Today, I got to live my life's dream of going whale watching. Apparently my true life's dream was to get extremely seasick, sunburned to a crisp, and pay $60 to see only seagulls in the end. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overcame my debilitating seasickness long enough to have a shower and take a breath of fresh air on the cruise ship balcony. Then as a reward, a passing seagull shat on my head. FML
Today, after a stressful series of events, I went to the beach to unwind. I sat on the sand, breathed in deeply and closed my eyes, trying to find some sort of inner peace. Then a seagull shat on me. FML
Today, after an 8-month wait, I went on my big vacation. The beach, the sea, the dive, the jellyfish, the allergic reaction, the hospital. FML
Today, I boarded my very first cruise, in order to relax and unwind for week-long vacation. However, when I got on the ship, I found out that I get seasick REALLY easily. FML
Today, after pulling an all-nighter, I fell asleep at the beach. My friends took the opportunity to bury me in the sand, place food all around me, and wait for a flock of hungry seagulls to attack me. To top it off, they taped it all. FML
Today, I bought a delicious $17 lobster sandwich at a restaurant on the beach. The seagull who zoomed in and ripped it out of my hands as I was about to take the first bite seemed to enjoy it very much. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went on a 1 day cruise to the Bahamas. It happened to be on the same day of the worst sailing conditions. We spent 6 hours throwing up together. Him into the sink, and me into the toilet. We spent $200 to see the inside of our cabin's bathroom. FML
Today, during a boat trip with my boyfriend's family, I got seasick and went to the side of the boat to puke. A current rocked the boat so badly that I fell overboard, prompting a panicked rescue and my boyfriend's mom muttering that I'm a pathetic attention whore. FML
Today, I got bitch-slapped by a walrus at Sea Life Park. FML
Today, I found out the hard way what it feels like to have a seagull poo on your face while cycling. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Going whale watching is kind of lame for a "life dream", but whatever floats your boat i guess.

That's exactly what I was thinking...

Just because it's lame to you doesn't mean it IS lame.

Erm... I know we are entitled to our own opinions, but to go whale watching is someones life dream? I don't think that's all the suitable. I thought a life dream was supposed to be hard to achieve...? Or was I totally off target?
Katiekhalifa_fml 28
No it doesn't have to be hard to achieve. It's just something you really want to do, and for OP it was whale watching. I mean, my life dream is to get tattooed by Corey Miller. We all have 'em, so who are you to shit on someone else's dreams?

You should probably change your life dream, considering the sea-sickness. FYL OP :(

Now at least you'll have a nice tan to show off.. Once you've finished peeling, or until the redness goes away

Usually if you get burnt to a crisp you don't get a tan at all because it all peels off. There's basically no upside to this FML.

Well you can't expect nature to perform on cue just for your benefit.

But you'd expect people who organize the whale watching event to know when and where the whales will show it's their job to track them down at least thats what discovery channel taught me.
ZombieRockets 8
Whoa. Discovery still does shows on animals? Weird.... Its been ages since I've seen one on there. And no company guaruntees whale sightings. Its impossible when they travel as much as they do. However, usually if the tour is offered "in season" you at least see SOMETHING.
