Today, in biology class, I kept seeing a fly or a mosquito buzzing past my face and I kept trying to swat at it… only to realize that it was a ceiling sprinkler that was about 10 feet away. I have no depth perception. FML

Lack of depth perception blows, I feel your pain.

The problem here is that the sprinkler kept buzzing past your face, more than your depth perception. When something like that happens, you should tell someone or ignore it well.

ok op my girlfriend and I have no depth perception and it doesn't work like that. You can see distance judging by it's size compared to it's surroundings. it just means you're eyes don't align properly. also it "buzzing around" is completely unexplainable. movement is not a side effect of no depth perception

exactly, I only have one functioning eye but I can still judge depth from relative size and overlaying objects (though it sucks everything is in 3d now)

I know I hate 3d movies now. theirs no difference other than its blurry

The movement he was talking about could possibly be him just looking around and just the glance of it makes it look like it's moving. That happens to me all the time, I think something is moving because I barely got a look at it or I moved to fast but it was perfectly still the whole time. #21

Hahahahahaha, c'mon that's a funny part of the day, not bad!

How can you know to ignore it if you don't know how far away it is?

lmao #7 yeah that's bad news. i wonder if Mith over here was on anything other than his/her chair...

Agree with #10. Don't worry, it happens to me a lot too, but slightly less noticeably.

XD This is like, the best FML I've read all day, mostly because I see you as my friend Zach, who would then procceed to ask someone if said fly was bothering them too.,

ydi for calling it a "fly mosquito". it's one or the other, not both.

It was translated wrong, don't be so quick to judge.
