Today, I corrected someone who spelled "learned" as "learnt" on my favorite forum. Nothing could've prepared me for the torrent of abuse that followed from the non-American members. Now I'm banned for "trolling," and all my 7,000+ posts since 2006 are gone forever. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on my favourite forum when I saw a guy ranting at some pro-lifer fanatic. For fun, I replied "umad bro?" apparently moments after the forum founder also left an angry reply. I'm now banned for a month for "trolling the founder" and all my posts have vanished without a trace. FML
Today, I posted on a forum asking if I could be a moderator. Instead, I got banned. FML
Today, I confessed my love for the girl I like, on the forum she moderates. She responded by banning me. FML
Today, I signed up to a Christian website in order to try and 'find God again'. I got banned. FML
Today, while drunk, my brother got on my computer onto my already logged in Wikipedia account and made a few bad edits. He got me reported for vandalism, sending abusive messages to other editors, and banned from editing, pending appeal. FML
Today, I learned that I may have caused a public speaker and author to be fired, because my response to his "open chat" question flustered him, causing him to lose his cool and snap at me. FML
Today, two American guys attacked me for not speaking their language. I'm from England, and they said I'm speaking my own language wrong. FML
Today, I made a Discord account for the first time and got banned, even though I hadn't even logged in. Like, how is that possible? FML
Today, I confidently corrected someone in a group conversation. I was wrong. Very wrong. Everyone stared while Google proved me incorrect in seconds. I nodded and pretended I meant something else. FML
Today, after nearly 19 years, my Facebook account was permanently disabled because I'd banned too many scammers. I admin 58 groups, for over 2 million members, and have banned 50k+ fake accounts. One of them apparently reported me, and since Facebook runs some fake accounts, it was easier to ban me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Haha, don't correct idiots. They hate that.

I guess it's better to not correct people on the interwebs.. Usually just causes pointless debates. Learn to just let it go... Still FYL.

Your life sucks, but be prepared for a battle. I have seen a lot of comments saying you were wrong to correct someone, but I think you have every right to. Nothing frosts my mug more than the little "alot" instead of a lot, or the "would of" instead of the correct "would have" or...one more here "I seen"...wtf were these people doing in school when they should have been learning.

YDI for assuming your American way is the correct way... The continental US is not the center of the universe... On a side note it is shocking how many here comment about the OP and that "He" deserved it for correcting... Where the post clearly states that the OP is female...

I am sorry but YDI, for being a grammar nazi. Also 7000+ post. That is about 2-3 post a day. So YDI for having a forum take over your life.

2-3 post a day is not that many, how many FML comments do you make daily? OP never stated how long the post were, and personally it doesn't take me long to write a long post.
