Miscellaneous: Today, I tried opening a can for the first time using a manual...

Today, I tried opening a can for the first time using a manual can opener. I tried for a half hour to open a can of ravioli, mutilating the can in the process. Only after watching five Youtube videos on how to use a manual can opener did I notice the pull-tab on the top of the ravioli can. FML

Today, I tried to open a can with a potato peeler. For a minute I forgot what a can opener looked like. FML

Today, after complaining all my life that no one makes a decent can opener, I have realised that I have been using them the wrong way. I finally figured out that the cutting blade goes on the SIDE of the can not the TOP. I'm 57 years old. FML

Today, after years of being terrified of those biscuit cans that pop when you unwrap them, I finally decided I'd open one myself. I'm sitting in the hospital with a sliced hand from the lid and can feel therapy in my future. FML

Today, I attempted to open a water bottle. My hand started bleeding before I was able to get the cap loose. FML

Good morning!

Today, while I brewed myself a cup of coffee, my best friend began screwing around with a can opener like it was nunchucks. He looked at me and said, "Wouldn't it suck if-" as he flung it around and one of the handles flew off, directly into my testicles. FML

Today, I couldn't open a jar of mayo and my cousin had to open it for me. She's a 16 year-old girl and I'm a 24 year-old guy. FML

Today, at a local mini mart, I tried several times to open a door that clearly said "PUSH" by pulling it, much to the amusement to the customers and staff inside. FML

Today, I spent 2 minutes struggling to cork a wine bottle for one of my tables only to have them eventually point out to me that the bottle was a twist-off. FML

First time

By februarymarchapril - 04/02/2015 03:45 - United States - Austin

Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML

Man, I am soooo not inviting you to join my band of survivors if civilization collapses. You'd be totally useless. Hmmm, maybe we could use you as bait to distract the zombies. Yeah, that might work. Forget what I just said; welcome aboard.

Ok guys, look at the bright side..we're all geniuses compared to OP so lets try to figure out what happened here 1) either the can was upside down or OP is to dumb to see a GIANT TAB on top of the can 2) OP hit the top of the can with the can opener repeatedly like a confused caveman 3) watching one video about how to open a can just wouldnt do OP is so stupid that it actually took 5 videos just for him to understand taking all this into consideration I've come to the conclusion that Op is patrick star from the show "spongebob squarepants"
