Today, as a means of getting over my abusive ex, I decided to write his name on a piece of paper and light it on fire. As I lit the paper up, I noticed the marker ink had bled through it. The paper is gone, but his name is forever engraved on my desk. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was moving. While packing, I found an old photo that had been laying face down in the bottom of a drawer for some time, and some of the ink transfered to the drawer lining. There is now an image of my ex-girlfriend's face permanently burned into the bottom of my nightstand drawer. FML
Today, I decided to light a candle in my room. Since fire intrigues me, I put an old brochure into it. Paper burns fast, and now my carpet has a big, black burn mark. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me by writing "we're through fat slob" on my forehead whilst I was asleep in permanent marker. FML
Today, I got piss drunk. Being a tattoo artist, I came to the intoxicated conclusion that I could save much more money doing my own tattoos on myself. I now have my ex-boyfriend's name permanently on my thigh. It's not even spelled right. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me by writing a breakup note with permanent marker on my newly painted bedroom wall. FML
Today, my therapist told me to write any negative thoughts that I had on a piece of paper and then set fire to it. When I lit it in the trash can, huge flames broke out and I had to throw the trash can out my window to keep from setting my house on fire. FML
Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML
Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a picture of us together because he wanted to have something to burn when we break up. FML
Today, I lit a used tissue on fire in my room. Eventually, the fire became kinda of large (it was a big tissue) and when I blew it out, it fell on the carpet. Now I have a burn stain on it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sandpaper will remove it, then use some touch up varnish to make the sanded patch blend in with the rest of the desk. Congrats on getting rid of an abusive ex, though!

Use windex. I know it sounds weird, but I used it on a wooden door covered in permanent marker, and it worked.

In most cases, you can remove permanent marker from wood (and possibly other surfaces, though I've never tested any) by going over the permanent ink with a dry erase marker and then wiping away with an eraser.

if it's like sharpie ink try acetone. not nail polish romover but 100% pure acetone. that shit gets everything out. but if it's a really nice real wood desk use hair spray. soak the area with hair spray and slowly but surely use a old cloth n blot away the area repeating the hair spray to pull the ink out of the wood. :) hope I helped Hun.

Draw over it. Draw Godzilla. Rampaging Tokyo, with laser beams coming out of his eyes. And a dragon flying overhead, with grizzly bears shooting semi-automatic weapons. As innocent citizens are running away and jumping off the edge of your desk. It shall be epic.

I'm pretty sure it's not actually engraved unless you wrote his name with a knife. Just get some turpentine or kerosene or methylated spirits - that'll take it off in no time.
