Today, I asked a customer to send me via e-mail the image he wanted me to print. He said, "I don't have an email, I have a Gmail." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I logged on to my Gmail account and to find that my brother had sent my math teacher a picture of Bigfoot peeing into a urinal. Using my account. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Today, one of my clients called me, saying that he received my email. When I asked what I could do for him, he replied, “Well, what does the email say?” FML
Today, my fiancé emailed me some steamy pics. Too bad he forgot to erase "FWD:" from the subject line. FML
Today, I sent a polite yet strongly-worded email to one of my corporate clients in which I expressed my irritation at being asked the same question by the same team for the 4th day in a row. I ended it with "Regards!" but accidentally swapped the 'g' with a 't'. FML
Today, I found out that my 'girlfriend', who I've been emailing with, was really my friend playing a prank on me. He asked me for naked pictures of myself and I sent them to him. FML
Today, I found a picture on my phone of me and my best friend that I didn't take. Turns out my dad did, from behind, and it got onto my Google photo backup, which means that he was logged in to my Gmail from his phone when he did it. And my family wonders why I don't trust them. FML
Today, my dad woke me up in a panic at five to ten in the morning, because he couldn't figure out how to type the "@" in an e-mail address. FML
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I (admittedly dumbly) AI generated pictures of my boss as a joke with my coworkers. They asked me to send them to them but instead I ended up sending it to my boss. A bunch of them were him extremely obese or with his ass out. I can't unsend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Oh of course, just send an electronic message and electronically mail us the image via your gmail. Thank goodness we have gmail instead of email now!"

I'm glad gmail took over email, that stuff was hard. Gmail is just so easy to use!

Thus makes it on to FML. I lose a tire while driving 85 mph 600 miles from home and 500 miles from my destination and that's not interesting enough. But this moment is bad enough to get on FML.

Tell him there's a data processing upcharge for Gmail and pocket it. You can't cure stupid, but you can profit from it.

How exactly is getting fired profiting?

Maybe my standards are a bit high, but how does someone else confusing a bit of tech info constitute an Fyl? This site is full of stories of robberies, broken bones, and jilted lovers, and your trauma is that someone thought that gmail and email aren't basically the same thing?!?! Soft, man, soft.

I think the issue is that he had to be around someone that stupid. I do agree that there are FMLs with deeper issues, but dealing with stupid is a kind of suffering, too. Also telling someone that their problems aren't bad enough to be on here is kind of uncool. You don't get to tell people what they can and can't complain about, champ.

That is so Texas! I knew you were from there before I looked. Sadly, the rest of America and the world don't get the Texas meaning of "bless his/her heart."

Anyone else in the South gets it. As a proud Carolinian, my friends and I use that phrase abundantly.

This is EXACTLY the sort of thing my father says. It always irritates me.

The exact same thing happened to me the other day!

I used to work in a hotel restaurant, and when I had to answer phones (I was the chef, so would answer calls before waitstaff came in) I used to get questions like "what time do the falls get turned off?". I used to answer them with an explanation about how it's a natural waterfall and there is no valve... then I got it so often I would tell them that it was at 10pm and an awesome sight.
