Today, I'm moving. While packing, I realized I hadn't seen my cat in a few hours. I called her and realized she was inside one of the hundreds of boxes in my house. I accidentally packed my cat. FML

Today, I was drunk in a hotel lobby with some of my cousins. I went out on the patio to get some fresh air when I saw a black cat in the bushes. I went straight over to it and started to pet it. I realized too late that the black cat was actually a skunk. FML

Today, I ran over a cat while driving home. I tried to keep myself together but couldn't help but cry because of how bad I felt. Through my tears I failed to notice a porcupine in the middle of the road. Yep, I hit him too. FML

Today, my cat escaped through my front door. It was dark out, so I had no idea where I was going. I finally caught up to him in my neighbour’s lawn and I gave him heck for scaring me. It took me a minute to realize I was actually talking to a bush in their flowerbed. FML

is it an fml because you're ignorant and don't know that penguins live at the south pole, not in the polish mountains, and also are birds, not mammals?

Not all penguin species live in Antarctica. There are species of penguin that live in Africa, Australia, South America, and islands in the Oceania region. As far as I know, however, there are no penguins living as far north as Europe, and especially Poland, so the OP really should head back to school for some remedial bio and geography...

You're right in saying penguins don't live as far north as Europe - no penguins live north of the equator =] (not in the wild anyway). I'm also confused as to how a cat, which is furry with 4 legs and a tail can possibly look anything like a penguin...

It was a 9 hour journey? So you'd be tired and it's not as if one of us have ever mistaken one thing to be another. Really what the hell?
