Today, I spent all day handing out flyers advertising my services as a psychic. I got only one call. The caller wanted to inform me that I had misspelt the word "psychic" on my flyer. She was right. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML
Today, after all of the business cards for the car dealership that I work for were printed, the phone number was wrong, and the lady got so pissed about getting so many calls that she told them that they had won a free car. I had to tell dozens of ecstatic customers that they hadn't. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML
Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelled the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML
Today, while at work at a maternity and baby clothes store, I was supposed to send out an email about our "Beat the Clock" sale. After it was sent to over 500 people, I realized that I'd misspelled the subject line. It read, "Beat the Cock Sale." FML
Today, I had to repeatedly explain to an increasingly angry lady that no, she couldn't get an ultrasound by using a referral letter from her psychic. FML
Today, I got a call from an ad agency offering me a job. I was so excited, because I've been looking for work for a few months now and really wanted to work for them. An hour later, they called apologizing, because they'd made a mistake and offered the job to the wrong person. FML
Today, I got a missed call from a lady at an employment agency asking why I hadn't turned up to an information session for a potential job. Yesterday, the same lady told me the job position was canceled. FML
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You also misspelt "misspelt," by the way. But that sucks, OP.

as long as all the letters of a word are there, the average intelligent adult brain will still recognize the word without ever actually reading every letter. thought. that might shed some light on why it took so long to get noticed.

Liecake, the spelling is correct for the English-speaking world outside the US. There is a vestige of this spelling in American English: what's the past tense of "spend?" Get that answer correct and you get a very small cookie.

Oh! I know this one! Is it spent? With my luck it somehow isn't.

Doc, I thought she was pointing out that there should be two esses instead of one. So "misspelt" instead of "mispelt".

D'oh! Red, you're right. I assumed it was another person pointing out how English English is different than American English. I made an ass of you and med.

DocBastard - actually, that spelling is not correct anywhere in the world. It's "misspelt", not "mispelt".

I cannot believe that in this day and age people who claim to be psychics aren't shot to death on the spot.

Better to pretend to be a psychic than to reveal yourself a psycho. =

Why would you think that? The belief system behind psychic readings and fortunetelling isn't vastly different than those of many mainstream religions, and those religions are doing quite well in this era. I'm not saying I believe in psychic powers or anything. I'm merely pointing out that enough people do to keep the profession alive, just like Christian pastors, Muslim imams, and the missionaries, evangelists, and other spokespersons of various belief systems, including atheism, humanism, etc. Hell, even ghost hunters can make a decent living these days.

YDI for thinking you are psychic and spelling psychic wrong in the midst of your failure.

Psychic isn't the only thing you misspelt. You appeared to misspell the word misspell as well as the word flyer.
