It's not what you think!

Today, I went to the pharmacy to purchase a brace for my sprained wrist. My wife and I had recently ran out of KY lotion, so I decided to pick up a bottle while I was there. It didn't occur to me that these two items could be perceived as being related until the cashier began to giggle. FML

Good thing you weren't picking up a copy of "American Girl" magazine for your daughter at the same time. You could have been arrested.

You know, I did the same thing a couple of months ago. I'm a writer, so I read a lot of different books for research and stuff. I went to a used bookstore and found two books I thought would be interesting - "Hope and Recovery" (the Sexaholics Anonymous book) and "The Cub Scout Handbook." FML.

That's pretty funny. Both the above story and this FML. Though it isn't so much an FML as it is a funny little story.

Ox, that is amazing. I love little unintended implications like this.

The brace for "wanking" and "lotion" for lube. the books of hope and recovery for getting back to life and cub scouts for little boys. think perverted here.

Show it anyway

Will you shut the **** up? Description of the site: "It’s a collection of everyday anecdotes and stories likely to happen to anyone and everyone, sent to us exclusively by our users, which we then publish on the site. This is a space where you can let it all out and unwind by sharing the little things that screw with your day, and maybe realize that you are not alone in experiencing day to day crap." It's not supposed to be something like "Today, I was raped. While filing the police report, a random hobo came up to me and shot me in the chest. While in the hospital, I was told I have AIDs. FML." It's supposed to be funny anecdotes that ruin someone's day.

If I moderate that FML later..... I'll know it was you :D Anyhow OP, I highly doubt this "didn't occur" to you, since after all you are a man.

yes because every single man on earth thinks like that dont they

lol nice dude. tell him whats up! that was a good fml at the end too ha ha

I would think the fact that he's a man would make it more obvious to him. You know, the sex hound stigma and all that...

Really #49? I would think you wouldn't know anything about books. That whole "inferior to men" stigma going on.

I wasn't trying to be sexist, if you'll look up I was responding to an earlier commenter, who actually was being sexist. But you can go ahead and stay butthurt if you want, pansy.

Hahaha, your fake fml is very funny. I think you should try to post something similar to the site.

Oh yeah, worse thing ever. I'll tell the starving, aids-infected children in Africa that no, their life is not the thing that could happen cuz some guy mistakenly got accused of masturbating to much. I'm sure they'll take that well.

People like you annoy the hell out of me. Why does everything amusing have to be "EP1C!!!!!!" these days? Won't a simple "That's awesome!" suffice?

And people like YOU piss ME off. Words like "awesome" are often overused by complete douche bags. Why don't you grow a vocabulary and cancel your subscription to AOL.

Yeah because shouting "EPIC!!" at everything isn't douchey at all, right?

i don't know, i think dial-up modems and that little yellow man are pretty cool.

Cracker fails for using a "1" as the "I" in "EPIC".

In my opinion, use any excited exclamation you like, just as long as it doesn't offend when it isn't meant to. Honestly, it doesn't even have to be a real word. My friend uses 'yayness!' But if you are going to criticize grammar, at least think about what you suggest. Awesome too doesn't fit in the context, as it is based on the word awe. I don't think any of us are in AWE of these funny little stories, even if we like them. ;)

well at least you made someone elses day... FYL

This actually just made me laugh, a lot. Could have been made better if you also purchased either duct tape or a hamster.

Honestly, it could have been worse. You could be buying a mens health magazine or something too. That would have been truely funny

Meh, it could've been a pregnancy test, a wire coat hanger, and a bucket.

Hahaha, xkcd ftw. That was what I was thinking of when I posted that. :]
