Today, I realized I'm so desperate for money that I started to watch Breaking Bad to learn how to make meth. I stopped, not because I decided it was a bad idea, but because it looks too hard. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend suggested that we become "drug dealers" because I'm a chemistry student and he's seen a few episodes of Breaking Bad. FML
Today, my dad tore my room apart for the second time, looking for drug-making equipment. His reasoning is that I must be dealing drugs, because I'm a chemistry major who likes to watch Breaking Bad. FML
Today, my 43-year-old brother's obsession with Breaking Bad reached a new level of stupidity when he nearly got us beaten up by a bunch of meth-heads down by our local park. He went up to them with his shaved head and stupid hat, and tried to act all Walter White with them. FML
Today, I got the ending to Breaking Bad spoiled for me by a cashier while I was buying the final season box-set. FML
Today, I realized I need a new job. This happened when I was seriously considering ways to break my leg so I could stay at home for a day and not have to deal with my boss. FML
Today, I walked in on my fifteen-year-old son and his friends attempting to set up a rudimentary meth lab in his bedroom. I'm not sure whether to be angrier that they simply tried this, or that they thought burning up baking soda would somehow produce methamphetamine. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out, calling me a selfish pig and saying that the reason I don't have a girlfriend is because I'm so conceited. All of this because I started watching the latest episodes of Breaking Bad without her. FML
Today, I'm so broke, I resorted to breaking into my old apartment complex to do my laundry in the basement for free. FML
Today, realizing how poor I am, I decided to steal gas. The only place I was brave enough to steal from was my parents' lawn mower. FML
Today, I tried to be a responsible adult and went to bed early. I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep, so I binge-watched a whole season of a show on Netflix. It was a terrible fucking show as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not only is it a terrible idea, but there's no way you can learn by watching that show. That's like thinking you can learn to count cards by watching 21.

Suggestions for more productive uses of your time: Looking for a job Donating blood/plasma Doing volunteer work Learning a new (preferably marketable) skill Catching up on reading Judging by the level of intelligence in this story, I would say the last one will take quite a while.

I did the same exact thing they just don't add enough details on how to do it in that show haha. But it's still a great show I just wish I was smart enough to do it

How about recommending that the kid get a job, versus turning to something that will land him in jail or the morgue?

My ex-neighbor's kid is in jail for the next seven years for the production of meth. Why don't you ask him what a brilliant idea that was. Oh, that's right. You can't. He's in jail.

A. Making meth isn't hard, tweaked out drug zombies do it everyday! B. making meth is a bad idea as its just plain dangerous and could land you in serious legal trouble. C. Breaking bad deliberately leaves out key steps in the meth making process ( for legal reasons).

I'm pretty sure Breaking Bad doesn't teach you. You would have a better chance at googling it.

Or listening to "The Never Song" by Whitest Kids U Know! "Never take cough syrup and mix it up with iodine and lye..." Informative and hilarious!

Go get a job... On a side note, great tv show! Can't wait till it comes back on but it's still just a tv show and in the real world Walter White would have never survived beyond the first season.

I know a teacher in my daughter's school district who made 1 million dollars (as of last year, so she could possibly have made more this year) by creating and selling classroom lesson plans. The other teachers buy them to use in class and it saves them time and its convenient. Its so simple, yet genius! You need to find a niche where there is a group of people who will pay for what you are offering....without being illegal, like cooking meth.
