Today, I found out I will not be getting my class ring. The jeweler has a policy against doing engravings that contain "obscene or offensive language or phrases". What obscene phrase did I want? My initials and year. W.T.F. 2010. FML
I agree, your life sucks (25264) - you totally deserved it (1340)

(+1)Yeah, just because of a class ring... I think its funny. Just call and complain? Hopefully they will understand
#46 - On 11/18/2009 at 7:17pm by Sun_Kissed18
(+2)That is funny but it's not really a big deal...I mean your life isn't fucked now that you can't get a class ring.
(-2)why did you want a ring? it's a waste of money ... you wear it once then put it away for safe keeping ... which is why I didn't waste the money on one
#7 - On 11/18/2009 at 5:20pm by No_fyl_cuz_ydi
(-2)YDI for wanting a class ring.
I bet you're one of those kids that will cherish high school as the best years of your life, huh? I mean, I had fun in high school but college is WAAAAYYY more fun.

(0)Um...colleges have 'class rings' as well, you know. At least, I know the ones around where I'm at do.

(0)@#7 I wear my class rings almost every day and I've had it for over 2 years.

(+1)How often do you use the decoder??
You do realize, the ring exposes you as a dork.. don't you?!??
(0)@106 you need to reevaluate your life. youre calling someone a dork based on an accessory. thats fucking sad man.

(-3)Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Uh, go to a different jeweler. FML for wasting my time reading this crap.
(+6)FYL for also wasting your time replying to this "crap." good job.
#27 - On 11/18/2009 at 5:56pm by asafetybuzz
(+1)This is not an FML at all. You have the coolest initials ever. Unless somebody out there is named like, Fiona Marie Little. So that part is awesome. Also, class rings aren't the only thing in the world that matter. They're overpriced, with what they were trying to charge for ours, I could have made a damn rent payment.

(0)I bet school could have /affected/ your ability to differentiate between affect and effect.
#56 - On 11/18/2009 at 8:02pm by HookEmTexas07
(0)While I agree that the OP should know the difference between affect and effect keep in mind that now days most schools do a one week review to cover issues like grammar and correct usage of words (always beginning with the easy shit you learned in first grade). Then they give the kids a test and don't talk about it again for one year.
They are dumb because teachers treat them like they cannot be expected to retain any kind of knowledge for more than a few days.
And OP, just make your mom call and bitch about it. Crazy parents almost always get their way.
#102 - On 11/19/2009 at 7:33am by WTFsGoingOn
(+1)Just get W.F on it.
Can anyone explain the class ring concept to me? I'm in U.K and I don't think people tend to get them here.
#15 - On 11/18/2009 at 5:34pm by MoradoJess
(+1)A class ring is a ring you can buy in high school. To relate back to the OP it usually has your class year and initials engraved on the inside.
I don't know of all high schools do but at mine you could customize it (the stone would generally be your birthstone. if you were in band you'd probably have a little instrument put on it for example)
They tend to not do class rings in college (though a few have picked it up). Texas A&M University (i'm a alumni) is VERY big on class rings and you generally don't take it off...ever..it's a global identifier for Aggies. I've even heard of two Aggies noticing one another's rings from across a bar..in London...
They even have 'ring dunking' (where you get a pitcher of beer and you drink to get your ring at the bottom...The university doesn't condone this but it is such a big thing even the stores carry pitchers specifically for this purpose).
(0)Oh you silly Aggies and your traditions. Thanksgiving day's only a week away! You ready to lose?! :D
#57 - On 11/18/2009 at 8:04pm by HookEmTexas07
(0)We probably will get our butts kicked by you thanks to Fran demolishing our once excellent team. *sigh* How's your team doing this year?
(0)Oh not too bad. We're number three in the nation and 10-0 so I guess that makes us alright...
#115 - On 11/19/2009 at 5:01pm by HookEmTexas07
(+1)It need to know your name now. xD
What is it? Willian Timothy Franco?
I dunno, just a name I thought up of...
#18 - On 11/18/2009 at 5:37pm by LegndNikko
(+2)Show the asshole your drivers license to confirm your information. Or Fuck him, order one from Jostens.
(+1)omg sooo funny! my initials are S.T.L so it swears in french XD

