Today, I woke up to balloons, streamers, and my roommates yelling “SURPRISE!” Unfortunately, they got the wrong day. My birthday is next week, and now I'll probably have to pretend to be surprised again in seven days. FML

You are correct, but SO MANY of these "FML" entries are unbelievably lame. Like, "Today, I got dressed in the dark. I noticed later at work that one sock was grey, and the other a slightly different shade of grey. Tragically, it was too late to go home and change FML." sheesh.
