Today, I teach English in Taiwan. I got two new students, brothers named Harry and Potter. People, they're children, not pets. FML

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?

Good thing you don't teach in the US where all the "darker" names are like Shaquanda, lareisha. You'd probably have a heart attack.

But how do their names have anything to do with that?

Are those their real names or their English names? Most people who are in English classes in Asian countries have names they chose to go by during those classes, and sometimes the teachers aren't sure of their real names. Regardless, it's not your problem even if it those are their real names. How is this an FML? How does this freakin' affect you?
