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
I agree, your life sucks (8120) - you totally deserved it (26577)

its better than havin some lame ass name like pentameter. And the only thing ill be sucking is your mom's taco

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?
#16 - On 09/01/2009 at 5:09pm by pentameter
Does this happen on a regular basis around here? A chain of trolls all lined up here?
And yes, I am a troll.

Do we really need to be getting this nasty over a freaking number? Honestly.
#116 - On 09/05/2009 at 11:02pm by the_lololagist
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
it's not really funny, considering the joke is so over used
#73 - On 09/01/2009 at 7:57pm by the_stereotype
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!"
Not my fault the character limit, or the OP's lack of eloquence confused me at first. =)
#92 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:38pm by dudeitsdanny
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
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
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
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
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.
Or you can get off your lazy ass and do it yourself ensuring no chance of miscommunication
#52 - On 09/01/2009 at 6:03pm by HoShiz
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
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
"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
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
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
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
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.
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
FMLs like this always show the twits who lack basic reading comprehension. Fun, but at the same time highly depressing...
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).
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.
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
Simple mistake, had some humor to it...low-magnitude FYL :)
#88 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:33pm by Chopperman
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.
too bad youre not in australia since our drivers are on the right hand side
im sure you can exchange it
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
not exactly, dumbass.
the left mirror would still be broken.
#110 - On 09/02/2009 at 7:44pm by monkey2
ha ha thats what happens when you one word text people! ugh.
#109 - On 09/02/2009 at 4:48pm by shuu_naay
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
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! @.@
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?
