Today, I was giving a presentation at work, when I said, "But we could care less about that." My boss asked if I meant, "Couldn't care less." Wanting to avoid embarrassment, I tried to think up an excuse, only to end up blurting that it was my phone's auto-correct. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was talking to an attractive guy, but I was so nervous that I got tongue-tied and then blurted out, "Stupid autocorrect." FML
Today, I texted my boss, "I'm looking forward to doing you" instead of, "I'm looking forward to seeing you" thanks to a very unfortunate combination of my atrocious typing skills on a smartphone and an overzealous autocorrect function. FML
Today, while giving a brief presentation at work, I blanked out on what I was going to say. I tried to make a joke and tell them I'd had a brain fart, but all I managed to say was, "I farted." Well, at least they all laughed. FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend that I'm going to 'lick my professor's ass' instead of 'kick' due to auto-correction on my phone. FML
Today, I had an argument with my boss and tried to text a friend about it. I accidentally texted my boss instead. FML
Today, I was on a work call when my coworker made an accidental Freudian slip. Thinking I was muted, I muttered, "That’s what she said." I wasn’t muted. FML
Today, I confidently corrected someone in a group conversation. I was wrong. Very wrong. Everyone stared while Google proved me incorrect in seconds. I nodded and pretended I meant something else. FML
Today, while thinking about something cringe I did, I accidentally said, "Oh fuck!" aloud during someone's speech. The room besides me and the speaker was otherwise quiet. FML
Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

People who say, "I could care less," is somewhere near the top of my list of pet peeves. If you could care less then why don't you?

Couldn't agree with you more... Though I sympathize with them, It doesn't make sense to say it that way.. I figured that one out on my own.. Guess I'm just a smart cookie.. ... Sometimes.... Despite what my friends say for some of my actions....WHICH ARE AWESOME!! Anyway, yeah I agree with you.. Have a spifferific day...

It's funny but you should probably have just admitted it and said that WAS what you meant...you were probably under some pressure though

Your weren't wrong. Your boss just doesn't know the origin of the phrase. Grammatically it should be like your boss says: "I couldn't care less." That makes sense and all - but the phrase is a shortened form of a much longer phrase back in the old country (England). It was shortened to the now commonly used and misunderstood form that you correctly used: "I could care less".
