Today, after months of being pestered to do so, I finally read the first Harry Potter book. I hated it. Upon hearing this, my girlfriend posted the fact on Facebook, where I immediately received tons of abuse and eventual shunning by my friends, family, and coworkers. My girlfriend just laughed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I have never read any of the Harry Potter books. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML
Today, my daughter turned 11. Since she LOVES Harry Potter, I decided to write her an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. When she saw the letter, she screamed and showed me. When she found out I wrote it, she told me she hated me, started crying, and stepped on my foot. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML
Today, my "friend" told me I was weird and irritating. Yet she has an unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter, hates people in general, and has a Facebook for her cat. Yeah, I'm the weird one. FML
Today, my brother-in-law brought his new girlfriend over to meet the family. Things went south real quick after she went on a tirade about what terrible parents my wife and I are for letting our kids keep all their Harry Potter memorabilia. Now he’s mad I threw her out. FML
Today, I saw my first FML I published on Facebook. Everyone was bashing me, thinking that I was the problem and the cause for my ex-boyfriend wanting to do his own thing. I used to sit in his room being ignored for days straight while he gamed. Not once did I bitch about his gaming. FML
Today, my daughter wouldn't stop yapping on about not being able to register on the new Harry Potter website. The amount of whiny jibber-jabber emanating from her cake-hole made me want to boot her from our family tree, and I had to resort to booze to wash the pain away. I'm a terrible parent. FML
Today, I found out there's a Harry Potter club at my school. My boyfriend is in it. FML
Today, It's been a few months since I started reading the Harry Potter books to my daughter. She told me a list of all her favorite characters. I didn't have the heart to tell her that every single one of them dies by the end of the seventh book. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So you're getting shunned for having an opinion of your own? Shit, the people you know are assholes!

I can't believe how many people have said he/she deserves this. They have their own opinion and no one deserves to be shunned and humiliated by their loved ones just because of a different taste in books.

I agree with 69. The Beatles have some of the most boring, simple songs that all sound the same, yet they're absolutely worshiped by their fans.

FYL and **** everyone who disagrees. The HP series is good, imo, but it's still a matter of opinion.

What happened to humour? Everybody in this comment section is so serious! Yes, it's obvious everybody has different tase. Most of the ''shunning'' was more that likely jokes. Lighten up haters!

How can anyone dislike Emma Watson? I can see people not getting The Big Bang Theory, but hating on Emma?

I've never even read the Harry Potter books or seen the film, nor do I intend to. Sorry that people are behaving like idiots just because you didn't like it. They need to grow up, everyone has different opinions.

No book or movie can live up to years of hype. Its a kid lit book after all. Writers develope over time. Dont make the mistake of buying your own books. I suggest you try to keep your opinions to your self when talking to those people. Unless you like to troll
