Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, I texted someone and typed, "lol". My boyfriend asked me why I put "lol". I told him because I thought it was funny. He looked at me weird and said, "But you didn't laugh." Now he thinks I'm weird because I didn't actually laugh out loud. FML
Today, my coworker keeps loudly saying things like, "Oh, now THIS!" If I don't ask, "What?" she pouts. If I do ask, she tells me, at length and with very bad grammar, how every one of our colleagues and partners is either stupid, rude or out to get her. FML
Today, I was on a work call when my coworker made an accidental Freudian slip. Thinking I was muted, I muttered, "That’s what she said." I wasn’t muted. FML
Today, I yet again heard a friend say "YOLO" as if it's a word. It was so annoying that I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face and offering him the chance to suck on one of my turds, since apparently "YOLO." FML
Today, my boss walked in and said something I didn't quite hear, but my co-worker chuckled so to be polite, I laughed with him. They gave me some weird looks. My boss was actually talking about his wife's tumor and my co-worker was coughing. FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I tried to compliment a coworker on her new haircut, saying, “Wow, it makes you look so much younger!” She raised an eyebrow and replied, “You mean I looked old before?” My brain short-circuited and I followed up with, “No, no, you just… looked older.” Everyone within earshot laughed while I wanted to crawl under the desk. FML
Today, I mistakenly sent a voice message to my boss while imitating him in a comical way. The message contained my spot-on impression, complete with exaggerated jargon and phrases he frequently uses. I didn't realize it until I received a reply saying, "LOL, nailed it!" FML
Today, I was asleep and snored so loud that I woke myself up. I was at work and I am now the laughing stock of the office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Number 14, that is one of the finest puns I've ever seen relating specifically to the FML. *claps politely*

Key word is "young."

to get a job the coworker must be atleast over 16

I'm finding it hard not to respond with something violent. I might have done what 15 suggest and beaten him with a dictionary. sorry 15 embellished a bit.
Zimmington 21
He/she doesn't even know slang correctly because some Hipsters do pronounce it "Lawl" Annoying as hell but it happens...

#75 - Depends where you live. I got my first part time job when I was 13.

I'm "young" and I know the difference!
Never_Forget_Me_fml 1
@101 I have said "Lawl" for like 2 years.... and I am not hipster....

No, I just ran through a sprinkler. I need something to dry off with and something to catch the next spaceship flying by.

It's times like these I can see why humans rank third in intelligence next to dolphins and pandimensional mice.

It's people like her that make my generation look uneducated.
IGaveRickUp 15
Where is it stated that it's a woman who says that?
wallandpiece 16
Yeah cause it's only girls who make stupid remarks.
w_introuble 25
I had a feeling it was a male colleague who said that, but it doesn't matter anyway, female or male, it's ridiculous! Can't believe some people. OP hope you educated that kid and hopefully in future they'll refrain from correcting someone without any knowledge about it.

Just because you got the impression, doesn't mean it's correct. It means you guys are stereotyping.
iknowiwantyou 13
"snooty" is usually associated with women or gay men. just saying.
JoeyJaws68 18
You are on of those people for automatically assuming that its a girl.
iknowiwantyou 13
86, what? come back after you've learned how to spell. Or AT LEAST turn on your autocorrect.

#87 You're just trying to be a jerk, he simply missed the letter 'e' in 'one'.
Zimmington 21
98- But... isn't making fun of people the point of FML?
ManInTheMachine 19
You know what pisses me off more than people who make no effort to spell or use proper English? People who nitpick at small mistakes. Seriously, do you have nothing better to do? And #30, relax. Nobody is saying only girls make stupid mistakes. All they said is that's the impression they got from the FML. Does it even matter? The comment was stupid regardless of what gender said it. Can't we all just get along?

I think the word snooty is what gives the impression that it was a female coworker. I've never heard someone refer to a guy as snooty, they're more inclined to use the word douchey. I could be wrong, of course.
Futacy 29
Seriously guys, who gives a shit?
KeShahontas 1
Why does that mean that I need to get out more? You're argument is irrevalant.

I think the point 3 is trying to make is that the young co-worker makes our generation look uneducated, regardless of gender
feven 32
Yeah we're ****** :( I feel like I'm becoming sucked into it too. Every time I see # I think hashtag... not numbers. This is only the beginning... only the beginning.
bwinski 19
I agree with 103. this "gender war" and automatically saying someone is racist/sexist/something-ist is why our generation sucks. this PC BS needs to end. whatever happened to people saying what they think/feel? no wonder our generation has so many depression issues and is socially awkward. we can't express ourselves the way we should because the slightest thing might offend someone.

Who would say "There's a lol in business today" anyways? He/she needs to think before they talk..
BillMurray_fml 12
There's lots of crap that goes on at my work that makes me lol, so it wouldn't be THAT much if a stretch for me to say that...if I were one of those poor mindless drones who say "lol" in conversation because they've lost the ability to laugh.
thehumanlyhuman 7
Well Bill Murray, I'd say you have had a lot of crazy stuff going on in your work, considering you died in Zombieland but here you are. Care to explain that?!
RainbowShine_fml 18
since he didn't know what 'lull' means, I think we can assume that his grammatical skills aren't very high either.
BillMurray_fml 12
Well #37, I had a nice chat with the guy who runs things up there, and apparently there's a lot of people who are stuck wandering around down here. He sent me back to catch them and send them on their way...he mentioned something about "not crossing streams" but I'm not sure what he meant by that!

I think that coworker of yours may have fried their brain from texting too many acronyms rather than words
AntiPrude 26
YDI for not respecting the lols.

You are the coworker aren't you???

Embarrass them. Them lol in their face.

I hope you stared straight at her with a blank expression and then backhanded her.

Same with me.

A third time it is agreed upon!

Embarrass them. Then lol in their face.
