Today, my family got into a massive argument about whether or not battery-operated toothbrushes are considered electric toothbrushes. Everyone is in their own room and refuses to talk to each other. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out everyone in my family thought the red toothbrush was theirs, and that all four of us have been using the same toothbrush for months. FML
Today, I found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Today, my husband and I got into an argument over him not brushing his teeth. It ended with him snapping his toothbrush in half. He's 52. FML
Today, I had to beg and argue with my boyfriend to get him to take a shower and brush his teeth. This has become a recurring argument now we're confined together. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I refused to share a toothbrush with her. FML
Today, my husband and I got into a fight because I refused to let him use my fingernail to clean the plaque off his teeth. FML
Today, my parents had a loud argument over who is worse in bed. FML
Today, my partner got mad at me for forgetting to turn off the bedroom light when coming back from brushing my teeth, and has chosen to sleep in our spare bedroom over it. FML
Today, I bought an electric toothbrush because they're supposed to be a lot healthier than regular ones. My crazy religious mom immediately called me a whore and said she knew what I really wanted to use it for. So that's $80 in the trash. FML
Today, after a long talk with the kids, I finally got all the chores around the house done early so we could have a fun family weekend. My wife decided to be a wet blanket and insisted we needed to deep clean the already clean kitchen. Three arguments later, everyone is sulking, and I'm working in the kitchen alone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a silly argument. Of course battery-operated toothbrushes run on electricity. Therefore it is reasonable to call them "electric toothbrushes". If you wanted to be more specific you could call them "battery-operated toothbrushes", but when it comes down to it, they still run on electricity. It's just a matter of semantics. It's like arguing that a square is not a rectangle. A square IS a rectangle, just a specific subset of rectangles where all the sides are even.

You do realise that a rectangle that has all sides the same length is in fact... a square, right? It's not semantics, it's a fact. I think you meant to say polygon. Even so, no poligon transforms itself in a triangle just by having all sides equal in length.

No, they meant what they said. A rectangle must have 4 right corners and two sets of parallel sides. A square is 4 right corners with 4 equal sides. In other words it is 4 right corners with two sets of parallel sides. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

#56, I don't understand what you are getting at. I don't think you read what a wrote carefully; I wasn't talking about triangles at all. It is a matter of semantics because you could say "square" or "rectangle with 4 sides of equal length" and it would be the exact SAME thing, just a different way to say it. You could even call a square a rectangle since a square IS a rectangle. Square is a more descriptive word, just like you could call a "battery-operated toothbrush" an "electric toothbrush" but "battery-operated toothbrush" is more specific.

Sure you understand, editing your comment and replacing 'triangle' with 'square' and playing it 'cool' now doesn't really help. #57: no, they didn't. She just edited the reply after...

You do realize that FML only gives you a limited time to edit your comments, right? Your comment was over 2 hours after mine, so there is no way I could have gone back and edited it. It's totally understandable to misread a comment and think you saw triangle when it wasn't there, but don't go and blame me for it. I guarantee you I did not say triangle. In fact, I did not even edit my comment.

"#57: no, they didn't. She just edited the reply after..." Nice try covering your mistake but, since they posted at 10:28 a.m. and you posted at 12:51 p.m., I know they didn't edit. They would have been well outside the whopping 2 minutes you get to edit a post on this site. You messed up, the classy thing would be to just admit that.

I don't have the energy for this. Ok, my mistake. Didn't realise until now how similar 'traingle' and 'square' really are.

"Everyone is in their own room and refuses to talk to each other" sounds like a pretty ideal family model to me

There's not a lot of 'wisdom' in your family. Amirite? No? Okay I'll stop.

To tell you the tooth, the root of the problem is your family needs to brush it off. These puns were not acci-dental

the only reason you deserve it is for having such an immature family.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
How does one deserve something because of their family being some way? Did I miss humans learning some method that would allow a baby to pick which womb it's born from and to what family? You can't deserve something based on the behavior of anyone other than yourself. What you said follows the same logic that throwing a ten year old in jail because their father is a serial killer would. The only reason the OP would deserve this is if they were involved in the discussion and are pouting in their bedroom like the rest of the family.

Anyone else notice that the category is intimacy!?!

They most certainly are. Chemical energy is still energy.

Now I wonder what happens when you discuss politics XD
