Today, while e-mailing my dream college, I noticed you can see other people's profile pictures when I saw a lady I've met before. I've been using this e-mail account to communicate with all the colleges and universities. My profile picture is baby Elmo. FML

Today, I got an email from my cute teacher about reminding us to bring stuff for the next lesson. As a joke I clicked on reply and wrote about how I think he is so cute and handsome. Right then and there I clicked to go look at other messages. A little box came up..."MESSAGE SENT". FML
Today, I noticed that the roommate application site for college bugged when I first signed up, and my screen name and real name were swapped as a result. Since the site only displays the names of potential roommates and not our own, I've been unknowingly messaging potential roommates as Parakeet19 for about 2 months. FML
Today, I logged on to my Gmail account and to find that my brother had sent my math teacher a picture of Bigfoot peeing into a urinal. Using my account. FML
Today, I had a very important video call for my job. I hadn’t used the particular app in a long time so I hadn’t checked my screen name. Turns out the last time I used it was in March with my friends, and my name was "Euro Slut." My employers saw it. FML
Today, I realized that the guy I've been sending anonymous, dirty emails to knows who I am. My signature, which includes my full name, was automatically added to the end of every email. FML
Today, I finally exchanged pictures with the woman I've been seeing online for some time now. She replied, saying "Thats not funny. Some people actually look like that." I sent my real picture, and thought I actually looked pretty good in it. FML
Today, I was on Instagram and I sent a meme to my other account. Tell me why as soon as I switched over and saw my one chat notification, I got excited, then remembered I'd just sent myself a meme. FML
Today, I saw my mom's Facebook profile picture for the first time. It had all of my family members in it. I was cropped out. FML
Today, I was on Facebook when I saw a picture a popular girl I don't talk to had posted of her fake ID. She had used my full name and identical signature. FML
Today, I realized my online dating profile has gotten more views with no picture than it has with my picture. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

I can't imagine they would do anything more than chuckle and show it to a friend. Chances of them keeping you out because of a funny email pic are as low as my self esteem

"Alright, here's his latest email! I can't believe Elmo is thinking of coming HERE—wait, his profile picture is different! How do even know this really is Elmo?!"

"Educate Me" Elmo? That's a new one. Well let's get him into our university and see what happens.

This is kinda funny. I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying you deserved it because you didn't know but when contacting college or potential employers it's always better to have "formal" e-mail account. Hope they will be understanding OP

could have been SO much worse! Especially if you didn't realise others could see it! Don't worry OP

It's a profile picture. That in itself implies that it's for others to see...

it's time to start adulting you need an email that involves your real name and you only use it for the real business in your life, dealing with colleges, employers, creditors and such.
