Today, I went to orientation for college. They gave us a name tag and I tried to figure out how to put it on for a few minutes. After struggling with it I realized it was a sticker. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally got my nametag. I had been using other people's names like Maria and Caie for a week, so I was happy to be called my own name. I put it on and got to work. Ten minutes later, I was called into the office. I got laid off. I got to wear my nametag for 10 minutes. FML
Today, it was my first day. HR handed me a badge with my photo and… someone else’s name printed in big letters. I spent the whole morning being introduced as “Greg” to people who said, “Nice to meet you Greg.” By lunch I’d corrected maybe 3 people and reinforced everyone else’s assumption that my real name was Greg. FML
Today, I bought a new purple shirt and decided to wear it to this charity function I was going to. I thought I looked pretty good in it. Then I got home and realized I left the sticker on. I had an "XL" sticker on my boob all night. FML
Today, at my internship, I was told we were going to do something fun. I was excited, until I found out that this "fun" thing was labeling 500 folders. FML
Today, I was volunteering at the library. A kid came up and asked me to help him peel the back off his sticker. It took me so long the kid left. Determined, I still tried to peel it off. Fifteen minutes later, the librarian came over, looked once at it, and told me it wasn't a sticker. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, I put on a new pair of jeans and went out. Halfway through my errands, I realized the long sticker with my size was still on the back. I walked around for quite a while advertising my embarrassing waist and leg measurements. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt for a job interview and put it on just before leaving. On the train, I noticed the shop's security tag was still attached. I had to spend the entire interview trying to keep my jacket closed, wondering how I'd missed the chunk on plastic stapled to my shirt when I put it on. FML
Today, it was picture day at my school. After I got home, I realized my shirt was on inside out… and backwards. FML
Today, I was taking a placement test for the new college I am going to. After the test and picking up a few numbers, I left with great pride. I opened the door and started walking out. I then realized that I had walked into the closet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm still wondering how OP completed high school...
Ch0sen 13
Judging by the truly spectacular standards of most high schools in this country, he could easily have been a straight A student. God help America...

Some of the biggest idiots in the world are in college. Seriously. Going to college has no meaning anymore, especially since people are getting "degrees" at "OMG Phoenix University". I mean whatever, they're going to school, that's good... but we have no idea what kind of "college" OP is talking about.

Then OP looked around again and realized it was university of phoenix. It was an online orientation...

It might have been clown college!

He might actually be to dumb for clown college.....unless his act is to screw up peeling off a sticker and slamming it on your chest.

A few...minutes? Please tell me you're not studying anything explosive, caustic, or viral.

Or to the orientation, I should say.

He barely made it into community college. Seems like he was sheltered from dangerous objects like stickers and had to be homeschooled before this.

The SAT's generally don't have that section testing you on the mechanics of stickers, unfortunately

Quack.

Don't be too embarrassed, you were probably really excited or nervous, these things happen (:
KrazieKleo 13
Still!! Theres no excuse for the OP to not figure that out...being nervous has nothing to do with being stupid lol
Ch0sen 13
On the contrary, I believe nervousness does tend to slice in twain the IQ of most of its victims. What other reason is there that our politicians sound so idiotic during interviews? Surely not because their brains were void of content to begin with...

7 - nervousness can temporarily make you 'dumber' where all thought processes just sort of freeze. Suddenly that high speed rail is out of order and what you have left is a single lane detour over a rickety bridge.
KrazieKleo 13
Wow, I'm speechless. Seriously...how do you not figure that out by just looking at it?

Overused, yes but relevant to the FML.

How old are you?
simonsaysYDI 8
Most likely older than 17 but younger than 35. Glad I could help.
pokefan813 16
9 - How does age have anything to do with it? I have a 4 yer old cousin that could tell the difference between a pin and a sticker. So what's your point?

One of the funnier mental images I've had in a while. Haha.

How did you think it stuck? Like the old fashion licking stamps?
SqueakyChipmunk 22
**** stickers. I like pin-on buttons. Until they stab you. ******* traitors.
fylx100 19
I wonder how OP was thinking how the sticker works? Like did he think a lanyard went in it? How else would you wear it? Besides, he could have just looked around. Oh well, I understand, people have there moments all the time. It happens to everyone lol

If you didn't know it was a sticker at first, exactly how long were you looking for the pin? Jesus.
