Today, I only just found out that the abbreviation "lbs" is actually short for pounds. I've been saying "labs" my entire life. I'm 21. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, at the age of 22, I found out that Wednesday has another D in it. Literally no one ever corrected me. FML
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML
Today, I sent my resume to a place where I hoped to work at. Since the job requires me to be doing work on the run, I put on it that I have a laptop. The only problem is that I always thought it was "labtop." I didn't learn the correct spelling until my daughter called me an idiot, she's 6. FML
Today, I found out that I've been using a "Trick Scale" that my family bought to boost my self esteem so I'd think I was losing weight. I found this out at my physical, where I learned I have actually gained ten pounds. FML
Today, I found out that I've been pronouncing "quinoa" wrong for years. FML
Today, I was mistaken for an 8th grader because of my height. I'm 32 years-old. FML
Today, I learned that I've been saying a word wrong my whole life and all my friends have been too polite to correct me, when I found out that "Segue" and "Segway" are pronounced the same. FML
Today, stepping on a scale for the first time in years, I had to lift up my stomach to see the number. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm surprised that nobody ever corrected you before. You must have some crap friends.

I mean I don't really understand the abbreviation either.... But I'm sure you're not the only one who's made that hilarious mistake OP.

On the other hand, why is "pound" abreviated with "lbs"?

'lbs' is short for 'libras' which is pounds in Latin.
