Seriously?

By chawlay - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to sift through hundreds of pages of legal documents. They were all written in Comic Sans font. FML

comic sans size 14 bold and red is my fav.

haha I just did to and y is it such a big deal?

I meant I checked what comic sans is

167/168 it's a reference to the web comic "Cyanide and Happiness". that's what the big deal is.

look up Papyrus THATS THE SHIT

What would you choose for a legal document instead of Times New Roman or Arial? Helvetica? Seriously.

I don't get it. what's the big deal?

iknowimawesome 13

yes. you are the only one.

Okay, I had to go look up this 'cyanide and happiness' thing, since so many of you apparently like it... Maybe it's just me, but..... is it supposed to be funny or something?

BCrazzi 9

No no, it's COMIC SAAAAAAAAANS!!!! Not COMIC SANS!! ppl these days...

Helen Keller would have loved to go through those documents. You'll live

Sorry #4, Max has a soft spot in his heart for 6-year-olds, apparently.

what the hell is wrong with that? they'll make them look unprofessional maybe. but they would ALSO be easier to read.

Not likely, many 6 year olds have not had the worldly experience or patience to write any legal documents, let alone hundreds of pages of them. However there is not valid evidence to rule six year olds out the question. At first glance I would guess the writer to be at least 30 years of age. Likely a "man child" as I like to refer to them.

how about an extremely gifted 6 year old? einstein jr!!!!

...comic sans is probably the coolest font ever

Einstein was of average intelligence until he got bored of his patent office job and decided to learn physics and calculus in his breaks. He was not any smarter than you or I.

Wtf?!?! This isn't even an FML! "Oh, it's written I'm Comic Sans, FML"

At least it's not the wingding font!

Or that font that is just square zeros. [][][][][] [][][] [][][] [][][][][]. I used barracks for the zeros. 8)

22, I think you mean brackets, not a place for garrisoning troops.

33 well I didn't know. They say you learn something new everyday... I doubt that is true because I don't but today I did. 8)

A7X_LoVeee 10

That's the best font and one of the easiest to read!

let's all thumb #85 down for his trollin'!

95 nah I rather thumbs down yours... oh look, I did. 8)

A7X_LoVeee 10

Oh that went well 95. LOL JK.

33- you don't know the difference between barracks and brackets? dear god...

22 - Isn't that for Asian characters or something else?

131- ever thought it was a spelling mistake?

Was it legal documents for a lemonade stand?

Comic Sans isn't hard to read. Are you saying they look unprofessional? They could've used wingdings. :D

I think, as somebody who may deal with hordes of legal documents, he is saying that it irritates him to see the unprofessional font over and over again.

#52 has the right idea. It's like if a female lawyer showed up in court wearing an extremely low-cut shirt, short skirt, tons of make-up, and hooker heels. That outfit may be acceptable in other places, but not in her particular field. Unwritten rules and "professional" practices are part of what you sign up for. So you follow them unless you want to be thought less of by your peers.

71 she would also probably win her case dressed like that.

#73, or get kicked out by the judge and written about in a national paper. It's happened.

if Casey Anthony had a lawyer like that the case would have been much more entertaining

in Winnipeg, that kinda happened, but the result was the judge being disbarred for soliciting a three-way with the defendant. I can't even make this shit up!

You're only 6 years off. Good try though, buddy. Also, it's called sarcasm. Chill.

Now I wanna know what #9 said!!

you are so dumb. and you look even more retarded correcting someone when you spell criticizing*** wrong. you are one huge epic fail. Go away.

116 Don't be so ignorant you look like a total ass. People in the uk spell criticise with a 's'. You're welcome.

I don't know by, but on my computer it said "9" not "11". So I just did "9-6=3". How did the 9 get changed to an 11 all of the sudden. I'm really confused now.

CaligurlLULU 0

actually, it did say 11. she said " I'm guessing you're an 11 year old?" so yeah 11 - 6 = 5

Oh the irony. He made the switch to binary, but his message reads otherwise. 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110011 01110100 00100000 01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01000111 01100001 01101101 01100101 ;)

Damn Comic Sans MS! I think that font is so bad that the use of it should be voted on in every country.

The thumbs are per comment, not per commentor. Don't hate.
