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.

Wrong. 20 minutes? No. Way to exaggerate. Anybody in photo editing would figure this out in 10 seconds tops, 30 if they were brain dead. Fail.

After reading this, my first thought was "Yea, so what?" How the hell did THIS make it onto the site and my FML didn't? At least mine was an actual fml. Not this stupid, boring non-fml story.

Bullshit.

Fake. You would have zoomed in and moved around at some point and discovered that the dot did not change size.

Not so much a fml, but funny nonetheless. :)

I love how you comment on fmls that you believe are worthless. If it's SO boring, why comment? For instance, #3, you spent 5 seconds reading it, and another 15 or 20 seconds typing about how stupid it was. No one MADE you read it, and if it was THAT boring, you didn't HAVE to comment.

Internets were made for stupid arguments so people such as yourself, and tbh, myself, who have nothing better to do to complain. Isn't this what this whole site is for?
