Clout chasing

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, feeling in need of a self-esteem boost, I took what I thought was a good selfie and I put it on Facebook. Out of 500 friends, the only response I got was a picture of Saddam Hussein with the caption, "This is why I bomb people." FML
