Today, someone broke my car's left side mirror. A friend of mine was buying a replacement one and texted me to confirm which one I needed. He asked: "It's the driver's side, right?" To which I replied: "Right". I got the wrong mirror. FML

#11 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:08pm by icertainlysuck

Do you even know what the word pentameter means? By the way, douche, any insult that references someone's mother is not a satisfactory insult. Want a re-do?

Does this happen on a regular basis around here? A chain of trolls all lined up here?

And yes, I am a troll.

Yeah being first is totally cool. I wish someday I can be first and therefore be as cool as icertainlysuck

Do we really need to be getting this nasty over a freaking number? Honestly.

not that bad.!

#2 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:05pm by roarrx88

Not an FML...and who the fuck cares if you're 1st? Get a life.

#3 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:05pm by justdancebbyx3

You're right,
It's not really a FML.
All he has to do is return it and get another one.

#18 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:10pm by where_i_stood

Not all FMLs have to be life-changing. It's funny, that's all that matters. Stop posting this stupid shit in every FML that isn't a huge deal.

#56 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:12pm by Gargananana

the thing about that is it isn't funny.

#57 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:23pm by mister_moops

you care enough to comment on it

#69 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:41pm by mandyreid_

it's not really funny, considering the joke is so over used

#73 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:57pm by the_stereotype

wow sucks, why dont you return it and get the correct one

#4 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:06pm by mich23

This is fake.
He's from the US, so the left side and the driver's side are the same sides..
How can he buy it for the wrong side if he asked correctly, and you responded correctly?

#62 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:01pm by dudeitsdanny

because he responded with the word "right," by which the person buying the car thought he meant that he wanted the mirror on the RIGHT side of the car. get it?

#63 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:04pm by ghostgirll

You're stupid. OP said "Right", so his friend thought it was the "right side".

OP: Next time, just say "yep!"

#66 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:23pm by softbonez

Not my fault the character limit, or the OP's lack of eloquence confused me at first. =)

Return it?
Duh.

Haha, the person who did this to you gets 7 years bad luck now!

#8 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:07pm by Intoxicunt

You undeniably deserve it, dumbass.

#9 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:07pm by blooop

Can't you just replace it? Your friend was doing you a generous favor, instead of you getting off your ass and doing it yourself.

#10 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:08pm by fmlfmlfml15

return or exchange it......?

#12 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:08pm by Jmido

This really, really made me laugh. I do see the FML, though--I hate little confusions like that.

#13 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:08pm by pentameter

wow, you must be easily amused, because this FML sucks.

#53 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:03pm by bellaellaella

You guys do get the double meaning of 'right' in this FML, right? So of course it's an FML.

#14 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:09pm by _Noon_

mwahaha I'm first xD... I think

YDI for having a stupid friend.

#25 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:14pm by teh_dude

The friend probably said "is it the drivers side or the right?" and OP probably heard it wrong and he didnt type it like that because that would have made it sound like his fault.

#40 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:29pm by noName123456

Except his friend texted him, so he didn't mishear it.

#49 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:55pm by englishmuffin

That's pretty funny

#28 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:16pm by FMLreactor

Y.D.I.
why do you have to text things like these?
just pick up the phone and CALL, so you can clarify and you know the other person is really listening
YDI.

#29 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:16pm by lucky0514

Or you can get off your lazy ass and do it yourself ensuring no chance of miscommunication

Come on you had to at least notice that people had already posted their comments when you clicked on this FML

#91 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:23pm by fmlfmlfml15

OMG whatever will you do now? If only there was some way to bring it back with some sort of receipt to get a new one? Man, if only!

What happened to all the good FML's where peoples genitals would get mauled by an animal or someone would get a huge bonus from their job only to find out their house has burned down?

