Today, I found one of those online color blindness tests where you have to distinguish a colored number from the pattern. Not being able to, I spent hundreds of dollars on medical tests to discover that the pattern online was a joke. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I failed hard at a color test. I thought it was a joke because most of the colors looked the same to me. Now I know why people laugh at my clothes color choices. FML
Today, after passing various interviews and tests, I was given a great job pending a pre-employment medical test. Now I'm jobless and colorblind. FML
Today, I recently woke up colourblind and so far no doctor or surgeon can tell me why. I'm a graphic designer, I went to university and put years of practise into this specific skill set, I need to see in colour or this could cost me my job and ruin my career prospects. FML
Today, I spent 16 minutes doing a “free” IQ test. I then found out you had to pay, and then spent another 20 on another. Now I feel dumb. FML
Today, to settle a bet with a friend, I took an online IQ test twice. The first time, I chose answers at random without reading the questions. The second time, I took it for real. I got a higher score from the random selections than from my serious attempt. FML
Today, I spent all day organizing a list of electronic parts for my boss. I found the easiest way was to color problem parts in the spreadsheet red and okay parts green. After I finished at the end of the day, I found out my boss is red-green colorblind. FML
Today, I took an online IQ test, even though I knew they give everyone unrealistically high scores. My score was 73. FML
Today, I failed a Rorschach test. How do you fail a Rorschach test? WTF. FML
Today, after decades of 24/7 cognitive impairment and being made to feel like a hypochondriac by many doctors over the years, I learned I have a severe physical illness. I kept researching and discovered my own illness, found out which test to ask for, and finally showed doctors proof. FML
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hayleyyanne, there are different types of colour blindness. While males are a lot more likely to be colour blind, it's not unheard of for a woman to be colour blind as well. I recommend your Biology teacher return to school and stop embarrassing the rest of the scientific community. You may also wish to seek out more recent text books. OP: You're an idiot.

Women can be color blind, but only if their father is. If they got a carrier gene (c) from their color blind father and one from their mother (c), they would be homozygous recessive (cc), and therefore would be color-blind.

Why on Earth wouldn't you (at the very, very least) read up on it and try to find other online tests before spending hundreds of dollars on medical examinations? There isn't an online test in the world that would have me spending a penny without a hell of a lot of research being done first. YDI.

You're a moron. Do you have any idea how colorblindness works? Most people who are colorblind only find out when they're tested, they can live their whole life thinking that they see normally and then find out otherwise.

"About 5–8 percent of males, but less than 1 percent of females, are color blind in some way or another, whether it be one color, a color combination, or another mutation.[5] The reason males are at a greater risk of inheriting an X linked mutation is because males only have one X chromosome (XY, with the Y chromosome being significantly shorter than the X chromosome), and females have two (XX); if the women inherit a normal X chromosome in addition to the one which carries the mutation, they will not display the mutation, while men have no 'spare' normal chromosome to override the chromosome which carries the mutation." - Wikipedia Maybe you are thinking of Rod Monochromancy... where a person can only see in shades of grey. That i s very rare among people that are colorblind, so it is probably never heard of in females.. or at least hardly ever. Way to fail, kid.

#28 - Hey hey, I'm fifteen and just finished biology and I knew that women could be colour blind.

NO. Women CAN be colorblind. It's very, very rare, but it's not impossible.

If you can't catch up on a joke that fast, then you deserve to lose hundreds of dollars figuring out that it WAS a joke.
