Today, I ran for editor-in-chief of a magazine. I spent hours working on my speech, and offered a bunch of new ideas to increase readership. My opponent just said that she, "loved the organization". I lost by a 4-1 margin. My opponent later announced her plans for next year. They were all of my ideas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to give a speech as part of my campaign for school captain. I was rather happy with it and so I told another candidate my speech. Apparently it was a good idea as minutes later that same candidate stole my entire speech, leaving me looking like a complete idiot. FML
Today, after submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, it was the elections for Student Council President. I decided to be nice and vote for the only other competitor because it was her birthday. I lost by one vote. FML
Today, I was having an in depth discussion with my girlfriend's father about how corrupt journalists are and how our town's paper is the worst paper on the planet. After insulting basically everything about the newspaper, I asked him what he did for a living. He's the editor of the newspaper. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
Today, I gave my boss a report I wrote on my own time, full of suggestions on how to increase productivity and profits at our company. He said my ideas made "about as much sense as pistol-whipping a ghost" and that I was impressing no one. FML
Today, we had a meeting at my job and we had to introduce new ideas to our boss. Earlier, I was talking to one of my close friends who also attended the meeting about my idea. As we start the meeting, she decides to steal my idea and take complete credit for it. My boss loves "her" idea. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML
Today, due to nepotism, I lost to a competitor. They rarely contributed to the competition and were literally distracted all the way through. Their quality was pretty low as well, but they were friends with the judge. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Even if she presented OP's ideas, she is still taking credit which makes her a bitch.

There needs to be a sarcastic font or something. People just don't know when to detect it.

I feel sorry for you, and for whoever voted for her.

The only idea you need to increase readership is to offer more A) boobs and B) bacon.
THE_A_TEEN 28
You forgot ice cream, and even more Bacon.

Baustigt, Einstein never could accept quantum mechanics saying it was an incomplete theory because he didn't believe that it was all based on probability.

Welcome to the real world. People probably just like her better. Maybe she is hot or has a large rack. Maybe she is just friendlier or flirts. Who knows. But that is the kind of stuff that wins popularity contests.

When she fails everyone will see their mistake and elect you next time.

That is wrong on so many levels. Crap like that makes me sick...it doesn't matter how qualified a person is anymore, it's all about who sleeps with who and who's friends with who. What's wrong with the world?

Social pressure to give someone a job just to even out the playing field, I.e favoritism and discrimination.
itsame0987 18
You don't know that any of that is true in this case. We don't know who has been at the company longer, how other articles have done, or of she has previous editing experience. To just say she slept with someone is demeaning. Guess what douche many women can do jobs a lot better than men. Women are not just sex objects who cook and clean.

I didn't say that did I? Way to presume. I said sometimes because of social pressure someone will be given a job just to even out the playing field, race or sex. If the underrepresented is as equally qualified then that's fine, If not, like in op's case then that's sexism/racism but because it's against the majority no one cares.

Plus if I had the choice, I would, if I were a woman and had a found an agreeing partner/husband, love to stay at home clean cook and looks after the (most important role) kids. All my bills would be paid, no stress, able to get out of the house when the kids are at school. All my responsibilities would be is to look after the home kids and husband. What woman wouldnt want to be a housewife? Society has corrupted you to make you think you have to have a job and thus men adapted and so any woman's chances of being just a loving housewife and mother, one of the most important roles in life I think, are nearly gone. I mean even you think housewife automatically means bad. Instead of rejecting it, you should embrace your womanhood. ****

Watch out guys, we've got a feminist troll on our hands! Here are signs to look out for: -Extremely defensive nature, and rants against anyone who questions a woman's position in ANYTHING. -Insults like: chauvinist pig, inconsiderate bastard, sex-crazed animal, to name a few. -Utter silence when faced with a logical retort, or complete denial altogether. Be alert! There may be more like her.

LOL YES!!!^
