Today, I began to sign "I love you" to my boyfriend from across the room. I ended up just poking myself in the eye. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while making out with my boyfriend, I slightly opened my eyes during it and saw him with his eyes wide open, watching TV. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. It was going well until our braces got caught. Out of pain, I tried to pull away, which made my eyes water. Then I sneezed in his mouth. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were play-wrestling on the bed, when he started to tickle me. I tried to pull away but he pushed me back down. I ended up hitting my eye on the corner of the nightstand. His comment was "this is why you shouldn't struggle." FML
Today, while I was cuddling with my girlfriend, she looked at me and leaned in. Thinking she was going to kiss me, I leaned too. Just as we were about to kiss, she screamed "COW KISSES" and somehow managed to lick my eyeball. FML
Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, I was on a date and tried to act seductive and mysterious by slowly sipping my drink while making eye contact with him. I misjudged the straw’s length and location and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, I did something clever at work and I was telling one of the other girls about it. I said "Just using my noodle" and went to tap my temple but instead I jabbed myself in the eye. FML
Today, I leaned over my sleeping girlfriend, kissed her cheek and told her I love her. She punched me in the ear. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. He responded by fist pumping. FML
Today, my boyfriend elbowed me in the eye while we were sleeping. His excuse: "You shouldn't have stayed over." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I can picture it happened like this: • you made eye contact with eachother • you smiled at him • while smiling you slowly poked your eye • he was confused

I'm not sure if there's any difference in signing "I love you" in Australia but I certainly hope there is.. Because otherwise I'm not quite sure how you managed to poke yourself in the eye. Hope you're okay. FYL

I love you in sign is no where near your eye.... Why was your hand near your eye? I speak sign language. Unless it's different in Australia

Technically you don't SPEAK "Sign".

Sign languages are different around the world. That's why, in America, it's called "American Sign Language," and, in New Zealand, "New Zealand Sign Language," and, in Britain, "British Sign Language," and so on.

Correct, it's not spoken, but you get the point. Yes mine is American Sign Language.

Maybe OP wasn't talking about actual sign language. I got the impression she just made signs to signify "I love you". Like maybe she pointed to her eye for the "I" in "I love you", and that's when the eye-poking happened

how did you poke your eye, none of those signs are near your face?

It is possible to poke your eye in sign depending on how open or closed you are. She could have done the "ILY" sign and kept it too close to her face. I almost poked my eye signing father due to clumsiness. Just my personal opinion hehe.

Were you signing "Eye" (by pointing to your eye) "Love" "You" or "I" (by pointing to your chest) "Love" "You"? It is easier to just hold out your palm facing away with your thumb out, first finger up second and third finger down and pinky up.
