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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, I spent my lunch break trying to open a jar of pickles that had been stuck for weeks. I finally gave up and asked a coworker for help. He tapped the lid once with a spoon and it opened immediately. I'd been fighting a pickle jar every day for a month. 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 struggled to open a childproof bottle, which, by the way, had the instructions printed on the lid. FML.
Today, I attempted to open a water bottle. My hand started bleeding before I was able to get the cap loose. FML
Today, I tried drinking "Smart Water" for the first time. I couldn't figure out how to open the bottle. FML
Today, I tried to open a jar by tapping the lid on the counter. I tapped it so hard, the jar shattered, and I now have more spaghetti sauce on my pyjama pants than in the pot. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I see years of sadness and starvation ahead for you op. Really how bloody spoiled does a child have to be to never learn how to even open the container to, much less actually prepare their own food?!

I know I'm way late to this, but anyway... I would normally be inclined to agree with you, but just last night, my husband walked up to me with a can and our (pretty decent) manual can opener asking for help. He was definitely NOT spoiled as a child, in fact, his parents are some of the most practical/frugal people I know. But, they did have an automatic can opener, and I guess all of the canned food he ever used in college was either opened/cooked by me, or had one of those pull tabs. He's also well-educated and quite intelligent. My point is, if you've never used something before, it might not be that obvious, and it probably has nothing to do with being spoiled-automatic can openers aren't that expensive. But after watching half an hour of youtube videos? And not noticing that the can had a pull tab? Okay, OP was struggling a bit. YDI
