Today, at work, my buddy pulled up in his car. I handed him $40, and he handed me a bag. It must have looked like a drug deal, but he was actually just smuggling in the new Pokémon game for me. I'm 22, and a drug deal would probably have been less embarrassing to explain. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my coworker paid me back the $15 I let him borrow and we shook hands. Later, I was called into my boss's office, where he threatened to fire me for doing a drug deal in front of customers. The police are getting involved. FML
Today, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML
Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML
Today, my brother found 100 bucks in his coat pocket. He was so happy he bought 2 new games for his x-box. He was borrowing my coat. FML
Today, someone left their drug bag on the table in the lounge at my place, probably a friend, and probably a mistake. The next minute the cops knock on the door and force their way in. Immediately the cop spots the drug bag and cuffs me. It wasn't even my bag. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear. I thought it was a sweet thing to do, until I saw him open a slit in its back while visiting later in the day and removing a bag of weed. He gave me a teddy bear just so he could smuggle drugs past my parents. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop car. As I was fumbling for my license and registration, I handed the officer a half-empty bag of Doritos I’d forgotten was in my glove box. He thought I was trying to bribe him. FML
Today, I hid my weed stash in a bag from an expensive jewellery store. My sister walked into my room, went "Ooh, what's this?" and grabbed the bag. I grabbed it back and ad-libbed that it was her Christmas gift. Now I actually have to buy her expensive jewellery. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML
Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Its not illegal if nobody finds out.

Soooo... it would be illegal if someone did find out? And that would also imply that doing something in private makes whatever legal? All this thinking is making my head spin. *sheesh*

That sounds more like a Digimon name than a Pokémon name

That, my friend, is called being an Otaku. I'm a 21 year old still playing Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, and still watching Japanese anime. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Even if you're using the word otaku in the looser English slang sense, no, that's not called being an otaku. English use - fan of anime/manga/video games and Japanese culture in general (not just pokemon). Traditional Japanese use - obsessive fan, often to socially dangerous levels.

I know what Otaku means, you dimwit. If I didn't, I wouldn't be using it. Obviously I'm using in a sense for those that love anime, manga, and games, not the pedophelic way that the Japanese USUALLY tend to use it for.

Dude, I feel you. Last time I bought a Pokemon game I blurted out to the cashier that it was for my brother, totally unbelievable

You know what's more embarrassing then liking Pokémon? Paying someone to get it for u. No one cares, just go and buy it and leave, if u like it don't b ashamed. Otherwise u probably shouldn't still b playing if it bothers u that much. Hell I still play.

Man, with how little real happiness people have in this world, do what makes you happy. Life isn't about pleasing other people. Have fun and live in such a way that you have no regrets.