#32 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:19pm by WoolyWhoop

well now you have 2 driver side mirrors ! yay

#33 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:20pm by jc21

CHANDLER BING!!!!!!!!! :D

@OP-- put them both up and make people think you're an undercover cop

#39 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:27pm by mubaki

jc21 you're the one who can get the OP's side mirror oO! actualy the OP got 2 passanger side mirrors, right?

And yes mubaki, jc21 is so clever that he's certainly an undercover cop

#98 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:21am by Ykk

Wow i don't think there's an fml that is lamer than this one

#34 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:23pm by sublime93

why not just buy it yourself? DUH! YDI

#36 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:25pm by slack3r9

"Today, I bought an item similar to the one I wanted, but not quite exactly. I have a receipt, but I can't figure out what to do next. FML" :/

#37 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:26pm by rayrayy

Your point is good, but rewording FMLs is getting old and is really friggin boring. 'K?

#41 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:32pm by meganski

that sucks pretty bad...

#43 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:35pm by KiddNYC10

Learn the word "correct." Also, this isn't an FML. Oh no, you can go get it yourself, or get your friend to return it and get the correct one with the receipt they should have gotten. Boo hoo. Quit whining.

#44 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:39pm by deaditegirl

that's why I never say right. I always say yeah

#47 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:45pm by Ron24

he thought you meant right side because you said right. retard

#50 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:58pm by godsbubblebath

Lol. this is funny because you were saying right, as in he is right about it being the drivers side... but i guess he took the "right" from you as the right side. that sucks, fyl indeed but hopefully it will be fixed. :)

#54 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:06pm by MelanieBerrigan

Im tired of people complaining "oh this isnt an fml you can easily fix it". fmls are supposed funny antecdotes that make you go "haha oh man that sucks". would you rather hear fmls like "today i found out that my daughters remians were found in a ravine and it looks like she was brutally murdered and raped"? nahh,

#55 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:08pm by Caldwell94

^^^ THIS.

#64 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:08pm by trochy

Who would come on to FML to tell everyone that?
The OP says FML because his good friend misunderstood him. I prefer fake FML's that give the impression that the posters life, is indeed, fucked.

#71 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:47pm by WoolyWhoop

YDI ya lazy mofo

#60 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:31pm by xstaticdelta

FALSE!

This is based on a popular "foreign guy getting his driver's license" joke that I've heard oh so many times

#61 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:44pm by GreenDaemon21

how is this person's life fucked?? lame.


raise your standards fml!

#65 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:10pm by mo_the_owl

I'm not sure if returning is an option. My dad's car had the same situation, and since it was a custom piece, it had to be ordered and shipped, and it was a big hassle. It wasn't the wrong piece or anything, but I'm not sure the people would be so willing to take it back. IDK.

And this may be a stretch, but maybe his friend was getting it because OP couldn't drive his car? My dad wouldn't drive his in fear of getting ticketed.

#67 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:26pm by softbonez

I like your picture. You're very good looking.

#72 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:53pm by Triumvirate

Ohh shit hah

#68 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:37pm by shootingstar8D

how is this fml? ok... u got the wrong mirror... so what? you LIFE is not fucked. just get the right one dumbass.

#74 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:13pm by Ickle_kins

amen

#79 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:46pm by mariiax5

Move to the UK then it's the drivers side

#75 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:18pm by SomeRandomGuy18

FMLs like this always show the twits who lack basic reading comprehension. Fun, but at the same time highly depressing...

#76 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:28pm by FPsLife

This is almost the stupidest thing I have ever heard!!

#77 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:29pm by Zoa

YDI for not using the terms 'drivers side' and 'passenger side'. i bet it was YOU who broke your mirror in the first place. get off the road ya idiot!

#78 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:33pm by happyguy123

I think my friends should read this FML. Maybe they can then understand why I send such long text messages to them (in proper English).

#80 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:25pm by 5upernova

i believe "yes" would have been a better choice of wording. YDI

#81 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:29pm by glennabobenna

You should explain. In some places cars driver seat is on the right side. And your friend was nice enough to buy you one. Return it? All solutions.

