Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML

it took you 10 minutes to unplug a laptop? YDI

#2 - On 07/09/2009 at 6:40am by my_fml_account

how could it possibly take 10 minutes? Next time, pull it straight OUT and not sideways. That's the only way I can think of. YDI unless you're 80+ years old, in which case you have an excuse.

#19 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:31am by silvermoonstar3

but still... WHY WERE YOU MAKING SO MUCH NOISE?

YDI

#23 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:07am by applebranch

The lesson is clear, when it takes you ten minutes of rage fuelled pulling to unplug a power cord... Lay off the roids.

#42 - On 07/09/2009 at 2:53pm by Maniacfive

wouldn't u break the pronges on the cord?

#61 - On 02/07/2010 at 1:00am by killerviral

Minor embarassment, maybe, but you really think your life is fucked?

#3 - On 07/09/2009 at 6:45am by Endymion

FYL, not for the embarrassment, purely for the fact that it took you 10 minutes to unplug something.

#4 - On 07/09/2009 at 6:51am by SimpleSimon

Dude YDI for "making noise" when trying to pull out a plug. Pulling plugs out should be a SILENT ACTIVITY.

#5 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:01am by applebranch

FIRST I DONT GET THIS FML, SECOND DONT BE A FAGGOT.

#6 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:02am by PleaseSayTheBaby

Ummm.. I don't believe anyone here was being a : a bundle of sticks b : a bundle of pieces of wrought iron to be shaped by rolling or hammering at high temperature or c: a bassoon.

Also, DON'T TYPE YOUR WHOLE POST IN CAPS.

#20 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:33am by silvermoonstar3

You're a bassoon!

#22 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:51am by plethora

Faggot means homosexual male.

#38 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:49pm by SuperSpore

No it doesn't, faggot means a bunch of sticks or a cigarrette butt.

#49 - On 07/09/2009 at 5:50pm by MR_OHCRAP

actually, 'fagot' means a bundle of sticks. not 'faggot'.

but I like the bassoon comment :)

#57 - On 07/10/2009 at 2:07pm by bbobe900000

nevermind, it can be spelled either way.

#58 - On 07/10/2009 at 2:10pm by bbobe900000

What's the lesson today kids? Don't violently yank anything at work for 10 minutes. You're asking to get caught.

#7 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:18am by lesp

i c wot u did thar ;)

OP: What could possibly make it so difficult for you to pull the plug out of the socket? I'm baffled.

#10 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:42am by plethora

don't yank on cords... they're delicate

#8 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:19am by kingkash

Don't tell him that, let him pay $30-50 for a new chord. YDI, OP.

#28 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:00am by bishop186

If you had silently yanked really hard in the first place, your boss wouldn't have heard you. Think of being in your house when you were yanking on something in your bedroom, hoping your mom wouldn't hear.

#9 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:34am by crazyasianlady

k. and?

#11 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:42am by tubaguy42

#15 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:19am by hem

#16 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:21am by organisedchaos

Louie The Lighting Bug taught me never to pull on electrical cords and I listened! Maybe you should too.

#17 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:26am by m00sem00se

Ur so cool u shuld lern 2spek b4 insult ppl

Yeah, next time, if it's stuck just pull hard from the start.

#18 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:28am by grungecat

This may be the lamest FML I've ever seen. And there have been some really crappy ones lately.

#21 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:47am by mojomojo

I agree. Who approves these??? Seriously? FML have gotten down the drain lately...

#24 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:21am by Lau

Seriously! What the hell? This is so stupid.

#44 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:43pm by claritin

Uhm. Fyl for lacking the intelligence to unplug a computer properly.

#25 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:21am by Essentials

Anger management much? YDI for being a moron and not knowing how to unplug a computer

#26 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:45am by irishlassie731

this is an FML because he was looking at man porn when his boss came in. yikes

#27 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:06am by shewasalmost18

YDI! Haha! That's hilarious! I can totally see it happening!

#29 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:02am by danineteen

YDI. Why are you having a temper tantrum at work?

#30 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:07am by nonnymouse

You both need to calm the fuck down.

#31 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:15pm by jbrandonf

I can only think of one possible explanation for your inability to unplug a laptop... Are you an ant or some other kind of insect? That or you're just weak.

#32 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:35pm by deathbunny256

wow. you must have looked so amazingly stupid. i hope your boss got a kick out of it

#33 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:38pm by latkematzoball

wow. you must have looked so amazingly stupid. i hope your boss got a kick out of it

#34 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:40pm by latkematzoball

I swear to god someone went on the mod page and clicked yes for every single FML that came up. Most FML's are extremely lame today.

#35 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:49pm by rhiannaa

What kind of moron doesn't know how to unplug something? YDI.

#36 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:01pm by YoungTechnique

Your boss now knows the truth about you:

You are a moron.

#37 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:17pm by thugbert

I wanna know where the hell you work that it matters if you are making noise or not? :/

#46 - On 07/09/2009 at 4:12pm by skittlesxmonster

LOLOOLL
This just made my day?
& #46, GOOD ONE ;)

#47 - On 07/09/2009 at 4:46pm by kattt

Americans don't even have perpendicular plugs, so how exactly where you failing that?

#48 - On 07/09/2009 at 5:49pm by Sgt_Schadenfreud

YDI for not being capable of unplugging something.

#50 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:04pm by Shyman4ever

lol funny image

#51 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:22pm by beethoven

How did you manage to get yourself a job in the first place? Do you have a twin brother that did the interview and application for you so your boss wouldn't know he was hiring a dumbass?

#52 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:24pm by weirdgirl_sf

hahahaha what a freak

#53 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:47pm by bridgetoparadise

#54 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:24pm by rell55555

That one actually made me laugh out loud...I could so picture that happening.

#55 - On 07/10/2009 at 2:31am by BlackBirdBillie

lmfaoo this made me happy :)

#56 - On 07/10/2009 at 3:37am by ghostgirll

Must be one of those days unless you are easily irritable with noncompliant inanimate objects...
I don't have the best of luck with technology so it happened to me as well. My labtop plug got stuck in the outlet of my apartment; I pulled gently a couple of times then pulled it with a little more force. The plug came out, leaving behind a piece of the metal plug in the outlet, it was an oh crap moment but thank goodness my charger still works. However, the piece of metal was stuck in the outlet and I had to get pliers to pull it out.

#59 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:17pm by MissBunnyfufu

your boss must be scary as all hell because even the wall is afraid of him!
