Today, I rented a copy How To Train Your Dragon for my young son to watch. I put the DVD in, hit play without paying attention, and went off to make lunch. A few minutes later, my son ran into the kitchen screaming. Apparently, there was a mix up at the rental store and I got a copy of Saw IV. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought How To Train Your Dragon and the cashier started complaining how her kids keep demanding dragon stuff and that mine will start after they see the movie. I don't have any kids, and I didn't have the courage to tell her I was buying it for myself. FML
Today, I made a half-hour bike ride to the movie store, only to realize I'd forgotten my money. I made the ride back home, grabbed my money, went back to the store, paid, then made a second ride home. I got home exhausted, and opened the case. They gave me the wrong movie. FML
Today, I went to the movies and accidentally walked into the wrong theater. I sat through an entire horror film, thinking it was supposed to be a rom-com. I kept waiting for the romantic twist. It never came. Satanic haunted dolls or whatever they were did, though. FML
Today, I saw Avatar in iMax 3D. Towards the end of the movie I jump, yelled, and spilled my drink all over the people in front of me because I thought a burning piece of ash landed on my leg. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML
Today, my 24 year old girlfriend plugged her ears and stomped her feet while making really loud noises in our local video store. She then refused to stop until I agreed to rent and watch The Notebook with her. FML
Today, I found out my husband put a parental block on the TV so I couldn't rent a movie. I'm 42. FML
Today, I bought "Angus, thongs and perfect snogging" on DVD. FML
Today, my brother was doing an extremely annoying Shrek impression, so I turned the TV on in a desperate attempt to drown him out. You'll never guess what movie was on. FML
Today, I found out my old DVD player is jealous of my Blu-ray player. It fell from the top of my closet and hit me in the head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Didn't you notice that the disc WASN'T how to train a dragon or that the menu was wrong?

True. Shouldn't the disk itself have said what the DVD was?

Not always, some times the copied disks at the store don't have the various paraphernalia on it. Still, they should have looked at the menu, unless it was a bootleg copy.

From working at a movie store, I can tell you that if they put artwork on a disc, all of the discs will have it. I have never experienced a movie with some silver discs and some printed ones. It is true that some discs do not have any sort of artwork on it, but Saw IV indeed does. There is a decapitated head in a scale as well as rather large letters stating that the movie is indeed Saw IV

Some rented DVDs, such as ones from Hastings, do NOT have the printed artwork. They are simply silver with the title printed on them.

This is bullshit. OP would have seen what film it was on the disk or on the menu pressing play. YDI for making up fake FML's

I'm guessing the video store won't pay for your childs therapy?

I've had that happen to me before, I get so into doing something else and just place the DVD in without reading it. The menu would have appeared, and just by THAT image a kid would be downright terrified!! Movie rental places do not have any bootlegged or blank DVDs, and mix ups are unusual but happen, so it cannot be a fake fml.
