Today, I found a bell that had been tied into the tassel of my ski hat by my twin sister as part of a longstanding prank war between us. I'm deaf and have apparently been jingling like an elf for over a week. FML

#7 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:49pm by TEAZO

Hahaha, I'm sorry but that sounds really cute!!

#8 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:50pm by gradschoolwoes

Hahaha that is excellent; your sister is funny

#9 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:54pm by jfool

Haha. Your sister owns.

#10 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:55pm by claritin

at first I thought that was messed up, then I couldn't stop laughing

#11 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:55pm by sunshyne84

oooh. so its a warning that a cute girl is on her way? I say all cute girls should get a bell! this way we know when to look and cheer for them^_-

#12 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:55pm by AliSama

lolz. I wish I had a twin to play pranks on! You are lucky. Plan your revenge! Have fun doing it.

#13 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:57pm by jazminbliss

hahahah. your sister wins. you should quit while you're behind.

#14 - On 03/20/2009 at 5:57pm by cuttybuddy

Not really a FML moment.
More like "Aww prank war is being continued"
But, thats pretty funny really.
Get her back!

#15 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:08pm by awesomemegan

Funny if it's true, but how did you put a hat on for a week without noticing a bell on it? Seems like you'd notice the weight of it, or at least see it.

ftr, I believe about 1/5 of the FML posts on here. And the ones I believe are whiners who got what they deserved.

#16 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:11pm by jessiegirl

Put a live lobster in her sock drawer.

#17 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:12pm by Tobias_Grey

ahahaha that's pretty clever!

#18 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:13pm by lalala24

This actually isnt that funny :/ its kind of sad.

#19 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:14pm by Kellayy

as mean as that it, its kind of funny. whenever you guys do stuff to each other, make sure to keep posting it on FML lol i wanna see how this goes.

#20 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:20pm by shehzeenahmed

what da what?! that is completely messed up..!!

#21 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:21pm by fcuk

owned

#22 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:27pm by zidane312

to get even, chop off her ears

#23 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:28pm by greenman

hahahahahahhahahahahaha

#117 - On 08/05/2009 at 9:10pm by 4lw4yzl0n3ly

hahah your sister is so funny and awesome. i'm glad you guys have the kind of relationship you do, lol. now get her back!

#24 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:28pm by bunnygirl

if shes blind draw a mustache on her in her sleep :P

#25 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:29pm by dwights

oh dang thats the sht....

if shes clever enough to think of that you 2 must have some great ones :D

i recommend you take black electrical tape and tape the "hose" on the faucet down (assuming its black) and when she turns on the faucet she gets sprayed...

#26 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:36pm by Coopshire

What? I didn't hear what you said.

#27 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:40pm by My_Little_Pony

Oh, wow...that's funny. I'm sorry...I know I shouldn't laugh, but damn, your sister has set the bar high. Just let her know payback's a bitch. ;) I'm sure you'll think of an appropriate prank to respond with.

#28 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:42pm by aupilot

Dying of laughter right now...

#29 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:43pm by thirdoutofthree

@ 16

It could have been one of those little bells that really don't weigh anything. *shrugs*

#30 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:44pm by tehninja

Aww, but that's cute. :3

#31 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:56pm by artykat

I have to admit, that was a pretty good one. Now its your turn to get her back with something better!

#32 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:57pm by fourwheelsoffury

In a way its a dick move because you're deaf, but then real clever caused you'd never expect it. Get her back good.

#33 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:05pm by Murphy_21

Aww xD
that's pretty cute
now it's your turn, I hope you get her back with something awesome enough to post on fmylife

#34 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:06pm by hk

You both have a good sense of humor.

#35 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:08pm by KMBF

I love this! This is my new favorite FML.

#36 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:19pm by loopy

Now THAT is a good prank! Not overly "mean"... doesn't destroy your stuff or make you look like a COMPLETE loser in public.. just a bit dorky. Rides that ragged edge of pranks. Sure, it F's your L a bit, but gotta give creds where it's due!

Gonna take some serious thought to top that! Go get her! :-)

#37 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:20pm by Paulspacefdot

Well Look on the brightside, At least you couldn't hear the people laughing at you...

You should get her back though, I like #25's idea!

#38 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:20pm by TouchDown

That's actually a little funny. Sorry! I would've told you. :-)

#39 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:24pm by polishswede

#12 - When did OP say they were a female?

