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

How does that make her stupid? A slutty I guess, but not really stupid...

how does her taking pictures of herself make her stupid? your probably just jealous because your not comfertable enough with your body to do the same.

Or maybe because this is FML and not Facebook.

I'm uncomfertable with your reasoning( and spelling skills). it has nothing do do with being comfortable with one's body. it has more to do with how much attention you want from random people on a website that you, most likely, will never really speak to again after one conversation or whatever they want. all in all she's an attention *****. and I have a feeling I will be called fat and be told to put my own picture up instead of my cousins, so for that I say this: I'm not fat I'm pretty thin, and I don't have to prove anything to you because I know what I am.

232 - Are you sure you're not? Seeing as you can't comprehend the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. DUUUUR!
tweetbaby14 18
232, you might want to avoid calling others dumb until you learn when to properly use the word your( shows possession). you're( the words you and are put together) a fool. :)

In all fairness it was the child's game. I'm sure he did the puzzle before. But only ten pieces? Wow. lol

That's what I was thinking, but it's still sad that Op couldn't figure it out.

That's a little bit sad considering even if you had to go through every piece, to try and match it up to every other piece, it shouldn't have taken more than 15 minutes of trial and error. . . *first corner piece* - Only 9 pieces that can fit into it. . .Once you get the first, only 8 more than can fit into its other spot. . . *7 pieces left, total*. . .etc etc

Honestly this is the only strategy that can be employied. Op either just stared at it and hoped it solved itself, or has 5-second memory loss.

Way to overreact to a clear cut joke. You just proved blondes are incompetent with your failure to comprehend basic humor.

141, writing "your dumb" isn't likely to help the impression of blondes. just saying.

I'm going to guess you're not getting an A in English class? maybe a D minus at the most.

I don't, 5 minutes is slow as well, especially considering he has most likely done it before.

Holy shit you are ******* stupid, there are even ******* monkeys who can solve that puzzle and don't blame it on the kid, because he is probably is also as stupid as my shit.

50, is that all you do is correct people's simple grammar mistakes? Some of which were probably accidental...
