Today, at a bus stop my friend told me that he loved me. I, reacting on impulse, told him how long I've wanted to hear him say that, and kissed him. Then I realised the look on his face. Turns out he'd said 'I need new shoes' not 'I love you.' FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on the phone with my best guy friend, who I have loved for years. I was talking about school and all of a sudden he said, "I love you." I flipped out saying, "Oh my god, oh my god. I love you too!" He responded with, "What?" He was talking to his mom, who was walking out the door. FML
Today, I told my best friend of 10 years that somewhere along the way I fell in love with him and I think we should be together. His response? "I appreciate the sentiment." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he loves me. Instead of saying it back, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he loved me. I asked why, and he said, "Because sometimes you look good, and you buy me stuff." FML
Today, I told the guy I've liked since we were children that I'm madly in love with him. He replied with, "Aw, I love you too, as a sister." I was speechless. He patted me on the back and said, "Better luck next time." FML
Today, my boyfriend of over a year finally told me he loved me. This revelation was quickly followed by "at least, I think this is how people feel when they say that." FML
Today, while at the supermarket, a complete stranger ran up to me, got down on his knee and confessed his love for me. He was obviously mentally unstable, so I gently declined. He started crying very loudly in front of everyone. I still don't have a clue who he was. FML
Today, I was texting my boyfriend about yesterday, where he told me how much he loved me, and he wishes we lived closer. I asked him if he really meant it. Turns out he was drunk, and had no idea what he was talking about. FML
Today, I told my crush of two years that I love him. He responded with an, "Aww, I'm sorry." and a pity hug. FML
Today, I finally had the guts to tell my best friend that I like him more than just as a friend. I was about to tell him when he excitedly told me that he met the love of his life yesterday. FML

Ok, all want to know is, how does "I need new shoes" translate into "I love you."? They don't even sound remotely the same. Then again, that's something I'd like to hear from one of my close friends at some point.

I totally know what you are going through. Mishearing people can make for such humorous predicaments. There's the time when I swore the girl said to me, "Take your pants off. I have to have you in my mouth." But it turns out that she really said, "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?" The other customers wrestled me to the ground and pummelled me mercilessly before I could get my pants back up. Over a simple mistake -- Jeez!

You guys need to help me with girls. I told the cashier I'd give her my small fry if she showed me her milkshakes. Needless to say, I had my McAss kicked.

Plexico has the ability to bring about a slew of McDonald's puns.

I think I inadvertently advertised for them. It was completely accidental.

A bit off topic... But one time... I asked the cashier at Mc Donalds what the chefs special of the day was, and I was violently ejected from the store. Needless to say -insert witty end to anecdote here-

I think I'm craving a cheeseburger now. Thanks, Plexico.

Sorry, Witchcraft, but if it is any consolation, I have a craving for McNuggets (the actual chicken ones) even though the angry mob kicked me in mine!

See now, you've just proved they didn't destroy your balls after mercilessly kicking them. You've got to have nuggets to be able to go back to that terrifying place! If you go, e-mail me a cheeseburger, please. :]

I don't blame you. One time, my friend said he wanted a pet crab, I got on my knees, looked deep into his eyes, and asked him to marry me. On impulse, of course. ;)

Ok to reply to the guy who is tryin to help and the people saying im wrong.... Ok i was slightly exaggerating, some guys will love to be friends with girls these guys are gay. but gay guys arnt the only ones, straight guys will also be friends with unattractive girls. Look.... im friends with a lot of hot girls, i talk to them everyday.... best friends for life? lol dont be ignorant people
Witchcraft_fml 5
Do these supposed hot girls define you as "friend" or "stalker"?
