Today, I took a smoke break at work and I noticed a huge zit on my face. I used the reflection from a window to take care of the problem and then realized that there was a staff meeting taking place on the other side. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5289) - you totally deserved it (19175)

Exactly.. then maybe the comments would actually be relevant to the post!

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Don't be stupid, smoking is fecking wonderful and everyone should do it. Don't force your silly morals down people's throats. Smoking is their choice, and you shouldn't judge, it's rude.

Everyone should do it? Yeah and then we can all get cancer, diabetes mellitus type II, COPD, CAD and a bunch of other fun diseases! Whooo how awesome would that be?
#26 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:30am by fireandice27
sarcasm? heard of it?
I just think it's wrong to judge, people smoke because they want to. Oh, and if you smoke, it doesn't DEFINITELY mean you'll die.
#27 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:35am by lauralatch
Nope, but it SIGNIFICANTLY increases your risk of developing chronic diseases. Anyone who pretends otherwise is fooling themselves.
#28 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:41am by fireandice27
yeah, and it's their choice, maybe people who smoke like a gamble. My 82 year old grandmother has smoked all her life, she had one lung due to tuberculosis. She passed away recently due to old age, I know more people like that, than have died of cancer/other. I don't smoke, but I'm not going to judge someone if they do, their choice, if they want to die sooner, their problem, not mine.
#29 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:45am by lauralatch
Sorry, it's an issue close to my heart. I watched my grandmother die of emphysema. I spend a lot of my time learning about the harmful effects of smoking and being trained how to get people to quit smoking, and actually trying to get people to quit smoking! It's so hard to watch someone dying or developing chronic diseases and being unwilling make a lifestyle choice that will benefit them. If I had the attitude that they could smoke if they wanted too, I'd be a pretty pathetic med student, and an even worse doctor when I graduate. I don't have the luxury of sitting back on the fence.
#30 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:51am by fireandice27
That makes sense, I can see your point, but I'm not one to judge is all :) I helped my dad quit smoking, because my mum hated it :)
#31 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:52am by lauralatch
Lung cancer (more so, the treatment) is fucking HELL. Even though my mom never smoked, it developed and she died two months ago. If smokers accept the risk, fine. But I won't ever understand why.
#51 - On 10/23/2009 at 7:47pm by lifeislife
darn, i was going to say in before everybody says ydi for smoking or some shit like that, too late
#3 - On 10/23/2009 at 1:38am by mister_moops
Who pops zits in public anyway? That's just as disgusting as smoking
#5 - On 10/23/2009 at 1:39am by pancakes_n_syrup
Ewww your right. Who even pops their pimples at work?!?! And your a smoker! How nasty....
#7 - On 10/23/2009 at 1:45am by iluvpandas
A pimple-popping, ashy-breathed man.
I bet you get all the ladies.
#9 - On 10/23/2009 at 1:51am by dudeitsdanny
Let's see how many people say you deserve it for smoking.
#13 - On 10/23/2009 at 2:04am by Tubasaurus
if you knew they were there why did you do it? I would assume that if you eventually saw them then you should have been able to see them in the first place...it just sounds fishy to me...
As you squeezed it off, someone in the staff meeting squeezed a mayonnaise packet onto a sandwich, and everyone in the room threw up.
It's a good thing the staff was protected by a window when you popped your pimple and splattered pus on the glass!
#18 - On 10/23/2009 at 3:18am by Witchcraft
if you feel the need to pop zits at work, you should probably do it in the bathroom.
#21 - On 10/23/2009 at 3:50am by asafetybuzz
welcome to the real world, judging people exists, you might wanna learn to deal with it cos it aint gonna go away.
and mind your own business? thats just fucking stupid. i understand that youve gotta be slightly daft to complain about people hating smokers but theres no need to go for a record here.
#35 - On 10/23/2009 at 9:34am by organisedchaos
I just want to say a big thank you to Lauralatch for not judging smokers. I am a smoker and I am also an asthmatic. and yes that's right it IS my problem. and not anyone elses. in regards to the fml, I voted FYL cuz sometimes u just don't realise there's ppl on the other side when ur checking urself out.
Well to be honest, it kind of is other people's problem. I also have asthma and just so much as walking past people who are smoking has been enough to trigger an asthma attack for me. I also know many kids who have been affected by passive smoking - it is unbelievably sad. And if you'd care to read my comments carefully, you'd see that I was not judging anyone who smoked, I was merely pointing out the harmful effects of smoking and indicating that it was in people's best interest to quit.
#37 - On 10/23/2009 at 10:09am by fireandice27
fireandice27: Sure you're writing educational and informative posts... but no-one on FML comes here to be lectured about how they're doing something bad.
You're an idiot for thinking that this was the place to talk about that. And a moron for thinking you on some high horse riding around specifically to educate people who have made their decision. EVERYONE knows smoking is harmful, but it's a personal choice. It's not one that I personally approve of, but I don't go around telling strangers that they're horrible people because they smoke.
