Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, I got back from an 8 month deployment but rather than being pleased to see me my wife wanted to continue the same argument we were having the day I left. I miss being shot at. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, my girlfriend left for basic training. I went to say goodbye to her at the airport. Only after I walked back to my car did I realize that she still had the keys. My extra set was back at the house, locked in. FML
Today, I went to pick up my long-distance boyfriend at the airport. It has been over six months since I last saw him and four days since I last heard from him. He never showed up. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from being deployed for the past 3 months. As soon as he gets out of the car, he walks right past me and goes to hug his dog. FML
Today, my fiancé left for a 6-month deployment overseas. I waved him away, came back inside alone, and cried. I know this is what I signed up for, but the cat could've shown more sympathy than staring at me and walking away. FML
Today, I came home on leave from a 7 month deployment to Iraq. I wanted to see my girlfriend today, but she needed to spend time with her sick grandmother. As it turns out, her sick grandmother and my cousin are the same person. FML
Today, I met the girl who dumped me because the distance between us was too great. We're in the same city again. She's now dating a Marine in Iraq. FML

lol, at #3. No one takes intramural sports seriously. Certainly no one considers it a responsibility to play intramural sports where half the people show up drunk. This was a burn big time. You should take as much offense to this as possible.

That sucks, but I don't think this is that FML worthy. I know some people in Japan do find sports to be really important. Also, how do you know if it wasn't an important game of her little brother or something? I feel like this isn't very specific, I mean unless it was to meet other men or something, this shouldn't be that big a deal. Also where you were deployed matters too. As far as I am aware of, Japan has pretty good relations with most countries, their biggest problems are with China & N. & S. Korea. Slightly off topic but I heard there was a cruise liner for some "charity" in Japan last year I think and they commented on how Japanese soldiers should stay in Japan, but they should be allowed to bring a few for their protection (their charity was something controversial) for their cruise around the world. oTL Also if it was in Korea, I feel for you man, there are a lot of nationalistic people there that are hostile to Japan.

do you know what intramural games are? their is no such thing as an imprtant intramural softball game. and where he was deployed has absolutely no relevance to the situation at all.

that totally happened to me as well... i spent 12 months in afghanistan (minus the mid tour EML) and when i arrived back stateside, my wife didn't pick me up because she didn't want to take the night off work (or clock out early). i had to hitch a ride from one of my soldiers.
