Today, I bought a freezer mug that looks like it's full of water. I've been playing tricks on my friends by throwing the empty cup at them. After doing this a few dozen times, my 83 year-old mother came to visit. I played the same trick on her. The joke's on me. My Dad filled the cup. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to pull the old "bucket of water above the door" prank on my brother, but the bucket didn't fall when he opened the door. He noticed it, took it down, then pinned me to the floor and waterboarded me with the ice-cold water. FML
Today, my parents were having a Christmas party. They went out to get the vodka in our garage fridge, only to find most of it was frozen. Knowing vodka doesn't freeze, they soon realized that I had been taking some and refilling it with water over the past two months. FML
Today, I jokingly mocked my dad about his age. He jokingly poured milk all over my head. FML
Today, I wanted revenge on my college's drinks machine. For the past two days, it forgot to release a cup before pouring my coffee. This time, I had planned ahead; I put my money in, entered the code, and quickly inserted my own cup. It gave me hot water. FML
Today, I got up early to prank my family. I put a bucket of ice water on top of a door frame so whoever walked through would get an icy surprise. After I was done, I went back to bed. I woke up groggy and disoriented like always and walked right through the doorway I had rigged. FML
Today, I had made a cup of my favorite coffee, which I had recently found to be discontinued. To accompany this last cup, I went to get a muffin. As I turned around, I see my son pouring the cup out because I out put it next to the sink and he thought it was dirty. FML
Today, at an annual summer family event, I showed my family a magic trick I'd practiced for weeks. The grand finale involved making a coin disappear. Instead, I launched it into my uncle's soup. He digged it out with his spoon, then looked at me and asked if it was for keeps. FML
Today, I found out where the puddle in the basement came from. I thought the freezer was broken, but no. My mom is running what can only be called a death camp for vegetables in there. She buys them, then forgets about them until they turn liquid. FML
Today, as a joke, my husband filled my son's airtight water bottle with seltzer water before we went to kindergarten. The top blew off when he tried to drink, hitting him in the nose and spraying him with cold water. FML
Today, my dad was making coffee for the family. Half-way through, he excused himself to the bathroom, so for a laugh, I discreetly poured a load of salt into his drink. When he served us, I drank a mouthful and doubled over hacking. My dad barked, "I wasn't born yesterday, son." FML

he could've thrown the "water" just by picking it straight off a table, not when it was already in his hand.

88 you're a retard. People in my country speak like that as a joke, not seriously. It's not someone trying to be cool.

"a few dozen times"? If you're old enough to have an 83 year old mother then you're way too old to be such a douche. Funny once, not dozens of times. Dad was teaching you a lesson.

Ouch. Maybe you should've checked it first before trying to play a trick on your elderly mother. ;)

Today, I realized kids have no sense whatsoever,other than me, why the **** would you even freakin consider throwing a cup at your grandma?! If she's 83 than-no offence-she's probskys going to pass soon. Get a life, don't throw things at people.

today i realized people who are too stupid to understand an FML shouldn't be allowed to comment. they didn't actually throw the MUG. they pretended to toss water out of the mug.

Its one thing to throw things at your friends, but why would you throw ANYTHING at your 83 year old mom? ydi!!
kk611 0
you are just rude. why would you throw those at people, let alone your 83 year old mother?

seriously #3 thats what I was going to say. It should be obvious that there was a sudden weight difference.

Op, are you eight or something? Who pretends to throw water on people THAT MANY TIMES. YDI for being immature.
lem0n_fml 0
Um. The OP doesn't mean he actually THREW the mug at people. He just pretended to toss the "water" in the mug at them. And if you quickly pick up a cup and make a throwing motion, you might not notice the weight difference fast enough. I can't stand how critical everyone is here.
