Today, I was listening to some Michael Jackson through my earphones when I saw this really cute girl. Trying to impress, I approached her while doing some dance moves, not thinking about how unbelievably stupid it must have looked without the music. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the gym, I saw this really pretty girl. Trying to impress her, I started lifting with heavy weights. One of the weights slipped out of my hand. I then dropped the other one, trying to make it seem like it was on purpose. I dropped the weight on my phone. I squealed. She giggled. FML
Today, as I was about to walk across the street, a girl in front of me who clearly wasn't paying attention to the traffic, almost got run over. I grabbed her arm and jumped back. She was fine. I fell and fractured my arm and wrist. FML
Today, the girl I have a crush on texted me to go out tonight. When I got to her house, she peered at me quizzically and asked, "What do you want? Did I text you?" FML
Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML
Today, my mother and I walked past my boyfriend, whom she's never met. After we casually greeted each other and went on our way, my mother said, "He's cute. Who is he?" I paused for a second and replied, "That's my boyfriend." She then said, "Does he know that?" FML
Today, I found out that licking your very chapped lips while totally zoned out and looking in the general direction of a girl, will end up with you becoming the massive college creeper that everyone avoids. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, while I was removing my makeup with my boyfriend watching, he mentioned that he used to think girls were prettier without makeup on, but he'd now changed his mind. FML
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I had been talking to online for weeks. When I showed up, he looked nothing like his profile picture, and he spent the entire time talking about his ex-girlfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Grabbing your crotch while moonwalking?... Not always the best way to impress a lady.

I pressed YDI as soon as I saw "trying to impress." But hopefully she thought it was cute. :)

ummm I don't think so, pretty much every girl I know is totally normal and would make a good girlfriend.

Every story containing any version of the phrase "I was trying to impress..." is automatically a YDI FML.

That's subjective. As they pointed out, sleazy gold diggers are the new norm, so of course they think they would be good girlfriends. There are still some old school ones left, but they're getting rare.

Whats with the down ratings, you people support a pedophile? shame on yew

a) There is no conclusive proof he was a paedophile. b) Even if he had been, that doesn't have any impact on whether people should listen to his music. c) It's "you", not "yew". "Yew" is a type of tree. You, sir, are a blithering idiot.

^ In this thread: idiots and fake "oh things were so much better in my day" nostalgia, coming from a teenager (GothicAngel), another likely teenager with a fake DOB (thisismeFMLing), and a misogynistic douche I've had the misfortune of reading before (TheDrifter).