#40 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:26pm by alex_vik

The OP has a twin sister, so I'm guessing #12 assumed identical.

#126 - On 03/13/2010 at 3:04pm by PhoenixFiend

This isn't an FML. You said this is a prank war, so you've been going back and forth, right? So? Get her back.

#41 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:31pm by xolotl

i don't think that's funny, i think thats terrible. shes deaf. i feel sorry for her

#42 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:33pm by Tuxedo_Mask

Even though it isn't really an fml I'm still glad you posted it because that is pretty funny
assuming that because of the prank war you have a good enough sense of humor to laugh at the situation although it is pretty messed up but hey you can get away with that stuff toward your family...

#43 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:41pm by thatoneguyyoumet

Are you the same deaf guy who signed to this sister about the lady in the elevator having a "fine ass" and then it turned out she could also sign? Lol

#44 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:10pm by blacklagoon

Oh, God. That's great. XD

#45 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:15pm by burdenofaday

Alrighty #12 - I'm not a chick.

And #16 the bell was a little smaller than a dime and hidden within a large ball of yarn at the base of the tassel.

And for everyone one else, trust me, she'll be getting hers eventually and revenge will be sweet.

#46 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:21pm by hipprep83

...That's a good one XD

#47 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:29pm by katzgoboom

I think that's kinda cute. Definitely not an fml though.

#48 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:30pm by InsaneOblongata

Get multiple alarm clocks (watches, cell phones, etc), and hide them all over her room. Set them to go off within three minutes of each other, at any early hour of the morning X D

#49 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:57pm by x3_LaLa_3x

It's kind of harsh to play that kind of joke on a deaf person... but then again you asked for it because it IS a prank war, you should of expected the most.

#50 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:03pm by EffYourLyf

#12 that was a bit creepy.

Get her back ten times worse than she got you..

#51 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:09pm by jayhawk63

i'd probably post her diary on myspace or something.
get her back hardcore.

#52 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:27pm by jaixxnoelle

lmao. that's genius on her part. now you need get her back twice as good >:)

#53 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:58pm by justjayit

XD That's priceless...now get her back and fight as dirty as she did! I know the PC thing to do was to say "Awww, that's horrible to do to a deaf person", but since she's your sister I think it's hysterical. As long as you have a sense of humor.

#54 - On 03/20/2009 at 10:36pm by KerlyFries

Sew bells into all of her underwear. And I mean several bells in each so she will have a jingle butt wherever she goes. Unless she wants to take the time to take them all out, which could make her run late. It's a win-win.

#55 - On 03/20/2009 at 10:40pm by Sammara

hahaha wow thats horrible...
totally exploiting her sister's disability
you def have to get her back.

#56 - On 03/20/2009 at 10:56pm by theoldGP

lol #23

#57 - On 03/20/2009 at 11:46pm by ghadir

so when you put on the hat you didnt notice a bell tied onto it?

#58 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:02am by TheAntiComment

I think you had it coming....but hey, as long as it's a friendly prank war, it's good. Awesome when you love someone enough to really get them good.

I'd suggest doing something that ties into your deafness....if you live with her, bug the house (or just her room if you have parents) with something that makes a noise she hates. Get a lot of them and put them everywhere. Like, crickets or something, only more annoying. When she asks if you can hear it, well, you can't, so she's SOL.

#59 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:02am by lunchmeat317

#40 unless the "TWiN" is a fraternal twin. it will have the same sex. Female twin means female poster.
#51 how is complimenting someone creepy?
#46 ah ok. you did not specify with the twin. twins are usually same sex unless fraternal.

#60 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:10am by AliSama

hahah at least you and your sister have a good enough relationship for her to do that to you knowing that you're deaf. i think that if it actually did make you mad legitimately, you wouldn't be posting on FML.

#61 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:37am by x3cristinaaaa

#60, you know how you can't tell how somebody would say something over the internet? yeah, that. also I think the wink did it for me.

#62 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:58am by jayhawk63

hee hee i like this story.

#63 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:06am by agentasuka

It's so simple.. yet brilliant!

#64 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:45am by zebendyone

Didn't this get posted?