In terms of the FML I still say YDI though... cause why would you use the reflection in a window? O_o
#49 - On 10/23/2009 at 5:21pm by Workerbee72
Well it started off as a sarcastic/humourous post, but then someone started to argue with me so naturally I argued back.
#55 - On 10/24/2009 at 3:27am by fireandice27
YDI for POPPING A PIMPLE.
IN PUBLIC.
I hope you enjoy our embarassment, as well as your post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/ possible permanent scars.
Today, I poped a zit while standing on the sidewalk out side an empty building. A bunch of people still say and started to projectile vomit all over. I am an idiot because I do things in public that should be done in private.FML whoever wrote this is flat out stupid, if you are gonna do it at work at least put out you cig and do it in the bathroom.
#39 - On 10/23/2009 at 11:01am by McBadAss
What the fuck!!! I don't need a comment thread on an FML to learn about the harmful effects of smoking or whether or not it's right to judge people. Everyone is taught these things during life. Choosing to use that knowledge is up to them. There, discussion over you dumb twats.
Now, did anyone else actually appreciate the humor of this FML? Fucking hilarious...
1 that is disgusting
2 YDI for smoking. its bad for yourself. but if you don't care, then quit for the people around you, im allerigic to cigarette smoke and i can't stand it when people smoke around me, but they do it anyway
3 YDI, think about what you just said 'i used the reflection from a WINDOW' are you an idiot? did it occur to you that that window would lead to a room where people would be?
4 youre a dumbass
If we stopped doing stuff because it was unhealthy, we'd never have any fun!
If you don't like it when people smoke around you, there's these things called "legs" USE 'EM!
Dude, I'm tired of the people on FML. This place isn't to criticize others, it's just to laugh!
#45 - On 10/23/2009 at 12:22pm by 1234PIE43215
#45 nailed it. lol's its for laugh and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. not negative bs. ...retards...and
haha thats funny :P
#46 - On 10/23/2009 at 12:30pm by bsias4ever
smoking is BAD! you take away 12
minutes of your life eveytime you smoke
#50 - On 10/23/2009 at 5:51pm by blackberry1993
FML has turned into an unfunny whore house filled with politics...
#52 - On 10/24/2009 at 12:32am by I_piss_red_bull
What the fuck does her having a zit and covering it up in front of a meeting have ANYTHING to do with her smoking, you dumbass twits! That part was insignificant. MOVE ON!
#53 - On 10/24/2009 at 12:53am by Rainbow_Skittles
like I said before all yall retards need not to worry what other people do..if they wanna smoke they can...get over it!
#56 - On 10/24/2009 at 4:05am by jngurley01
haha that's hilarious. i work at a restaurant and one day when i was a host these 3 ladies left and were talking at the front door. they all then took turns reapplying their lipstick and checking themselves out in the reflection in the windows of the front door. people don't always realize there are people watching you and laughing from the other side of the windows i guess....
if the FML said "i found out i have lung cancer cos i smoke" then you could say YDI for smoking. otherwise, get over it. if you hate smoking so much, instead of making that arrogant little cough when you see a smoker, go somewhere else. Everyone is aware of how bad smoking is for you. If someone posts an FML about eating McDonalds, does everyone start commenting about how bad the effects are of high fat and sodium content in food is? no. move on.
#59 - On 10/25/2009 at 2:51am by rosieposie1
you should not smoke unless your a porn star fluffer or street hooker. besides cigarette butts have a 928 year half life.
#60 - On 10/25/2009 at 5:38pm by ladiesman14
we all get it, smoking is bad. every pack of cigarettes has a warning on them- it's not a secret. but let me ask this.. how many bags of chips have you consumed in your life time? unhealthy foods boosted full of sodium and preservatives that can lead to diabetes and serious heart conditions. remember that most things in world can, and most likely will kill you (even some toothpaste has recently been recalled due to toxic ingredients).
ps. it is true that cigarette buts are not biodegratable, and really don't even have a half life since they will never break down fully. however, they are not the only form of potential litter that will still be intacted in years. things that are terribly common such as: plastic grocery bags, polystyrene products (take-out containers) and several types of metal.
#61 - On 10/25/2009 at 11:13pm by kdie
cant u just take statins, ace inhibitors, and metformin to fix food related diseases. at least fatties throw their trash away. smokers just flick their nasty butts everywhere.
#62 - On 10/26/2009 at 1:32am by ladiesman14
what i'm saying is people make the choice to eat food that is extremely bad for you, and they aren't persecuted by keyboard warriors like yourself. Who cares if somebody smokes.
#63 - On 10/26/2009 at 9:37pm by rosieposie1
... Hm. This confuses me. Isn't smoking a FYL, not a YDI? :/ idk.
Well, anyway. For the FML - YDI totally. You must've popped that zit pretty openly for all those people on the inside to see, huh?
And as for the people saying YDI for smoking - if you think about it, they're actually sort of right this time. Doesn't smoking cause you to get more acne? Maybe if he didn't, he wouldn't have had that pimple in the first place. xD
Just a thought. :P
#64 - On 10/27/2009 at 5:26pm by purpleindigo
eating shit food gives you pimples. hormones give you pimples. stress gives you pimples. theres a myriad of things that give you pimples. if anything, its YDI because they popped a pimple in a public place. not becuse they smoke.
