Today, every time I write the word "analyst," I can't help but giggle because it begins with "anal." I'm 24, and studying to be a conflict analyst. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, our outgoing boss told us about guy who's replacing him, saying he's very nice but very anal about things. Without thinking, I shrugged and said "Anal's not bad." Now everyone's calling me Anal-Girl. FML
Today, my work directory was updated to reflect my recent promotion. Due to lack of space, they abbreviated the title. I'm now listed as "Sr Anal". FML
Today, I went to my school to take my yearbook picture. I was wearing a shirt that said ANALOG on the front. When I bent in to take the picture, part of my shirt overlapped itself. Now I'm known as the ANAL kid in the yearbook. FML
Today, I'm a full-time Investment Portfolio Analyst at one of the largest groups. It has been my dream job and I worked my ass off. I'm one of the best analysts there and people like me. Also, I haven't slept properly for 3 months, without a single day off. I'm about to get mentally sick. FML
Today, during a job interview on Zoom, I tried to sound passionate and said, “I eat marketing for breakfast.” The interviewer then asked what I have for lunch. I panicked and said, “Analytics… and sometimes interns.” I haven’t heard back yet. FML
Today, after submitting my college application, I noticed that I mistyped "math enthusiast" as "meth enthusiast". FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML
Today, I finally noticed that my new coworker, with whom I have to share an office, starts every sentence with, "I mean…", then a pause, then says whatever he has to say. I can't un-notice it now, and it's like hearing nails on a chalkboard. FML
Today, I got a question wrong on an exam. The question started with, "In your opinion..." FML
Today, my colleague yet again misused the word "literally." It's driving me insane. I have to work opposite him and hear him say things like he's just "literally shit himself inside out." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I suggest you grow up before starting your career.

For the love of God! Where is your grammar? At least OP understands grammar!

#16, it wasn't even a question, but if he's asking how old OP is, it's 24. She clearly states it in her FML.

I'm surprised no one found this a little funny.

I'm not.

I guess it's a good thing you're not studying to become a proctologist or a lawyer then.

What's funny about those words?

Both professions involve working with, and looking at, assholes all day. If he can't deal with words that contain the word anal, how would he deal with looking at assholes all day?

I thought lawyers were the assholes

You can perhaps try writing it backwards. Maybe you will suddenly realise that it's not that funny of a word.

Did you laugh after writing this FML because you said "analyst"
EatZombies 10
I am 110% sure they did xD

Ah yes, immaturity at its finest.

Thanks, OP. Now, I am the one who giggles about the word, and probably I'll do it for the rest of my life. And you're the one to blame.

It doesn't make me laugh but it's how I remember to spell it.

Maturity is so black and white. Being a "grown up" means you have a very selective sense of humor. Things like these will help you have a laugh and enjoy whenever possible. Its better to live a life of jiy rather following a set of guidelines. Its the persons choice, no one elses.
