Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I babysat a 10-year-old and we played Pokémon. It was my first time playing, so he showed me. I ended up winning and the kid started crying and told his parents he hated me. They decided not to pay me for the night, and now I'm out of a job. FML
Today, my husband bought a Pokémon game and started playing it in bed. It's like I'm married to an eight year-old boy. Why can't I have a normal man, who reads books or even plays normal games for an adult? I can barely look at him without feeling ashamed for settling with such an overgrown child. FML
Today, at work, my buddy pulled up in his car. I handed him $40, and he handed me a bag. It must have looked like a drug deal, but he was actually just smuggling in the new Pokémon game for me. I'm 22, and a drug deal would probably have been less embarrassing to explain. FML
Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML
Today, my mom and I somehow got into a serious argument over the ethics of capturing and training Pokémon. FML
Today, I bought How To Train Your Dragon and the cashier started complaining how her kids keep demanding dragon stuff and that mine will start after they see the movie. I don't have any kids, and I didn't have the courage to tell her I was buying it for myself. FML
Today, working my job, I had to explain to a kid that Pokemon is owned by Nintendo and they don't make it for the Xbox. Upset by this, he took hold of my leg and started biting. I'm also suspended, because his mother complained when I kicked him off me. FML
Today, I tried buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML
Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Pokemon is great.. me and my siblings used to watch it all the time, waiting impatiently for the next episode. If they give you weird looks just say that your little brother has been dieing to get the game so it is a birthday present! You get the game and don't have to be embarrassed to go in there :)

Now... Wats wrong with a bunch of people (13+) playing pokemon? A lot. U could be doing productive things, like getting a job, schooling, or some part of a social life. Get a life. Totally agree with 36

Because it's totally impossible to do all that AND play Pokemon. *rolls eyes*

So what are you doing on FML when you could be "doing something productive"? Heck. Why bother with sports or anything not "productive"? Cause life would be shit boring and kinda pointless.

I have a great social life and make good grades. Guess what! I watch pokemon everyday. You, my friend, are a dumbass.

Every school has a group of social freaks who think they're "socially successful". But there not. And most of them play pokemon. See a connection here?

The only connection I see is that you and 36 are both assholes.

#78 : So you think every Pokemon players are "social freaks". Well, they're not. You actually got the point : they think they're socially successful. If they're happy with this, what's the matter then ?
