Today, my friend told me how she crept out last night to hook up with her boyfriend. At one point, she said she "snack" out, so I corrected her by saying it's "snuck". My boyfriend snorted, showed us in a dictionary that it's actually "sneaked" and called us "fucking idiots". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I snuck up on my girlfriend to give her a kiss. Only after I planted a big one did I realize it was not my girlfriend, or even a girl for that matter. FML
Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house because I have an extra key. I snuck into his bed with sleep with him and noticed how soft his skin was. Turns out I had been feeling up the girl he was sleeping with and he was in the bathroom. FML
Today, my boyfriend's parents visited us. When everyone was chatting in the room, I needed to go to the bathroom. I got up and wanted to walk away when I sneezed, and farted at the same time. I thought they didn't hear it, until my boyfriend's brother said, "That wasn't just a sneeze was it?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were finally alone and things were starting to get intimate. I was on top of him trying to be sexy, when in my excitement I giggled and called him a "silly girl" by accident. FML
Today, I was bitched out at 2 a.m. by my parents, for trying to "sneak out." I was sneaking out of my bedroom to take a crap. FML
Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house at 9am to surprise him on our 1 year anniversary. In the process, I gatecrashed another celebration he was having with his second girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I snuck into the bathroom together at his house for a quickie. Just as we unzipped our pants, his step-dad knocked on the door. Panicking, I jumped into the closet to hide. When his step-dad came in, he went to put some towels away. In the closet. FML
Today, I caught my best friend in bed with my current boyfriend. Apparently watching movies naked is "the new in thing". FML
Today, I called my boyfriend during his lunch break. He started to place his order at a fast food joint, and trying to be funny, I started moaning sexily after each part of his order. I eventually realised I was on speaker when I heard snickering in the background. FML
Today, I walked in on my boyfriend and my best friend making out. She claimed he was just tasting her lipstick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Both are acceptable. "Snuck" is more common, in my experience. It's like "hung" and "hanged." Hung was actually added to the dictionary later, as many people thought "hanged" sounded awkward and improper.

Judging by your grammar OP, I'm not too surprised he called you guys, "******* idiots."
OhDearBetrayal 25
I agree. OP appears to have become a tiny bit comma-happy while she was writing this
LaColombianita 26
Ahhhh! Comma splice D:
nofearjenshere 12
I, think, OP, has, great, grammar.
TheNewGuy03 29
I read and re-read the OP's post, and I didn't see any comma splices. #7's comment, however, does have one. :D |the pedant|
dontpanic_fml 32
This. There is nothing wrong with OP's writing; #7's is blatantly incorrect.
LaColombianita 26
I think 7 did that on purpose... Perhaps

What's the point of correcting her grammar? Also the periods go INSIDE the quotes, I thought you should know miss I know everything about grammar AKA comma lover

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBplQmbqNmg Your bro is almost as dumb as Jennifer Garner. I say "almost" because unlike Garner, he wasn't stupid enough to challenge someone more intelligent on national television.
OhDearBetrayal 25
45- Oh my, did I really forget to end my statement with a period?! Good heavens, my only option now is to slip into oblivion. How dare I point out the observations I came across when I read OPs FML? Its not like this is a comment board, right?
OhDearBetrayal 25
Oh okay sorry I didn't catch on to that^.^

I don't see how this is an FML. You have bad grammar. Go to school and pay attention in English class. Fixed, right?
Discombobulated9 12
Snuck does actually mean Sneak. There is literally no difference between them and their meanings.
comedybreak 20
You illiterate *****. -_- Since when do periods go outside of quotation marks? Third grade grammar, learn it.
llamafish 25
Maybe if you had learned to READ in first grade, you would know when the periods go outside of the quotation marks, because you would have actually READ the comments preceding yours.

Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

Correct!!! There wasn't one single comma out of place. Nor was there an extra one.

He's a grammar nazi.
Shrike 24
And you're still learning English. So the hell what?
nofearjenshere 12
Damn, calm down. It's not like I said, "He is a grammar nazi lets beat him with a stick & shove a can of Pringles up his ass!" & I think it's pretty safe to say that we are all still learning English everyday.
Shrike 24
What's your point then? You can shove a can of pringles up my ass if you want. I'm not a grammar Nazi though. :/
nofearjenshere 12
My point is that I never said it was a bad thing for him to be a grammar nazi. And I don't wanna shove anything up anyone's ass...
Shrike 24
But if you didn't mean it as an insult, then it's completely pointless to state the obvious! What if I pay you? Would you shove a can of pringles up my ass for an OtterBox? Some Trident Layers? Maybe we can watch a romantic comedy first, or a movie about Snickerdoodles. Would you do it for me then?
dcg1375 7
Shrike-"So the hell what?". Sounds a little more like you are still learning English judging by that statement. And what's with the defensive aggression? Grammar nazi, non grammar nazi. Who cares. She was just making a joke in her first comment and then being jokingly sarcastic in her second. Nobody was attacking or threatening you. So why the irrational freak-out? Quit smoking or having drug withdrawals? If so I applaud you and wish you luck. However, no reason to attack Jen. Calm down. Take deep breaths and count to ten.
Shrike 24
You don't get ironic slang, do you? And yes I'm still learning. I like grammar Nazis because they help me learn. If she didn't mean her first comment as an insult, there'd be no point saying it period. How do you say it? "Derp"?
dcg1375 7
Oh and Shrike, quit thumbing up your own comments. Freak. It's obvious when immediately after you post there is a +1 and a -1 on Jen's comment. You just need to relax or lay off the steroid injections. Whatever is causing this irrational anger. Rub your earlobes and say ooosaw...
dcg1375 7
She can make a comment and mean it as funny sarcasm. It doesn't have to be an insult. And if you are still learning English because it's your second language then why did you accuse her as still learning. That makes no sense. Ok. To someone who is learning English as their second language: You have to learn that everything said isn't always serious. A comment made can be sarcastic too. Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish the two. Unfortunately there is not a "sarcasm" font. But don't get so angry. It's just FML. Everyone is here to have fun.
dcg1375 7
And thank you all of Shrikes friends for the thumbs down. :)