#65 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:46am by Capybara

thats really mean of her =[

#66 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:58am by duhitzisabel

you would have noticed if you took off your hat...even if you are deaf...i'm calling bs

#67 - On 03/21/2009 at 2:04am by mixtape13

hahahha that's great, now you have an excuse to get her back

#68 - On 03/21/2009 at 2:19am by TurtleLG

that's kind of cute hahaha

#69 - On 03/21/2009 at 2:21am by xxxeelaa

to expand on what #55 said - buy a bunch of little bells. You can buy them at crafting stores in packets of 20, dirt-cheap. Buy dozens and put them everywhere: sew them in her clothes, drop them in her bags and shoes, sprinkle them along her bookshelves, put then into her desk drawers, drop a couple in her shampoo bottle, etc. Be creative. When she starts to go mad from the tinkly little sounds, calmly point out that since you're deaf, the noise doesn't bother you.

I once pranked my little brother by buying a bunch of googly-eyes and pasting them all over his stuff. Then I added notes like, "I'm watching you. God is watching you. The neighbors are watching you" and so on.

#70 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:21am by Emika

hahahahahaha awwwwes.
thats actually kind of cute.
actually it is really messed up... in its own clever, adorable kind of way?

#71 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:29am by ladedum

is this renee? sounds like something you and janey would do?
if not then freaky!

#72 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:57am by shellie

uhhh, sweet, whats wrong with that? how do you know what a bell sounds like if your deaf?

#73 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:57am by nwrunner07

That has nothing to do with the FML.
He didn't say anything about the sound.

#118 - On 08/05/2009 at 9:17pm by 4lw4yzl0n3ly

@73
she doesnt have to know the sound it makes to know that it makes noise
stop wasting your time trying to find fakes and enjoy the posts

to OP

you may have lost the battle but you can still win the war

#74 - On 03/21/2009 at 4:39am by commonsense

Weeeell... If you're involved in a prank war, you should expect anything, so I don't really agree this is an FML. Just get back at her! :D

#75 - On 03/21/2009 at 5:00am by camis

It wouldn't have been hilarious if you hadn't compared yourself to an elf. Go get your sister back! Do something that makes her look like a hobbit or a gremlin or an oompa-loompa.

#76 - On 03/21/2009 at 5:14am by gqduck

HAHA I'm sorry to be insensitive but that's hilarious.

#77 - On 03/21/2009 at 9:10am by aaa919

Cute! :D))

#78 - On 03/21/2009 at 10:39am by suckmybrain

Maybe I'm an asshole, but that's actually pretty funny. I'd laugh if it were me, anyway.

#79 - On 03/21/2009 at 10:58am by bigrederin

That's a bitch sister right there.

#80 - On 03/21/2009 at 12:47pm by pencilmustache

wtf is your twin sister's problem? wow they are little bitches D: u seriously should get them back.

#81 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:13pm by theatoz

That's the funniest FML i've read.

#82 - On 03/21/2009 at 1:59pm by kwijiborjt

I feel bad about how funny I think this is.

#83 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:06pm by shortysmalls

All is fair in prank wars

#84 - On 03/21/2009 at 3:13pm by 007phantom

# 12...
what the fawk......

#85 - On 03/21/2009 at 5:25pm by nisey

#73 - you can go deaf you don't have to be born deaf.

#86 - On 03/21/2009 at 9:02pm by shellie

#87 - On 03/21/2009 at 9:14pm by Kira

lols! wow, i actually think that'd be kinda cute xD
well, that is if you're a female....

if not, then, yeah that sucks for you ..

#88 - On 03/21/2009 at 10:07pm by soozin

Get her back, i'm a twin too so my advice would be to put a shopping tag in her bag and when you go shopping she'll beep constantly. Its even funnier if she's also deaf

#89 - On 03/21/2009 at 11:23pm by audiodash

Wouldn't you see the bell?

#90 - On 03/22/2009 at 12:22am by randomegirl

#12 - thats so cute!

#91 - On 03/22/2009 at 4:26am by CharLotte_23

Awww. Pranks can be funny sometimes, but this is just wrong. I'm deaf in one ear, and I would be so offended if something like this happened to me.

#92 - On 03/22/2009 at 5:52am by OhSoFoxy

HAHAHA

#93 - On 03/22/2009 at 2:39pm by trixr4kids

ahah aww.

i know how you feel, im deaf too.