#83 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:57pm by blah123blah

Was your friend in England? That would explain it.

If the damn brits would start driving on the proper side of the road, we wouldn't have these kinds of problems.

#84 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:06pm by thugbert

haha classic

#85 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:15pm by Caldwell94

YDI for being American & driving on the wrong side of the road.

#86 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:16pm by lo1337a

I disagree. Americans do a lot of stuff wrong (or most stuff), but at least they picked the right side of the road.

#89 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:57pm by aquilo

Dumbass

#87 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:24pm by boredboisereside

Simple mistake, had some humor to it...low-magnitude FYL :)

#88 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:33pm by Chopperman

So just return it.. it's not that big of a deal.

#90 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:05pm by xkitten

Ha, this reminds me of something my Dad did after moving a few years ago. I'd often wondered why people seemed to have so much trouble finding our new house. So one day I listened in when he was relaying some directions over the phone... "Turn left when you get to the stoplight, then take a right at the next stoplight. After that, turn right at the Chevron and you're there." Well, obviously by "right at" he meant simply "at", since there's only one way to turn there... left. So most people would see that they can't turn right and assume there's another Chevron down the road.

#93 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:50pm by izomiac

Thanks for sharing. Now we know where you live.

#97 - On 09/02/2009 at 2:42am by thugbert

LOL FYL.. That's pretty funny

#94 - On 09/02/2009 at 12:19am by epikz

just return the damn thing...

#96 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:40am by leito108

Your fault for having such a dumb friends.

#100 - On 09/02/2009 at 6:30am by Lord_Ashour

too bad youre not in australia since our drivers are on the right hand side

im sure you can exchange it

#101 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:18am by mandy23q

Next time, try saying "correct." That's what I do to avoid such confusion.

#102 - On 09/02/2009 at 8:49am by marissajean42

holy shit, you have to go back to the store and exchange it.... your life is surely fucked, i dont know how you live day to day anymore... i would have killed myself over all the drama of having to exchange shit kause my friend got the wrong one...

you suck

#103 - On 09/02/2009 at 9:12am by c6dragster

haha that sucks

#106 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:23pm by Man_person

Move to England. Problem solved.

#107 - On 09/02/2009 at 2:07pm by JanisEvans

not exactly, dumbass.
the left mirror would still be broken.

#110 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:44pm by monkey2

What a dumbass.

#108 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:44pm by xXMILKYCHUNKSXx

ha ha thats what happens when you one word text people! ugh.

#109 - On 09/02/2009 at 4:48pm by shuu_naay

Y didnt u just say "yes". YDI for being a moron and nawt realizing that :P

#111 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:39pm by dELiA14

he probably always says right it's a habbit. also stop calling him lazy because it's illeagal to drive without a drivers side mirror so he couldn't get it.

#112 - On 09/02/2009 at 11:24pm by readytofall69

YDI for bieng lazy and not going yourself.

#113 - On 09/03/2009 at 6:16pm by lovely_12

Exactly. You could have atleast gone out and looked at your car, or gone yourself idiot.

#114 - On 09/04/2009 at 12:30am by shitbitch

Wait... so did he get the drivers side window or the window for the right side? For that matter, which one did you mean??? Did you mean it's for the side to the right and he thought you meant he was right? Or did you mean he was right and he thought you meant the side to the right??? Or did you just say the wrong side by accident??? This is confusing! @.@

#115 - On 09/05/2009 at 3:19am by Lancer873

he wanted a left window, he got a right one.

#118 - On 10/01/2009 at 7:00pm by jeniilouise

your a dumbshit LOL why would you say "right" ? right after a question that requires an answer such as that ? did it not cross your mind to say "nope passenger side" ? you fail

#117 - On 09/09/2009 at 4:41am by TINFOILKNIGHT

you sir, are a fuckin idiot... you can't say no the right side?