I find it funny how dcg1375 goes on a rant and spams the response to this comment. Obviously shrike and jen have different opinions. No need for him to step in to the disagreement and try to impress Jen by defending her. If she shoving Pringles up anyone's ass it's shrike cause at least he would take her out to a movie first.

Lol that comment's funny because if he were a grammar nazi 1. He wouldn't have to get out a dictionary & 2. He'd know that there is no such word as sneaked..."snuck out" is the correct term. I wonder what sort of dictionary he had?
poisonpiano 1
He was adding the comma.
sophiekat 19
I thought it was funny
Travesty911 14
I'll shove a can of Pringles up your ass any day ;)
sammiaaron 16
why go on rants with paragraphs of shit trying to be a knight in shining armor for some broad that left you here to fight her battle? it's funny how you're trying to teach him a lesson and knock him down , all while stating your opinions..all because he stated his opinions. "everyone is here for fun"....ya...so you lighten up too! tf?! bitching at people for doing exactly what you yourself is doing makes no sense at all

Both are acceptable. "Snuck" is more common, in my experience. It's like "hung" and "hanged." Hung was actually added to the dictionary later, as many people thought "hanged" sounded awkward and improper.
Shrike 24
Seems people using "your" instead of "you're" is more common too. But yeah, both are right. Sneaked is more proper though. Edit: like the person below me, #5.
Idonebeenhad 17
Yes, but that's completely different, #4
fadingaway 17
You're right about both being acceptable. It doesn't matter whether you use snuck or sneaked. Personally I prefer "snuck". It's not the same with hang though. "Hung" is used for inanimate objects (e.g. a picture being hung on he wall) and "hanged" is used when referring to the death of a human (maybe animals too) by hanging.
Shrike 24
I know #18, I was just saying. Though what he said about hanged and hung is wrong. Someone being hanged is a method of execution. You can never use "hung" in its place, that has a totally different use. English is weird but if you look stuff up, it's easy to learn. I go by the rule that if the older word isn't "archaic", I'll use that. But both are fine with sneaked/snuck. :))

Your is showing possession...you're means you are...they are two totally different things
eawesome11 0
Hanged is only used for the act of hanging someone everything else is Hung I'm pretty sure...
sambo1andonly 5
Hanged is the proper way. A "hanged" man is different than a "hung" man. Unfortunately, hung is what most people use in place of hanged.
Llamalamp26 11
Example for hanged "I hope you are hanged" Example for hung "He was hung for what he did"
Hiimhaileypotter 53
No, #180, it would be "He was hanged [not hung] for what he did." He's not a tapestry, he wasn't being hung up as a decoration.
Debstep95 11
Actually, hung and hanged are not interchangeable. I'll make this short and sweet. I HUNG the picture frame The man was HANGED for his crime. 4th grade English....

I've been saying snuck my whole life and it is actually a word. So your boyfriend's a '******* idiot' for not knowing that both snuck and sneaked are accepted..but 'snack'? Seriously?

MisterMichael 9
So technically, you've also been grammatically incorrect your whole life.
saksxalmo 20
#103-- No, they're both acceptable. Look it up. Webster's lists both "sneaked" and "snuck" as correct. "Snack" is just wrong. And as far as being "grammatically correct" goes... Most people make grammatical mistakes all the time and don't notice. It's usually not a big deal (as seen here.) It doesn't make you a grammatically incorrect person. In my opinion, it's more important to correct mistakes that can make a meaning confusing, like with your/you're or "snack", which already has a completely unrelated meaning...
Kukua 5
Uh, snack was obviously a typo.
jordanlite 16
How was it a typo when it was said out loud?
fmessiah 19
Sneaked in the UK, snuck in America, so in Australia both we can use both. You're all idiots!
3yellowzebras 19
Both snuck and sneaked are used in the UK

#10 Is chiefly right according to the OED: Forms: Also 15 sneke, 16 sneek, sneake. pa. tenseand pple.also (orig. and chiefly U.S.) snuck.
