an issue.

#105 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:57pm by triplethreat13

If you succeded, how would that have made youba ninja? Even figuratively, all you did was shove your herpies in someone elses clothes

#106 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:58pm by JayXL14

what would the conversation be like? Hey, you stole my sock, let's make out!

#107 - On 08/18/2009 at 10:59pm by cmac86

LOL.

#108 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:00pm by kacie13

YDI for being a HO

#109 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:00pm by starralchemist90

So who cares be like your totally hot!!

#111 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:08pm by skatergirl21

FAIL. You should have sneaked your bra or panty into his basket.

#113 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:15pm by WonderBlunder

WTF? how would your sock end up there?? your conversation would be "why the hell is your sock in my basket.. stalker"

#114 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:16pm by molitov

Hahahahahaha

#115 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:17pm by skatergirl21

YDI for having feet to put socks on

#117 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:22pm by kriskonghb

I think he should have talked to you, just by the way you put it "I tried to be a ninja." hehe it was a good plan.

#118 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:23pm by rustyrox

i don't think ninjas would be creepy enough to put an article of their clothing in someone elses laundry basket.

#119 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:24pm by BalenciagaBetch9

I loled at this fml. Awesome OP

#120 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:29pm by fmh123

#122 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:43pm by person1000003

I love reading the comments on FML posts. It's like watching a bunch of high school girls bicker, except it's on the internet and the aforementioned high-schoolers are retarded.

#123 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:48pm by FordPrefect

or you could just grow a pair and talk to the guy. lame

#124 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:52pm by martha

It's not that hard to talk to a guy! You could've talked struck up a convo while waiting for your laundry to be done instead of being suchhh a creeper. Congratulations.

#125 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:55pm by RawanL

Jesus's hairy testicles, why are you people so mean?!? I think that's cute. Embarassing, but still cute.

#126 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:56pm by WeedWoman

Yeahh it's cute if you don't get caught!

#127 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:59pm by RawanL

I read "I tired to be a ninja..." and clicked YDI

#128 - On 08/18/2009 at 11:59pm by LordOfTheHobos

And not even, it's even cuter if you get caught? If you don't get caught, noone knows..that's not cute. You are just cranky Rawan, go smoke some weed!

Actually it's not cute at all. It's weird and tactless.

#131 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:07am by FordPrefect

how is this even an fml? you're the one that tried-key word,"tried"-to be a "ninja",and failed.

#130 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:05am by xoQuyenn

Well you obviously don't have the necessary skills to be a ninja, like myself.

#132 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:12am by IAmANinjaRawr

oh? really? it's not cute I guess I was mistaken..or maybe it's a fucking opinion you dipshit..god damn chill the fuck out, why is everyone so fucking dickish on this website, it's supposed to be funny! lighten up a little!

#133 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:14am by WeedWoman

A weedwoman, why don't you go smoke week and stop being such a queer you high-on.

#134 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:16am by RawanL

wouldnt he have wondered how it got in there?

#135 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:22am by Snazaza

...what? you can't smoke a week, a week is a period of time..it isn't tangible. and i'm not being a "queer" you ignorant offensive prick. and what the fuck is a high-on?

#136 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:22am by WeedWoman

lol this is a little desparate but really funny

#137 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:26am by grlwitperlEring

Tried to be ninja = you deserved it HARDCORE

#141 - On 08/19/2009 at 12:55am by Schooler90

how the FUCK would that ever start a conversation?!

#147 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:08am by anjay67

How is it so difficult to just smile and say hi? What are you, thirteen?

#149 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:11am by annamg

how the FUCK would that ever start a conversation?!

#152 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:14am by anjay67

lmao. i loved this
mostly because you didnt try to be 'cute' like every other fucking girl on this site.
instead you tried to be a ninja. and ninjas are awesome

#154 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:17am by ashole1990

Fail, if you want to start a conversation, go the easy way and simply start it

#155 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:20am by Shyman4ever

KAY #149 I AM THIRTEEN SO SHUT UP
And i do not start convos like that , i just start a convo.

