Today at camp, we were choosing teams for capture the flag. It's embarrassing to be chosen last, but today I learnt it's even more embarrassing to not be chosen at all. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my softball game, there was one spot left for center field. The coach had to choose between me or the girl who forgot her glasses and was blind without them. He chose her. FML
Today, I was chosen as King for our winter formal. Even after I won, nobody wanted to dance with me. FML
Today, in my class I was nominated for the guy with the worst hairdo. I don't know what is worse, the fact that I was nominated or the fact that I felt let down when I did not win. FML
Today, on my first full day on Marine Corps boot camp, my drill instructor pulled me and another kid in front of 200 other recruits to vote on who was uglier between the two of us. I won. FML
Today, I was made fun of at work by my mom and my supervisor. I work at a kids' anti-bullying camp. FML
Today, I found out why I was always picked up last from school. My parents didn't want the other parents to find out I was their kid. FML
Today, I went to our school golf banquet, after being with the team and practicing every day for a few months with them. When it came time to get the certificates, all the names were called out. Except for mine. When I asked the coach where my certificate was, he said "Who are you?". FML
Today, I found out I didn't get accepted into a program I was nominated to attend at work that all other applicants with less experience than myself did. I found out when they asked if I had gotten the acceptance email. They didn't even bother telling me I was rejected. FML
Today, I accidentally tackled my own teammate during a rugby match, so our coach made me walk the 5 miles back home instead of driving me home with the rest of the team. FML
Today, the summer camp I work at had its annual scavenger hunt, wherein the counselors hide and the kids look for us. It was my first year there, so some of my colleagues showed me the "best hiding spot." Two hours later, still undiscovered, I realized they just wanted to get rid of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I believe that makes you the Free Agent who takes flags from either side and is invincible to tagging. You also have to yell "FREE AGENT, FREE AGENT" as you run around waving the captured flags. If the other players find it disruptive, perhaps they can assimilate you into one of the teams. If it's not TOO much trouble.

You probably could've said something, OP. Or perhaps there was an odd number of people and last pick would have to sit out?

The same thing happened to Sarah Millican once. She mentioned it in a comedy programme, but I actually found it more heartbreaking than funny. FYL, OP.

Just wait. It will be better after HS when you are expelling in your career and run into them at a stoplight, you in a Mercedes you bought in cash and one of those assholes in a shitty car they bought used

I know how it feels I never got picked either, I just made fun of everyone else who acted like they were awesome when they really sucked lol

Just sit on the sideline looking sad. The when someone grabs the flag and starts running, take off sprinting towards them. Line them up and viciously shoulder tackle them. Get up, do the Ray Lewis running out of the tunnel dance, and throw in a Rack Flair "Woooooooo!" for good measure. You will no longer be picked last.

Lol, I had people argue about what team they wanted me on. More specifically both teams wanted me on the opposite team. I know that feeling.
