Today, I was fixing some photos for a client. I spent 20 minutes trying to Photoshop an unusual black dot out of a picture. Only then did I discover it was a black dot on my computer screen. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a spot on my computer screen. I tried to use my finger to rub it off. Then, I tried using my nail. Then I tried to windex it off. I continued scratching at it with my nail. A half hour and one scratched screen later, I realized the spot was part of the webpage I was looking at. FML
Today, my boss asked if anyone knew basic Photoshop, and I volunteered because I once edited memes in high school. Two hours later I was sweating through my shirt trying to remove a reflection from a company head shot while my coworkers slowly realized I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. FML
Today, I was playing around on Photo Booth, using weird effects on pictures of myself. I clicked on one and thought to myself that it was a really ugly effect. Then I noticed that it was set on normal. FML
Today, I cleaned my computer screen for the first time in ages. When I turned it on a few hours later, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why the brightness was suddenly so painfully high. FML
Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML
Today, I had lunch with friends I hadn't seen in years. We took a few group shots with my camera, and I went home and downloaded them to my computer. Seeing them on my monitor, I noticed a yellow spot on my black shirt, so I looked down. A big, dried booger was stuck there. FML
Today, I saw my reflection in the computer screen and I thought I looked quite nice. I tried to take a screenshot. FML
Today, my 3 year old daughter decided to put black nail polish over the webcam lens on my laptop because "It wasn't all black, so I decided to fix it." FML
Today, I had a conference call with a client. I was feeling confident and had been preparing all morning. Right in the middle of my presentation, I hit the wrong button, and my webcam feed turned into a close-up of my face, which had a giant zit right in the middle of my forehead. The client didn’t say anything, but I could see their eyes glued to it. FML
Today, I was messing around on my laptop by drawing on the screen with a marker pen. When it came time to clean it off, it wouldn't budge. Now I have a full beard and mustache etched permanently on my computer screen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

After the first minute wouldn't you notice that the paintbrush wasn't covering the dot?

You should have realized it wasn't on the picture a long time ago. FYL for being so stupid.

@ Everyone saying "How is this an FML?": "Today, I wasted five seconds reading the worst FML ever. Then, I clicked on it and spent another minute reading comments and writing my own disparaging comment. FML."

Your severe technological retardations do not constitute an FML. You are the epitome of all that is wrong with glocalization in this world; in terms that you take something meant to be humorous and fun and turn it into another stadium for yourself. Therefore, you have not only become a complete waste of everyone's time, but in addition you have proved yourself to be an utter fool.

Wow. Really? REALLY? You're that dumb? Did you not like zoom in and out and move the picture around and wonder WHY THE BLACK DOT DIDN'T MOVE WITH IT??? Seriously. Ya'll are lame.

Not really an fml, but wow, you're an idiot. But no worries, we all have our blonde moments, no offense.
