Today, I teach English in Taiwan. I got two new students, brothers named Harry and Potter. People, they're children, not pets. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out there's a Harry Potter club at my school. My boyfriend is in it. FML
Today, a tourist from an English-as-second-language country taught me a new word. In English. FML
Today, my brother was suspended from school. He referred to himself as "Master" and two female classmates as his "bitches" in front of his teacher. He's ten years-old. What kind of family do I live in? FML
Today, I was watching Harry Potter. When all the students at Hogwarts started to clap at one point, I started clapping myself. FML
Today, I was reading the seventh Harry Potter book at an airport. A woman asked me what I was reading, so I told her. She said, "Oh, so you have children?" Since I'm in my early twenties, I was taken aback and said no. She replied slower and louder, "Oh, so you have a childlike mind?" FML
Today, my daughter finally gave birth to twin boys. She informed me that she named them Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck. My grandsons are named after Hobbits. FML
Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML
Today, my friends took my phone and changed all the contact's names to characters from Harry Potter. I have over a hundred contacts and no idea who I'm talking to. I've been texting Draco Malfoy for 4 hours now. FML
Today, a student told me to fuck off. I work with 3 year-olds. FML
Today, I was going through my daughter's contacts, except all of them had names from Harry Potter. I found the name "Mom." I was relieved I didn't have some silly name, until I realized it wasn't my number; it was her father's new wife. My number was under "Voldemort." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe next time there will be students by the name of Bella, Jacob and Edward in your class. But how would it fyl? Lol.

Barrie made up the name Wendy when he wrote Peter Pan yet no one makes fun of someone named Wendy. Harry, Bella, Jacob, Edward, and even Potter were all names before the fervor so I don't see why that should be comical.

Maybe in sequence it would be comical. However, my brother and I turned out to have the same names as a couple from a book. You never know who's going to write a story using fairly common names for their characters.

unfortunately, there are far too many people who think of children as a sort of pet. some of the names people come up with for their kids are awful. i think the problem is people try too hard, and try to make their kids into unique snowflakes - i guess bright orange snowflakes ARE different, but i bet the other snowflakes torment them nonetheless. i saw someone on facebook who had named their first kid Piper Cynthia. I mean, really? what an awful combination. (not paying out the names themselves, they just sound silly next to each other)

They could be family names. Or maybe the parents didn't think it sounded bad. I don't think it's bad myself.

I always thought the name "Jared" would be a little mean because it sounded a lot like "Jar Head". Great for a marine, not so good for a little kid in the south bronx.

I know a guy called Ben Dover. what's even funnier is that he is actually gay.
