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!

I thought that "How to Train Your Dragon" sounded like a **** title.

That would not happen. The movie store likely would not make a mistake like that. There's no way you could be paying so little attention that you saw nothing on the DVD or menu screen unless you DVD player is far from your TV (also an implausibility). YDI for making a fake FML.

Well, OP might have just let the kid play the movie himself, and probably didn't think much of the menu and just pressed play immediately, I don't think DVD menus are something a kid on these times have trouble with...

she said "a few minutes later..." so he probably saw the menu screen, not the actual movie. this could be a real FML.

The kid probably screamed, "You're awesome, Mom! You've given me many ideas on how to slaughter people, instead of some unrealistic fantasy drivel."

you know usually there's a picture on the disk and it's usually a saw blade or something gruesome, maybe you should double check the DVD next time so the poor kid doesn't get traumatized, but that's usually the video store workers' job also. anyhow just hope that doesn't happen again right?

A lot of kids know how to work electronics now a days so it could have been, no mommy let me do, I can do it. She walks away to finish something, dishes, putting food away, or making it. It is possible she didn't even see the DVD and I'd he got past the menu, he could have just pressed play. Its not that out of the ball park to where it can be a real fml.
