Today, I tried to make a move on the cute guy who sits opposite me at work. In theory, I was going to start a game of footsie with him. In practice, I screwed up and managed to yank his computer's power cable out. He lost his unsaved work. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at work, my mouse cursor kept randomly moving all over the screen, and messed up an entire day's attempted work. As I was leaving, I overheard one of my co-workers saying he'd plugged a wireless mouse adapter into my computer, and had been trolling me all day. FML
Today, I was mad at my boyfriend, so I yanked the power cord for his computer while he was gaming. Turns out, that fried part of his computer and now it won't turn on. He broke up with me, even after I apologized, and offered to replace the part. FML
Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML
Today, I was at the library, working with some classmates on our major semester project. I accidentally killed power to the row of computers by me. I've never had so many enraged faces looking at me before. FML
Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a Post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML
Today, I was colouring countries on a map on my computer whilst listening to music. I was almost done when, whilst swinging my legs to the beat, my leg caught on the computer’s power cord and pulled it out. I was so caught up in the job I hadn’t saved in a while, so all my progress went up in digital smoke. FML
Today, at work, I was walking to the back office, and I didn't know my manager was following me. After I walked through the door, without looking, I reached behind me to close it. Instead of grabbing the door handle, I got a handful of his crotch. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation at work but accidentally spilled water all over my laptop. I tried to dry it off, but it wouldn't turn on. I had to give the presentation awkwardly using my phone and everyone took the piss out of me and my shoddy performance. FML
Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom to take a piss. While washing my hands, I heard someone taking a large dump in one of the stalls. When he was finished, he left the bathroom without washing his hands. Turns out he was the IT guy I called to fix my computer. He sat down on my chair and used my keyboard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Probably not the best way to get someone to like you. Not to mention, playing footsie with enough force to pull the power cable out is really just kicking them.

Hey, there's a thing called your mouth, use it to tell him you like him. This isn't kindergarten or middle school. Sheesh.

Are you a programmer?

We are prudes because we think playing footsie with a colleague is immature and stupid? I would ask my fiancé what he was doing if he tried playing footsie, much less some random coworker.

So prudish, not wanting a coworkers-not friend- feet on you. A lot of people can't even stand feet. Footsie with a partner? Yeah I'd say that's cute. Footsie with someone other than a partner, not even a friend? Yeah, creepy.

Judging by the location, and my name, I'll have to say you have a very clever name!

You got his attention... But now he probably hates you.

To be fair if a cute girl wanted to get my attention playing footsie with me is the right move

How about just sacking up and say "Hello" in theory it's known to work a hell of a lot better than beating around the bush.

dumb move... just ask him out already

Footsies? Really OP? FHL because you may have just jeopardised his job. If the boss gets upset, then you both may get in trouble. But question though. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP AT FOOTSIES?! lol
