Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, whilst tuning my guitar, one of the steel strings snapped and hit me in the face. Now I'm on my way to my first date with the girl of my dreams, and I'm wearing an eye patch and have a thick red line across my face. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML
Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Today, I was trying to impress a girl I like by showing off my guitar skills at a party. I'd hyped it up all night. When I finally started playing, I’d forgotten most of the chords and lyrics to the song, and ended up just strumming "Wonderwall" while humming off-key. She left halfway through the "performance." FML
Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. FML
Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my friend, one I walk down every day, and I saw a really cute guy nearby. I felt like I looked better than usual, so I turned my head to offer a smile, and walked right into a pole. The impact was strong enough to send me falling to the floor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yep - pretty obvious you don't show off to a girl by trying to impress them. Girls like guys who can do things they attempt to impress them with, or things that the guy can actually do. This is probably the 15th FML written on here that I've seen that reads a guy trying to impress a girl. Now - you WERE trying to tune your guitar quickly, that's okay. But - you should've stayed still, at least.

Playing guitar to impress girls should be an "FML" in itself. So weak.

There is a great skit on Family Guy about guys that play acoustical guitars. You should watch it.

Family Guy sucks terribly, and no the OP shouldn't watch it.

This kind of idea sounds good in your head, but parading around the streets like a traveling carny only scores the effort you put in, right?

a word of advice. girls tend to like REAL MUSICIANS who play the guitar. if you have to whip out your guitar in order to get girls and that's your only real use for your guitar, you don't fall into that category. become a musician, play songs that you mean, and if you don't suck, you'll get girls. getting laid is a perk for being a real musician, it shouldn't be your reason for being a musician. trust me, we generally see through it, and it makes you look desperate.

Thank you, now I don't have to make a comment myself. You said all that I intended to and even better, because you said it from a female perspective, which is clearly the one in power in respects to this situation.