#156 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:23am by dora9613

Yeah like proving 13-year-olds maturity/intelligence is so much easier by USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL and telling them to shut up, good job.

#162 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:43am by Vacant

Dude...everyone knows I am the only ninja left

#157 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:25am by werepyre007

YDI but thanks for the laughs before bed . . . HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! next time less ninja and more just smile and say hello. He'll talk back and the conversation starts or he'll blow you off. The worst he can do is not answer and you were already not talking to him before.

#158 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:28am by athos1237

saying hello is a pretty effective way to start a conversation, why would you want to add a sock to the equation

#159 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:32am by AshleyRose784

wow ha I bet that was an awkward moment, eh?

#160 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:36am by dRose22

If I caught a girl inserting her clothes into my laundry in order to get my attention, I certainly wouldn't be upset about it.

#163 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:45am by dan131m

anything that says "it tried to be a ninja" means YDI

#164 - On 08/19/2009 at 1:48am by mochiko

lol

#166 - On 08/19/2009 at 2:19am by amsedel

Please how this is a fml. I mean it was like a 2 second barely embarrising moment in front of a random guy you don't know.

#169 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:05am by amadhippie

YOU FAILED AT NINJA.

#170 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:15am by fakkumairaifu

not a good fml at all...mods needs to tighten up a bit

#172 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:28am by Jarlais

@173: "Stop saying things like "Ninja" or anything else lame, geeky, pathetic, fucking annoying, gokey related (whatever the hell gokey means), or anything fucking japanese or anime. It makes guys want to shoot you through the forehead."

I'm Japanese, I speak it, and I love anime/manga.
So, here's pretty much what you're saying:
"If you speak Japanese, or say anything related to Japan, you're annoying and guys will hate you."

Actually, I live here in the States and a lot of American men love me-despite my heritage and love for my country.

OP: I think that was a silly move you made, but I thought it was cute~! If I was a man, I would really love what you did. However, being a ninja was considered shameful. I'm sure you didn't know that, though, so I'm not going to give you a hard time.

#179 - On 08/19/2009 at 4:19am by unused_account

Don't pay any attention to Pimpin,
He's A Candy ass Maggot.
=)

#184 - On 08/19/2009 at 5:05am by Jazzywrites007

unused, I've only seen this post from you, and I immediately find you annoying


But of course, I'm not a guy, so it doesn't matter.


Also, pimpin's point was towards wapanese and weeaboos.

#228 - On 08/20/2009 at 10:03pm by DameGreyWulf

Wow.. that's only a tiny bit creepy.. Why not go up to him like a normal person instead of trying to sneak your clothes into his basket..

#175 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:47am by R3TROxLOV3

uhm.. #173 & #174! O_O what a long ass comment! jeez its jus an FML. didnt need to go all technical and w/e on them! JEEZ. x_x

#176 - On 08/19/2009 at 3:49am by jessii

Why not grow up a little & just speak.
It's pretty pointless trying to get someone to notice you.
They'll notice you more if you SAY something.
Socks aren't conversation starters.

#178 - On 08/19/2009 at 4:17am by babycankles

and how exactly would your sock end up in his shit if you didn't put it there?
I hope you get maced.

#182 - On 08/19/2009 at 4:39am by bordemstirs

YDI, but props for trying to be a ninja

#187 - On 08/19/2009 at 5:48am by lettertjes

A ninja??? A fucking moronic creeper seems more like the appropriate interpretation... YDI!

#188 - On 08/19/2009 at 5:51am by JanisEvans

female ninjas.....silently making me sandwiches.
*takes #174's soapbox away* this is FML not the place for essays or super long drawn out replies...i seriously lost interest in what you had to say about halfway through...go make me a sandwich with the ninjas!

#191 - On 08/19/2009 at 6:16am by magichateball

damn you must be lonely

#193 - On 08/19/2009 at 6:51am by sad_bird

That is actually pretty cute. haha. but hilarious, though.

