Today, I learned that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I got it from playing too much World of Warcraft. I got a disease in real life by living in a virtual world. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to buy a wrist splint for my carpal tunnel syndrome. Not because I'm a computer programmer or some hot shot web designer but because I spend ALL of my time playing Solitaire on my laptop. FML
Today, after years of being an avid knitter and typing for a living, I got carpal tunnel syndrome… from my wrists flopping around too much while I'm driving. I live half an hour away from the nearest city. FML
Today, I realized that every time I play video games, my wrist and elbows always end up hurting so badly from holding my controller/handheld games. I always have to apply bengay and wear braces. Arthritis is creeping up on me harshly, and I’m still young so this sucks. FML
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I had to buy a wrist brace for a repetitive strain injury. I got the injury because I was knitting too much. I'm 22. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, I found out that the lump in my wrist that keeps getting inflamed and sore is caused by sketching and using my laptop too much. Good thing I'm in my fourth year of studying to become a designer. FML
Today, I found out that the stiffness I've been feeling in my hand is arthritis and that it's only going to get worse. Not only do I type for my job, I'm also 22. FML
Today, I woke up in the hospital. I had apparently overworked my heart so much that I fainted. What caused it? I was playing a racing game on my Wii and freaked out when I won first place. FML
Today, I woke up from surgery to find that the chronic warts on my right hand hadn't been removed. The doctor informed me that they'd grown into my radial nerve, so impossible to remove without permanent paralysis. My immune system sucks, so this is just in my hand forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Southpark, "Make Love Not Warcraft". If this is real, then you fail at life (or what you call life).

I can´t believe how immature the majority of posters on this site really is. "GET A LIFE - YOU PLAY WOW" oh, so one can´t have a social life in the real world because of a MMO-game? Yeah, OP obviously did play to much, so kinda YDI for that, however, I fail to see how people can be retarded enough to annihilate the kid. The majority of people acting as they´re badass on the internet normally are the ones that in reality doesn´t have a life, hence, they log onto forums and sites such as fml and try to come off as the baddest ****** to ever come out off a ******. Guess what? You fail. Miserably.

My last boyfriend played a lot of WoW, and now he's not my boyfriend anymore! You should stop playing even if it is hard for you, and try to get a real life!

Thats what you get for whoring yourself to gnomes in the underground tram! I know how addictive that game is. Hell, I played it for the longest time. But do yourself a favour. Stop paying the monthly subscription for a month or two. I did it to prove to my wife I was not addicted to it. And after 3 months I went back and tried playing it because of the new expansion. The fun lasted about half a month and then I was bored as hell. So quit for a month or two and I bet you won't want to go back after that. You will realise that your paying Blizzard tons of cash just so you can log onto a game and grind for hours apon hours. I personally didn't see the fun in that any more.

WoW is a video game. It is for fun. It is not your life. The worst thing about this FML is you consider playing WoW "living in a virtual world." When you think a game is life, you have a problem. CTS was just another symptom.

LOL @121 Halo 3 is only beaten by WoW as the most geekiest game.
