Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML

Today, I spent the whole day doing a 500 piece puzzle. The last piece didn't fit. FML
Today, I have in my living room a Rubik’s cube I’ve been trying to solve for over a year. I just got home and it was sat on the floor solved. Apparently my wife gave it to her nephew to play with and he solved it in about four minutes, then got bored. He’s 8 and I’m 33. FML
Today, halfway through assembling a toy kitchen for a birthday, I realized the instructions made no sense and half the screws looked identical. I still somehow finished it and felt triumphant until the kid opened the oven door, the whole thing tipped sideways, and I had to spend the rest of the party holding it together with one hand. FML
Today, it took me a full ten minutes to finish on the toilet. I was babysitting at the time, and it took the kids those ten minutes to destroy the kitchen and shave the cat. FML
Today, I spent hours putting together a beautifully intricate jigsaw to give to my grandmother, who likes to frame them and hang them on her wall. Just as I was about to finish it, I discovered my dog chewing the last piece. FML
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that claimed to be "easy to build in minutes." Four hours and multiple arguments later, I realized I had misread the instructions, and half the parts were upside down. I'm pretty sure the furniture won this round. FML
Today, I bought a massive new puzzle to take my mind off of things. Hours later, I realized there was a missing piece. Frustrated, I looked everywhere for it, only to discover it was stuck to the bottom of my shoe, and I'd been walking around with it all day. FML
Today, at work, I had to help a teenager who was stuck in a toy car for kids, and no, it was not in one piece when she finally got out. FML
Today, I completed a jigsaw puzzle. Almost. You see, there's a problem: One of the pieces is an exact duplicate of another, and the actual missing piece is… gone. So there's one empty space and one piece that doesn't fit. Words cannot describe how irrationally angry this makes me. FML
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that boasted "easy, step-by-step instructions." Three hours later, surrounded by mismatched screws and a confusing diagram, I realized the only thing "easy" about it was my decision to ask my dad to come round and assemble it for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

Maybe some people just aren't good at puzzles, not having anything to do with their education.

yep op doesn't even know how to spell *than
bluegoldfish 7
they spelt it right, i think you just don't know how to read. but maybe op missed out on an education cos her principal was spending all the school's money on doughnuts...it happens.
babyyappld 7
moderators can change spelling. it could've been "then" and was changed to "than"
perdix 29
Good one, bluegoldfish, I liked the story of the principal that had no principles.

Puzzles aren't for everyone I agree, but they were only 10 pieces!

@69 - I hope you were joking. Because if not you can take your political correctness and shove it up your ass. Censorship is wrong. I'll insult whoever I want! The OP is STOOPID!
IbanezSprinter 0
retarded is the proper term although it can be used incorrectly. Mental retardation is the correct term, "mentally challenged" is the socially acceptable term.

I read FMLs on my iPod. While I was reading this thread, an ad popped up at the bottom for spelling/grammar check software. I just thought you all should know.
LyricaSilvan 29
69, I just love how you're telling someone else not to make insults, just after calling said person an idiot. Good job on that hypocrisy.

Dyslexia makes it difficult to read words, not difficult to see images.
tweetbaby14 18
it's funny how so many people don't know what dyslexia is and continue to use the word any way. well, no, actually it's kind of sad now that I think about it... that's almost as bad as when someone told me they thought the word ditz meant carefree and free-spirited. people these days.
BuhxritNAYY 5
to 227: me too. learn a word before you say it. most people use "ignorant" wrong - a lot of people think it means rude, but it actually means, in an easy sense, stupid. it means not knowledgable about something, naive.