Really? and... what does STL means? Cause I'm french, and I don't know!
#32 - On 11/18/2009 at 6:17pm by JaneDoe_71 (FML Staff)
(+3)it could be worse- my friend's initial's are KKK. how his parents didn't realize that when they named him is beyond me...
(+3)2010 is NASTY!
It means 2 threesomes each with two fat girls (the 0's) on one skinny guy (the 1).
I'm surprised you didn't get arrested on the spot!
(+1)Because 0 stands for vagina and 1 stands for penis, of course?
#59 - On 11/18/2009 at 8:12pm by myfriend_youfail
(+1)riku,
Because when I was a freshman in high school, one of my classmates who was a really skinny guy was poached by a big, fat senior girl. I said when they walked down the hall, they looked like the number 10. It became a classic among my classmates! This is why, in my mind, "0" means Carol C., aka Porky and "1" is Doug M. Therefore, that's why it is what I say it is.
You may like to think differently, but that decades-old visual is still stuck in my head.
(+1)I got kris, which is a really cool dagger and curse, which is well... A curse.
Pronounce it as kris. Awesome dagger.
(+1)hey my initials are G.T.A.S., i have the longest name in school because i have two middle names...
#43 - On 11/18/2009 at 7:12pm by lifesfailure
(0)FYL, is there not another ring manufacturer trolling about your school, recruiting grads to buy their ridiculously overpriced keepsakes? At my high school they are just swarming about. Grad 2010, ftw.
(0)Grad2010 this situation is easily fixable.
1) Go to another Jeweler
or
2) Show him your passport or your ID
(+4)Dude.. I order my ring and it had the Initial of A.S.S My Initial are A.J.S What the hell happened..
(0)Just be WF or Your full name, or spell out your first (Lets say your name is William Thomas Fernn, have William Tom Fernn, Will Thomas Fernn, William TF, Will Fernn...ETC.)
(0)i bet on some level you wanted your class ring to say wtf on it. It's possible to write out your name you should have just done that
#68 - On 11/18/2009 at 9:21pm by socrkeeper001
(0)haha nice :P I luv tht its so hillariouse :P but maybe you should stick to only ur first and last initials from now on
#70 - On 11/18/2009 at 9:33pm by baby_gurl2405
(0)Hmm...I wonder if Frank M. Lee can get a ring with his initials.
#71 - On 11/18/2009 at 9:33pm by glock17wielder
(+1)hahah that sucks, i got BIG JUICY on the side of my ring.
#75 - On 11/18/2009 at 10:19pm by Stupefied
(+1)Haha what's your name? My Initials are WTF as well. Wade Thomas Ferrari. That's hilarious I've never met someone else with the same initials!
#78 - On 11/18/2009 at 10:35pm by Tarheels131
(+1)Weird...
I got "Fuck me silly until you fucking die" engraved in mine, and the jeweler didn't utter a sound.
Great night, though. We're all going to miss that guy.
#79 - On 11/18/2009 at 10:43pm by Witchcraft
(0)ROFL FYL for having initials like that!
But I wish my initials stood for something though too haha

#81 - On 11/18/2009 at 10:56pm by jazz2dasmith
(0)1) Who the hell gets a class ring? I didn't know anyone who was lame enough to get one.
2) Believe me, once you're out of high school, you'll realize that you don't care about it anymore. It won't matter. High school is not some huge deal. who cares?
3) The only person I've ever seen with a class ring after 1960 was getting his ass kicked at a college party.
4) why wouldn't you just change the initials on the ring to just your first and last? most people don't use their middle initials.
5) fyl for caring.
#85 - On 11/18/2009 at 11:33pm by myownbestfriend
(0)What, really? Nearly everyone in my class, and the class lower, had class rings. My parents and their classmates had them, too (but most of them lost them or put them in storage). My teachers had them, but nobody but the football coaches wore them (lost/storage again).
It's kind of a traditional thing to at least get one. Like... going to prom, getting a senior shirt, being exempt from exams, supervising pep rallies, getting free roam of the halls, exchanging photos, throwing grad caps, etc...
Trivial? Sure, but it doesn't mean people aren't going to do it or aren't allowed to do it.

(0)YAY FOR GRADs OF 2010!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D ...class ring tho..? weird.
#86 - On 11/18/2009 at 11:38pm by xxhellokittyxxx
(+1)Wow, well it could be worse. I had a classmate who's initials were F.A.G for Francine Alice Gorgon.
#87 - On 11/18/2009 at 11:45pm by heartlessagony
(+1)do your initials backwards? FTW instead of WTF? haha :]

#95 - On 11/19/2009 at 1:10am by pppokeyface
(+1)Haha, reminds me of my younger cousin. Her initials are A.S.S.
Her parents thought it'd be hilarious.
I never got my class ring because of FUN TIMES AT HOME OH BOY.
#96 - On 11/19/2009 at 1:20am by DameGreyWulf
(0)Haha. Those are awesome initials. It's unfortunate that your parents are dumbasses though. Not to deprive you of the right to get a class ring if you really want one (how you blow your money is up to you), but it really is a just a frivolity. At least you saved some dough this way.
#98 - On 11/19/2009 at 1:39am by blastvortex
(+1)Good luck becoming a president in the future.... FDR....JFK....WTF?!
#99 - On 11/19/2009 at 2:00am by depechemode
(0)Show the Jewler a copy of your driver's license or something with your name on it. Those are your initials, plain and simple. They shouldn't have a problem with that. IF they do, then ask for a full refund of your money, and take your business elsewhere. IF they give you a hard time after explaining that these are your initials, then file a complaint with the BBB. They love that shit. Don't let them bulldoze you
#103 - On 11/19/2009 at 8:36am by lotusflower007
(0)Who cares? I'd be psyched if those were my initials.
#107 - On 11/19/2009 at 9:59am by risforrrrcuhh
(+1)I read in the book The Survivors Club that your initials can have a big impact on your life. Those whose initials spelled negative words (RAT, BUM, ASS, etc) tend to have a shorter lifespan than those whose initials spelled positive words (ACE, WIN, JOY, etc). If I remember correctly, they also tend to be less successful and less happy than their counterparts.
