Today, I was so excited to play the video game I just bought, I decided to read the manual in the game. I went over the seizure warning and thought to myself, who the hell gets a seizure from playing a video game? Apparently I do. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was introduced to Minecraft. I haven't blinked in 5 hours. FML
Today, my boss's obese bully of a grandson had a seizure. Being the only physician around, I had to rush in to tend to him. Except it wasn't a seizure as such. My daughter had found my taser and used it on him. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML
Today, I was watching a movie on TV. One of the characters has the same name as my dog, and when his name was called, my dog got so excited that he jumped face-first into my TV. FML
Today, out of curiosity, I took an online test to see if I have ADHD. Halfway through, I got so distracted and bored that I gave up. I guess I know the answer then… FML
Today, I accidentally set my hair on fire while lighting a cigarette. I panicked and put it out by slapping myself in the face. FML
Today, at work, I jumped under my desk in fear of a nuclear missile attack when the firestation next us let out its new awareness siren. I think I'm going insane. FML
Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML
Today, I was teasing my cat with a piece of string when suddenly my phone rang. I answered it with one hand and put the string down with the other onto my lap. The beast seized the opportunity to spring, claws out, onto my privates. FML
Today, I slammed the car door on my head while I was getting in the car. If that wasn't bad enough, my boyfriend is convinced I now have a concussion and insists on waking me up every hour to make sure I'm still alive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Heed the warning, bro. They don't make this shit up.

When will people remember this? Just because ALL THE FMLs AUTOMATICALLY start with "Today", it doesn't mean that they happened the same day! Anyway, that sucks a lot, especially if you're a big gamer - I'd be bummed if it were me. I'm curious about what game it was now, though.

Oh... This is not uncommon though. It's called the Paka Paka effect :) usually caused by having too many or too fast flashes on the screen. However, it's only very common with 9 year olds( hence the tragic siezure frenzy in Japan in... 1977( I think) millions of 9 year olds got seizures by watching an original pokemon episode, pikatchu's lightening had a lot of yellow and white fast flashes) , if you're older, you should check with a dorctor. It could mean sth as simple as having ur brain wired like that of a 9 year old , or it could be a sign of sth serious.

#24 I don't think Pokémon was around in 1977. Maybe you meant 1997?

You seem to have come down with a case of awesomeness. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, and/or seizures. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Epileptic seizures are triggered very easily actually. My brother has them, and he was sleeping and just randomly had one. I feel for ya bro, that's gotta suck.

Um, None of you have any idea what your talking about. Anyone at any age is susceptible to an (isolated) seizure. This does not necessarily mean you have epilepsy.. Not by a long shot. Seizures could be caused by many provoking factors - and flashing strobe like lights have been known to cause seizures in people even without epilepsy; Hence the warning. Some people just have lower 'seizure thresholds' than others.. But I guarantee any of you snort enough cocaine or put a strobe light directly infront of your face in a pitch black room.. You will have a seizure, doesn't mean you have epilepsy though.

I always think the same damn thing! Well good to know those warnings aren't for nothing, I always found them ridiculous. Then again, you're talking to the girl who can play games for days and not be phased...
