Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML

Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML

How do you get to be 45 and not discover that you fear heights?

Heights are scary! There could be butterflies up there!

Do you have Lepidopterophobia or something? That was a good spelling bee word.

No, but a couple of FML's on the topic have been posted. I do have Apiphobia and you mentioned the "spelling bee." I'm not familiar with that species, but I fainted nevertheless.

Damn it. Change of plans: I'm sending you a box of bees for Christmas. Spelling bee, you know. It's like worker bee, queen bee, etc. The spelling bee refers to the intelligent ones, as opposed to the bees who just do physical labor (they call those Mexican bees).

Am I glad I didn't let it slip that birds creep me out, too! I'd probably be quivering in fear if you talked to me about the birds and the bees. You might have to come on over and hold me. :(

Wow, that sucks. For your kids, anyway. Pussy. Nah, I'm kidding, my mom has a fear of heights too, and it's not that bad, but still, I see where you're coming from. FYL, man.

On the bright side... you probably scared the hell out of your kids. Now you have someone to bond with over your newly found fear! Poor kids :/

That, and #48 has poor reading comprehension skills. The **** belonged to a 45 year old, the OP could have been 20. Sheesh.

We're all around 40-50 years old. You might be the only teenager on this site, actually. We're here to stalk young girls, but it looks like so far you're the only one. Women our age just don't compare to the likes of you. By the way, you should turn your blinds the other way, it lets more light in. And I think your dog wants out.

Erm... you do realise there are more people in the world than just teenagers and college aged students? I've read hundreds of FMLs from middle-aged people... why aren't they allowed to use it?

I think YOU have poor comprehension skills. The OP clearly said they were 45. "They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML"

well she was probably thinking she was still on the sign spinner FML lol don't be harsh. and FYI My Teacher gets on here from school and he's in his 30's or 40's and I figured this out after. AND I'M NOT 40, I'M 14! A lot of adults get on because they have more experience with life. The teen FML's just sound a little angsty, or crush doesn't like them back. and those are annoying because you can't have everyone. sorry if i trail off subject i'm adhd.... and plexico, you are by far the most hilarious commenter on here
