Today, I was reading a book on paper for the first time in maybe a month. I had to stop at a word I did not recognise. Because I'm so used to using a Kindle, I tried to get the definition by pressing it. I had my finger on the word for a few seconds before I realised it was paper. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, I lost a book. I'd used my credit card as a bookmark. FML
Today, I pulled out a book and my bookmark fell out. My crush picked it up and a weird look came across his face. I then realized I had used toilet paper. Now I'm the girl who reads while taking dumps. FML
Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML
Today, while at work taking notes on a pad of paper, my boss witnessed me trying to scroll down on the paper, as if it was a touch-screen phone. FML
Today, I took a day off to read a book, but ended up with a headache from staring at a screen all day. FML
Today, I was reading a book, and my severe OCD makes it impossible for me to look up from reading if I haven't finished the page. This includes times like when my mother is frantically calling for help after falling off a ladder. FML
Today, I was reading a recipe list on my tablet. I moved a little, and one of my fat rolls came into contact with a button which closed the tab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You are a terrible person! Absolutely horrible! You are killing books by getting them on your freaking kindle! Books re going to be sold out all over the world because of you! And tht goes for everyone else that has a nook or a kindle! You guys are going to be the reason books stop getting put on paper! You people disgust me

think about this. if all books become exclusively digital then we wont be killing nearly as many trees to make them. trees will then mostly be used for their intended purposes which include giving off oxygen as well as firewood and jumping in front of drunk drivers :D

I own a kindle for one reason. I travel back & forth between home & my Mum's a lot, & I love reading on the train. I can't take books because there's not enough room in my suitcase & even when there is, it puts my suitcase well over the weight limit. But now that I've got a kindle, I don't need to worry about that.

Part of the reason I think e-readers are stupid. Plus I love the feel and smell of books. "BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD TO GET A DICTIONARY TO LOOK UP DEFINITIONS"