#94 - On 03/22/2009 at 9:24pm by MaggieErrfquake1

#95 - On 03/22/2009 at 10:26pm by fyasko124

#98 - On 03/23/2009 at 5:08pm by _degaussed

I'm not gonna lie, that's kind of brilliant. simple, but brilliant. You'll get her back :P

#99 - On 03/23/2009 at 10:30pm by Ibeapirate

aaaaaaaaaaaahahahha

#100 - On 03/24/2009 at 12:13am by bizzybuzzy

i kinda stopped laughing when i read the deaf part :(

#101 - On 03/24/2009 at 12:37pm by YAJi

you should turn the volume on her ipod to the highest

#102 - On 03/24/2009 at 5:34pm by N0Luck

thats horrible!!!

#103 - On 03/25/2009 at 1:22am by twitch26

how did you not see it??

#104 - On 03/25/2009 at 6:55pm by summer66

That's sad.

#105 - On 03/28/2009 at 1:42pm by Vehicle

I feel bad for laughing at this...

#106 - On 04/17/2009 at 6:37pm by lolurscrewed

What? I couldn't hear you...

#107 - On 04/17/2009 at 11:50pm by evanwilliams

LMAO omg ! you gotta laugh about things like that.. aw ... I think I like peed when I read that ...my all time favorite

#108 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:12pm by ughwhatever

What pranks did you pull?

#109 - On 04/28/2009 at 2:10pm by lensflare

lolol That's so sweet

#110 - On 04/28/2009 at 9:34pm by KevlarEagle

im gonna be honest and said i laughed. but that was also really mean

#111 - On 05/01/2009 at 2:35pm by xymenah

Pwned

#112 - On 06/08/2009 at 10:29pm by godhelpme92

your sister must have thought that was really funny but it is just messed up and who voted ydi he is deaf people

#113 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:13pm by DSuarez94

that's gonna be hard to top. iv wanted to try this, though. put a boluion(sp?) cube in the shower head in her bathroom. wait for a hot shower from her, and enjoy the soup smell.

OR what you can do is take your lights for the doorbell and put like a brighter bulb in hers, then at night ring the doorbell.

I dunno. your sister sounds awesome. I wanna hear all these pranks.

#114 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:27pm by cmac86

oh poor thing! thats horrible...thats not sense of humor, but evil!... =((

#115 - On 06/28/2009 at 10:21pm by jackpaice

Like others said, since her prank worked because you were deaf, get one that works because she can hear, such as a shitload of alarm clocks hidden in her room, set to go off in 3 minute intervals.

#116 - On 07/15/2009 at 12:05pm by jahwn

Take a long, narrow potato (one that will fit well into an exhaust pipe) and drill a hole in it long ways. Then rig a whistle in one end or find one of those long, thin whistles and stick it in the potato hole. Potato goes in the tailpipe. When the victim gets in the car and starts it up they'll wonder where the hell that noise is coming from. the noise wont bother you at all =]
or you can buy an autopipe whistle at a gag store

#119 - On 08/16/2009 at 10:58am by blink_182_xo

Well i don't find that most of these people are sitting here thinking about the actual FML rather than arguing back and forth between each-other over their opinions. (therefore, making this a contradictory comment.) i think it was clever and funny, depending upon the age of you two. If you're older it's easier to understand the humor. Kids can be cruel either way, but i respect the good judgement on your part. As long as you know your sister is kidding, this could end up being a great prank-war, and, to top it off, even if it's 'just a prank war,' they too can be FML moments. Get her back as you said you would but be clever.

#120 - On 08/21/2009 at 8:45pm by breeding_real

LMFAO!!!! oh man that is priceless, i say thats fair play though! i mean no offence but she is using your weaknesses against you really well, you had better get her back good!! Lol gotta love sibling rivalry!!

#121 - On 09/03/2009 at 6:04am by take_a_moment

Lmao.
Thats amazing.
You gotta love pranks :P

#122 - On 09/25/2009 at 1:24pm by BrookDarling

YDI because you were having a prank war. That's hilarious! Do something awesome to her!

#123 - On 11/19/2009 at 9:28pm by Psygod

Why didn't anyone tell you?
Were they all in on it? Go get her back!
Put a mosquito tone in her room!

#124 - On 11/23/2009 at 11:01pm by Kate_Suzy_Anne

that's messed up! payback Time!!!