#197 - On 08/19/2009 at 7:30am by Zubat

wooaahh!! can you say awkward? haha

#198 - On 08/19/2009 at 8:03am by hollyemma92

here's another ninja way to start a conversation, turn towards him, open you mouth and make a sound that resembles "Hi"

#199 - On 08/19/2009 at 9:25am by ultraslick

YDI, retard. Just open your mouth and start a conversation using these things called WORDS.

#200 - On 08/19/2009 at 9:45am by deaditegirl

That's a Fail....if you're seen while being Ninja....then maybe you shouldn't try that ever again and start an actual conversation

#202 - On 08/19/2009 at 9:55am by Chalaka

how about a smile or a simple hi??

#203 - On 08/19/2009 at 10:05am by ndnsweetie

ninja fail.

But +25cool points for trying

#204 - On 08/19/2009 at 10:14am by Brey1013

So , while I already said this before, I feel the need to repeat myself...what the hell is wrong with you people? serioiusly, For example, "YDI, retard. Just open your mouth and start a conversation using these things called WORDS." - deadite girl. Wow, does it make you feel better about yourself being a shithead to anonymous people on the internet? This is supposed to be a funny website...why do you feel the need to be a complete asshole to people? Why don't you face some of the issues that you clearly have and then maybe you can start treating people with some fucking decency and kindness you pricks.

YDI for "trying to be a ninja"

#214 - On 08/19/2009 at 5:50pm by AlexZB

ydi for saying "trying to be a ninja"

#215 - On 08/19/2009 at 5:54pm by coopert28

YDI for even remotely trying to act like a ninja.

A true ninja is cool enough to be talked to with socks & laundry baskests.

#217 - On 08/19/2009 at 8:39pm by WowYerDumb

I actually think this is really cute, and I reckon this would totally work on me :)

If I was at a laundrette and I caught a girl slipping a sock into my basket and then she blushingly told me that she just wanted an excuse to talk to me, I think I'd probably melt a little.

But I'm a girl, so possibly not OP's target audience.

#219 - On 08/19/2009 at 11:09pm by nodayliketoday

i got a dirty sock for ya that'll make ya melt.

#223 - On 08/20/2009 at 10:31am by WeedWoman

mmmmmkay, chillax, girl.
You do know that it seemed like an odd thing to say, right?
No need to get all defensive and pissed off...
I'm sorry I made fun of something you've been saying since you were a little kid. There are a lot of people out there who just say stuff like that because they think they're cool... And they're not...

#230 - On 08/21/2009 at 2:58am by lologirl419

But how the hell does it take more balls to acknowledge him than sneaking a sock in his basket? It's quite easy to get caught doing that, as you've demonstrated, and it's quite a deal more awkward when you are. .... And how the hell would sneaking a sock in his basket even register a conversation? He could have just taken off with your sock. Then what? And it'd be a rather obvious thing, too, that it wasn't an accident, even if you weren't caught. Let's assume the sock is something different from typical socks (rainbow? promotional?), so he'd notice right away, but now how would it have been physically possible for your sock to end up in his basket, other than you putting it there? If the boy wasn't bright enough to see that, he wouldn't be worth dating in my book. Unless your dryers were right next to each other, and you were just heaping out your socks so that they spilled everywhere, but I'm sure he'd then see that as you being a complete idiot.

What you should have done was trip or "accidently" dump some of the basket somehow, and then he would help you pick up your socks, or he would at least notice you. Then you can just use how silly you are for tripping.

#231 - On 08/21/2009 at 12:54pm by DameGreyWulf

See, not being able to just talk to a guy really makes me think 'confidence issues.' Which sucks. Because most guys I've talked to, and most of my guy friends say that they'd rather just have a girl come out and talk to them, it's just so much easier than the back-and-forth-do-I-say-it?-Does-he-do-this?

#232 - On 08/21/2009 at 1:07pm by cruncheweezy

HAHAHA i just love the ninja part, if you didnt ad that then i would not have found that amusing.... so yeeeeaaahhhhhhh..... ha

that was pro...total ninja right there

lmao if you were a REAL ninja you wouldn't have gotten caught js...

#236 - On 01/10/2010 at 4:01pm by bugsGoRawr

what I want to know is what you would do if he hadn't caught you or noticed that your sock was in his laundry?
