Today, I had to explain to someone that all beverages, except plain water, actually have calories. They weren't too happy that their milkshake diet was over before it began. FML

Today, I managed to convince my sister that when you press down the diet button on the lid of a McDonald's cup it turns whatever is in there diet. I pressed the button and she started shouting how she hates diet drinks. She's 19. FML

Today, at lunch I ordered a coke. The waiter replied "diet coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular coke." He shook his head and said again, "diet coke." FML

Today, I went in to my local cafe for my morning coffee. I was chatting to the barista as she was making it, and I mentioned that I was starting a new diet. She goes, "Oh that's great! I've been sneaking skimmed milk in your coffee for years, I didn't want to say anything..." FML

Conspiracy watch

Today, I got screamed at by my mom for about 10 minutes because she claims I’m ruining my diet by drinking sparkling water, claiming it’s “soda”. I had to explain that it has zero sugar, calories, etc. She told me that it’s “the same fucking shit.” And to not trust “the government food labels.” Huh? FML

Today, I wanted to believe that people couldn't possibly be this stupid, but prior to surgery my brother's wife was put on an all-liquid diet. The idiot didn’t realize that putting cake and ice cream in a blender didn’t make it a fucking clear liquid. She argued, “I’m not eating it, I’m drinking it!” FML

Today, my friend told me she was going to start drinking Gatorade, so she could get the body shape of the athletes on TV. When I tried to explain to her that she'd also need to work out to achieve this, she went nuts and hurled the bottle at my face. FML

Today, I was driving on the motorway when a cop car made me stop. It was a routine check and when they said "Have you been drinking?" of course I said no. To that, my 6 year old sitting in the back screamed "Yes she did! She's lying I saw her drink!" I had drunk a milkshake. FML

Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

They could still do a low calorie milkshake diet. Doesn't have to be zero, right?

Ugh,I really can't stand all the people going off on diet soda. Yes,it's bad. So is 90% of the stuff we eat. Obesity leads to tons of health problems as well as death(especially in the case of heart attacks). If drinking diet soda is just one step away from gorging themselves on calories,so what? It's better than drinking alcohol,and yet you never see anyone going off on that. Alcohol is literally poison to our bodies and destroys an organ.

Yes! Diet soda will kill you and causes Alzheimer's!!!! I know because I read it on a Facebook feed!!!! Just like how sweet'n-low causes canced in lab rats when they lived off it!!! .... If you actually read up on those claims they are debatable at best

It is posts like these that make me wish FML had three options, "I agree, your life sucks", "you deserved it" and "what the expletive"..... What was the milkshake diet person thinking?
