Today, after I sent around 300 entries to a competition hosted by a deodorant company where the main prize is a trip to Hawaii, spending around 5 hours sending the entries, I won a deodorant. 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 reminded that I'd submitted a short story to a writing competition months ago when I got an email saying I'd won second place. I excitedly forwarded it to friends and family. A few minutes later, another email arrived, explaining they'd contacted the wrong person. My celebration lasted exactly eleven minutes. FML
Today, after submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML
Today, I won a gruelling fitness competition, only to find out the mystery prize was a voucher to get 10 free spray tans. I'm black. FML
Today, I've been relentlessly refreshing my email. I'm anxious and expecting the results of a competition. It's my preschooler's playdough competition results. What has my life become? FML
Today, I won a free year's supply of coffee in a contest. Turns out "a year's supply" meant 12 coupons for small coffees, one per month. The giant ceremonial check they gave me was worth more than the prize. I hope the publicity they got out of me was worth it. FML
Today, I was supervising a written exam, which took place in a really warm room. Half of the two hundred participants has probably never heard of deodorants. The other half used probably the whole can this morning. I had to stay in this inferno of stench for five hours. FML
Today, while at work, I was trying to locate the source of the really bad BO wafting around, when I realized I'd forgotten to put on deodorant this morning. I have 5 hours of shame left to go. FML
Today, I had to use antiperspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML
Today, I was apparently tired enough to spray silly string under my armpits rather than deodorant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

134 well ya I guess, but it's different when you still live here because you've done all the exciting shit, but when I stayed up in Utah just for one summer I missed home so I feel your pain.

That sucks FYL OP. At least you tried your best that counts for something. :) Sadly somebody who sent in ONE entry probably won the trip to Hawaii. :(

I personally don't see this as an FML. YOU sent in the entries, YOU should've known that you had a high probability of not winning. Plus it's a deodorant company, they're going to want people to use their product XD

That's what happens when you play unfairly : )

That stinks..
mozeltov 7
No it doesn't, cause the deodorant will suppress the stink
DocBastard 40
Yes, thank you. You ruined the joke.

C'mon Doc, you knew a pun was coming sooner or later.
DocBastard 40
I know. I just hate it when people ruin jokes, even when they are as simple and obvious as this.

I wasn't ruining it, I was enhancing the joke

Actually, you kind of screwed it up..:3

30- I accidentally "upped" your comment. Keep in mind that if I could, I down it more than once.

Well the chances of winning are very slim only with 300 entries Still not a sentence.
LunaDragon 10
I think what the poor zap was thinking when he 1st read the fml was that the op sent one entry and had a chance out of 300 entries, which are slim odds. But in his haste to be one of the 1st commentators he fuged it up. And #48 your user name goes well with this thread.

1 in 300 would be pretty amazing odds for a trip to Hawaii, so I don't think that's what he meant. But you never know; he doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.
Kukua 5
Oooh he meant the chances to win are slim EVEN with 300 entries. Only took me 3 or so re-reads. :P

He's being sarcastic you dumb f*cks
cherry26272627 6
sarcasm doesn't = stupid

That stinks, with these contests it's RIGHT to keep your GUARD up until you are SURE of your chances. These judges for these contatst are usually a bunch of BRUTs. Hawaii is nice however the sands are SOFT and DRY, with a nice temperate climate. Unlike other areas where the climate is very ARRID. Well, at least you got something and they didn't completely BAN you from winning! Excuse me as I go upchuck....

You put way too much thinking and effort into that comment that remains not funny
DocBastard 40
Sevrandy - why do you care so much about being on the first page? Are you that much of an attention ***** that you just need to be noticed?
cherry26272627 6
The THING that bugs ME about this COMMENT is the CAPITALIZATION of RANDOM words and the FACT that they seem to THINK that they are an EXPERT on the SANDS and CLIMATE of Hawaii.

Do you fight crime with those puns?

It went right over your head didn't it cherry?

Looks like 93 didn't get it

Cherry - um...should I bother? I, that is to say you, um...I mean...what Loserman was doing was... Oh, **** it. If it went that far over your head, it's hopeless.
benderbot19 0
Loserman is an expert on the sands and climate of Hawaii. WTF N00b??!
