Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, after a long night of studying, my roommate and her friends decided it would be fun to throw a mini party in my room at 7am. FML
Today, I was walking with my very attractive friend who I like a lot. She then told me that her roomate wouldn't be home tonight, and if I wanted, I could come over and study history. I didn't get it. I told her no thanks, that I was covered, and it was chem I needed to study. An hour later, I understood. FML
Today, my friend wasn't responding to my whispers in the library, so I walked over and very slightly moved his chair. At that exact moment, the librarian walked in. Regardless of our efforts to tell her anything, she got us banned from the library. FML
Today, it's been five days since my roommate last talked to me. Although she's not communicating with me verbally, she's excelling at non-verbal communication: slamming doors and drawers, and watching loud videos, all while I desperately try to study. FML
Today, after a long day, I decided to study. I was so tired and anxious that I couldn't. When I actually started, a neighbour started making a hole in his wall. FML
Today, I was doing homework in the living room when my mom came in and started blasting music and cleaning. When I asked if she could turn it off so I could study, she bitched at me about "My house, my rules." She also has a rule that we can’t do homework in our rooms because of too many distractions. FML
Today, I listened to my roommate and her friend struggle with their math homework for an hour. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I'm a math major and repeatedly offered my help. They'd rather fail math than be around me. FML
Today, while studying for a big test at the library, some idiots started playing hide-and-seek. After putting up with their snorting and giggling for nearly an hour, I finally lost my shit and told them to knock it off. I then got kicked out for causing a disturbance. FML
Today, I tried to get ready for a final. I had about six hours to study. My girlfriend decided to help by jabbering loudly in my ear about celebrity gossip, noisily cleaning the office and losing my notes, and getting in a screaming argument with her mom over the phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI. If people are working let them be. Interrupt them only to offer a hot beverage not more than once an hour.

Here is a Simple Plan to avoid such situations. When you see someone's bussy don't talk to them. I mean if one person thinks something it's their problem, but when more agree you are the problem

You know, this is one of those times where you can learn a really valuable lesson. I experienced something similar, except it was work related. I didn't take things seriously enough, so no one wanted to work with me (it was school, I was 14, but I remember it to this day). Let yourself learn the lesson.

This should be a wake-up call. ...but it won't be. Noisy people are like people with bad B.O. They can't even hear their own noise.

Why's that a FML for you? Maybe she's just not confrontational and didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you to STFU since you obviously can't take a hint? Just apologize and reflect on your behaviour so you can be more considerate in the future. Or maybe she just needs a really quiet space to study and focus, no need for hard feelings I guess.

Well if people are studying and you keep interrupting them, then I don't blame them for not wanting to be around you. YDI
