Today, my husband quit his job as a university professor and picked up the graveyard shift at a rat farm so he could have more time during the day to play World of Warcraft. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML
Today, I gave the option to my boyfriend of 5 years to either quit World of Warcraft of lose me. He said WOW makes him happier. FML
Today, my boss, mentor, and gaming buddy, has officially quit. Turns out even he doesn't get paid enough to deal with this bullshit. FML
Today, my husband had confessed that we couldn't go on a vacation this spring because he was out of vacation time. He took two weeks off and pretended to go to work, then came home once I'd left. Another woman? No, some stupid shit in his video game called "Runescape Leagues." FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML

When you notice the drop rate of your wifes pants is getting rarer, you know you play to much WoW.
challan 19

If all my husband did was play WOW, I would be naked everyday.

These two idiots... I understood your joke...and it was awesome
TheDrifter 24
Odd, as you seem to have missed both of theirs.

Uhhhhh...not at all
chrissy2 28
I got the joke. Don't know about you guys

Wifey panties is a common drop no worries

Sounds like the stupidest idea ever.... maybe he just wasn't smart enough to cut it as a professor.
superminty 18
If you're smart enough to get to that point though (Masters, PhD) you think you'd be good to go.
Hiphuray4peas 27
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Getting a masters or PhD means you have decent grades and dedication, not necessarily intelligence. There are a lot of idiots in academia. There's just less stupid people involved in higher education than in the general population.

I'd say it's time for an intervention.

I'd say you never played Wow.

^ what has gone wrong with this sad, sad, society.
a_lenzmeier 11
First all, *have never. Second, no. Video games are not my forte. I prefer actual human interaction to weird dungeons and dragons type garbage.

Way to diss people who enjoy gaming and who have hobbies... If they like it, and it isn't having a negative impact on their lives or other people's/they aren't addicted, then what's wrong with it? If they are happy then isn't that the point?
a_lenzmeier 11
Man where to begin. I said "I" as in me. MY personal opinion. Where did I ever "diss" anyone for like it? I called it garbage because that's what I think but if people like it, good for them. If it tickles your pickle than by all means enjoy it. I was just replying to the person who said I had never played
Pleonasm 36
You demeaned them by saying "I prefer real human interaction to that weird garbage" (paraphrase.) Implying that people are weird for playing it and that they are socially inept etc- you're taking a stance over the issue and therefore putting these people below you. It's the "actual" and "weird" that does it for me. I'm done. Regardless of what you meant, what strikes me about your phrase, is that. Phrased differently it wouldn't sound so snide.

#87 - "Where did I ever "diss" anyone for like it? I called it garbage because that's what I think but if people like it, good for them." What? I think you're narrow-minded and annoying, but if that's the way you like to be, good for you :/ Sincerely a slightly offended GW2 addict

I play WoW but I would never quit my job just so I'd have more time to play. That's just ridiculous.

Why couldn't he just become a Professor of Vampirology so he could work nights and play WoW during the day? You're screwed now -- watch "Willard" and you'll realize why you can't **** with rat farmers.
ManInTheMachine 20
He may have a lot of bandwidth, but he obviously doesn't have much brainwidth.
crazytwinsmom 25
I'd never heard of a rat farm before. Are you sure he is actually working?
AussieChild 22
There are rabbit farms, alpaca farms, chicken farms, guinea pig farms... Makes sense that there would rat farms.
crazytwinsmom 25
For pets? Or food? For big snakes I guess.
TheDrifter 24
Both, plus likely lab rats (technically white mice) for scientific use.

That's is awesome! Alliance for the win!

I have no idea how you could deserve this. I think people just want to be assholes. Anyways OP, try to talk to him about it. :) Or be the bad cop and threaten to throw the WoW games out. Either way, he should probably think more about the job than a game..
SunAndMoon427 12
It's downloaded on the computer, you can't exactly throw it out...
SadGirl18 16
Throwing out is basically getting rid of them..
dragynfyre 4
It's a digital download from battlenet. It is attached to his account, so no matter how many times his wife "throws it away" he can just get it right back. Clearly that solution is pointless.
ICastillo 25
Hey think of the positive here at least he didn't quit his job so he can have more time to do drugs or have unprotected sex with tons of women..
