Today, at work, my buddy pulled up in his car. I handed him $40, and he handed me a bag. It must have looked like a drug deal, but he was actually just smuggling in the new Pokémon game for me. I'm 22, and a drug deal would probably have been less embarrassing to explain. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker paid me back the $15 I let him borrow and we shook hands. Later, I was called into my boss's office, where he threatened to fire me for doing a drug deal in front of customers. The police are getting involved. FML
Today, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML
Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML
Today, my brother found 100 bucks in his coat pocket. He was so happy he bought 2 new games for his x-box. He was borrowing my coat. FML
Today, someone left their drug bag on the table in the lounge at my place, probably a friend, and probably a mistake. The next minute the cops knock on the door and force their way in. Immediately the cop spots the drug bag and cuffs me. It wasn't even my bag. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear. I thought it was a sweet thing to do, until I saw him open a slit in its back while visiting later in the day and removing a bag of weed. He gave me a teddy bear just so he could smuggle drugs past my parents. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop car. As I was fumbling for my license and registration, I handed the officer a half-empty bag of Doritos I’d forgotten was in my glove box. He thought I was trying to bribe him. FML
Today, I hid my weed stash in a bag from an expensive jewellery store. My sister walked into my room, went "Ooh, what's this?" and grabbed the bag. I grabbed it back and ad-libbed that it was her Christmas gift. Now I actually have to buy her expensive jewellery. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML
Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Psssh.... I'm almost 21, and I still love the pokemon games. I need somebody to bring me my copy too. I hurt my leg, so I haven't felt up to going to get it myself. It's nothing to be embarassed about, if anybody said anything to me in that situation I'd tell them the truth. I don't care, whether they like it or not it's who I am... not going to be ashamed of who I am. Which of course, is a pokemon master! You shouldn't either, plenty of people in their 20's or older play, and either way it's really nobody's business.

At the risk of being thumbed down I think the new Pokemon sucks. Old Pokemon was the shit. I still have all my cards. I have all my yugioh cards too. OK I'll admit it I like Pokemon and I'm 21.

Totally agree. Sometimes I still get out my Pokemon red/blue/yellow on my original black and white gameboy :) they were the best I reckon

Not a fan of the 2.5D Pokemon games, I prefer Crystal, Ruby and Leaf Green.

Eh, I'm 25 and the only reason I didn't preorder is 'cuz it didn't come with a preorder bonus. If they'd thrown in an artbook or world map poster or something I would've picked it up today with Code of Princess.

I'm 20 and I still play pokemon, neopets, gaia-online, and runescape. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Sounds like a typical Canadian drug deal to me ;-)
