Today, I made quite an impression on my new bin men by forgetting to put the bin out 'til the last minute. I'm sure they enjoyed a good laugh at the woman in shorts, tank top and slippers struggling with a brolly as she slipped and slid while dragging her bin up a hill in a downpour. FML

For those of you wondering, she's saying she forgot to take the trash out, so she had to do it just before the garbagemen came. In the UK, bin means trash/garbage.

#7, how is that relevant to the FML?

The FML literally says she's "struggling with a brolly" ... Wasn't sure it was a term used outside the UK so thought I'd add it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I appreciated it, 7. I had no idea what a brolly was. I thought it may have meant the trash. So, thank you

Thanks for interpreting that from English to English. The UK and America have different versions of English.

I thought "brolly" might have meant a trash can on wheels. Bin + ROLLY

The funny thing is I read your explanation and was like "well yeah of course doesn't everyone know that?" Then I remembered oh right I live in America and not everyone reads/watches as many british books and tv shows as I do.

I can invasion your plight being adapted for film… (Camera pans down, pulling focus through the rain and setting the silhouetted OP center frame. Dramatic music rises in volume.) (OP, struggling, loses a slipper and falls down:) OP: "NOOOOOO!" (Lands with a slowmo thud accompanied by percussion.) OP: "Bins! Bins, you gotta go on without me! GO! NOW!" Bins: "" OP: "Oh, right. You're just bins."

Seems like Tripartita's invasion didn't work this time.

I love it when I needed a translator to go from British English to American English.
