Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML
Today, I asked my manager what NSFW stands for. FML
Today, I started a new job. As I was introducing myself during the morning get together with the team, I forgot how old I was, and panicked. I ended up saying I was "twenty-fine." I’m 27. FML
Today, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. FML
Today, a student of mine used the phrase "well, you know, like back in your day" about defining "going out". I'm only 24. FML
Today, I tried to compliment a coworker on her new haircut, saying, “Wow, it makes you look so much younger!” She raised an eyebrow and replied, “You mean I looked old before?” My brain short-circuited and I followed up with, “No, no, you just… looked older.” Everyone within earshot laughed while I wanted to crawl under the desk. 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 realized that because of my construction job, I have spent such a huge amount of time with older, cynical guys that I keep uncontrollably using the phrase "fucking kids these days" regularly like an idiot. I'm 18. FML
Today, I confidently answered a question in a meeting, only to realize everyone was staring at me because I’d misunderstood it completely. My boss gently rephrased it while I nodded like that was my point all along. It absolutely wasn’t. FML
Today, I realized that customers at my work ask me, "Are you new or just stupid?" just as often as they did when I first started. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I had to explain to my mom what it mentions last week. I don't think it's anything to feel old or lame about. I don't know half the text speak things now, and I'm in high school.

Welcome. Try to comment on every FML, now that you know what it means -- the kids love to hear the ramblings of lame, old people.

It's not all that bad, now you've found this wonderful place. Bring out the cake.. What do you mean we don't have one, you wouldn't want to make it a lie now would you? Explore this place while the cake is being baked.

In case you still don't know. FML=**** my life. Do you want me to tattoo it to your forehead so everyone knows what a loser you are.

I'm guessing they showed you this app, and then told you to post your story.

Google and the Urban Dictionary app are my best friends. You should look into them lol
