Today, after a promotion at work, my new manager made me reset my password for a website we use. To do so, I had to answer the secret question I’d set two years prior. The question was "What is your favorite activity?" The answer I had to type out in front of my manager was "Drinking." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML
Today, I was trying to be a responsible adult and check my credit score. I accidentally mistyped my password five times, got locked out, and had to call customer service. They asked me so many security questions, I started questioning my own identity (and sanity). FML
Today, my friend sent me an online money transfer. After forgetting the password and locking myself out of my account, I had to phone up the bank and have it reset. I was prompted to answer the security question, which was "What, what?" I had to say "In the butt." to get my money. FML
Today, I spent an hour trying to log into my work email. I apparently kept typing the wrong password and eventually got locked out for 24 hours. My boss texted me five minutes later asking why I wasn’t responding to his emails. FML
Today, at work, I was called into the office by my supervisor, on whom I have a massive crush. He called me in to get my password to make some adjustments on my work account and asked me what my password was. I had to hold eye contact with him and tell him my password is his full name. FML
Today, I spent 15 minutes trying to log into my email at work. Frustrated, I reset my password. As soon as I finished, IT called to remind me that the reason I couldn’t log in was because I was typing my Netflix password the entire time. FML
Today, I was asked a security question by my bank's app when I tried using it after a year. After two to three wrong attempts, I got it correct with the answer, "Myself." The question was, "Who was your childhood friend?" FML
Today, during my first day at my new job, my manager told everyone to “share one fun fact about yourself.” I panicked and blurted out, “I once accidentally washed my passport.” Everyone laughed, which was fine until my boss said, “So that’s why your background check is taking so long?” FML
Today, I worked up the courage to order coffee on my own instead of using the app. When the barista asked, “Name?” I froze and blurted out my email address. They called out my full name plus numbers and I had to claim it like that was normal. FML
Today, I spent several minutes trying to log into my email, only to realize I was typing my work password instead of my personal one. After three failed attempts, my account locked me out for 24 hours. Now I can’t check my emails or reset the password because they need me to check my email. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So...? Managers can have a sense of humor too. At least the answer wasn't "secret butt sex with a hamster"

I always forget my answers to secret questions. I'm that creative. -sigh-

Hey drinking is also my favorite activity but yeah I wouldn't want my boss knowing that!

I'd make a joke about Australians and their drinking, but I'm going to be more polite than that. :P I'm sure your boss doesn't care that much, he probably assumes it's either a long standing answer that you wouldn't forget, or a joke answer. If he does, explain to him that it's just from uni years or something...

that is just a dumb stereotype, I know plenty of Australians that don't drink or barely drink alcohol.

I know it's a dumb stereotype, hence why; a) I said I'd be more polite than that, and b) I put a ':P' at the end, that means I'm kidding.

It could've been a lot worse. That's not even too bad.

You'd be in trouble if you were in Utah, but I see you are in Australia and drinking is like the national pastime down there. Your boss is probably disappointed in you for choosing a secret word that is too common and easy to guess!

I'm from Aus too, and my question is: how do all you Americans know that Australians are borderline alcoholics? Don't get me wrong, it's true, and we are. But I didn't realise it was common knowledge. Lol.

It's the Foster's commercials. And the fact that U.S. beer is water by comparison.
