Today, I began to sign "I love you" to my boyfriend from across the room. I ended up just poking myself in the eye. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while making out with my boyfriend, I slightly opened my eyes during it and saw him with his eyes wide open, watching TV. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. It was going well until our braces got caught. Out of pain, I tried to pull away, which made my eyes water. Then I sneezed in his mouth. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were play-wrestling on the bed, when he started to tickle me. I tried to pull away but he pushed me back down. I ended up hitting my eye on the corner of the nightstand. His comment was "this is why you shouldn't struggle." FML
Today, while I was cuddling with my girlfriend, she looked at me and leaned in. Thinking she was going to kiss me, I leaned too. Just as we were about to kiss, she screamed "COW KISSES" and somehow managed to lick my eyeball. FML
Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, I was on a date and tried to act seductive and mysterious by slowly sipping my drink while making eye contact with him. I misjudged the straw’s length and location and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, I did something clever at work and I was telling one of the other girls about it. I said "Just using my noodle" and went to tap my temple but instead I jabbed myself in the eye. FML
Today, I leaned over my sleeping girlfriend, kissed her cheek and told her I love her. She punched me in the ear. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. He responded by fist pumping. FML
Today, my boyfriend elbowed me in the eye while we were sleeping. His excuse: "You shouldn't have stayed over." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I can picture it happened like this: • you made eye contact with eachother • you smiled at him • while smiling you slowly poked your eye • he was confused

Some people can just simply communicate with a look...

Their look is so old it hurts

That's why ASL is better. There's no risk of poking yourself in the eye like there apparently is with Auslan.

I told this to my sister and she said "does that mean she's single?" *facepalm*

I wondered how you could accidentally do that if you're using sign language but then I realized you were basically playing charades

I don't know if clumsiness is your fault but you could've signed it further away from your face.

Surely you could have just pointed at yourself - like at your chest - to indicate "I" rather than at your actual eye...

How long was your pen? Signing from across the room is a difficult task. No wonder you poked yourself in the eye.

You mean you pantomimed? The sign for I Love you is a simple one hand sign where the hand never nears the face.

Even if you didn't know that and tried to break it down into three signs, it'd still never come near your eye.
