Today, I carved a pumpkin for Halloween. I thought it would be cool to carve my name, and have it shine through onto the wall behind it. I figured that if I carved my name backwards then it would show up correct on the wall. My name's Lana and now my wall says Anal. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found a very large pumpkin super-glued to my car. It will not come off. FML
Today, I took my two kids to a restaurant with a graffiti-themed wall and took some lovely pictures that I promptly posted to family on social media. I didn't notice until a couple of hours later it said "ANAL?" in huge writing behind my dear child's head. FML
Today, I got piss drunk. Being a tattoo artist, I came to the intoxicated conclusion that I could save much more money doing my own tattoos on myself. I now have my ex-boyfriend's name permanently on my thigh. It's not even spelled right. FML
Today, I walked outside to find someone had egged my house and smashed a pumpkin onto my car. I later discovered that the perpetrator was my own 8 year old son. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I found a necklace that my parents had made for me. While looking at it, I realized my parents had spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I decided to make a place in my house for my friends to sign called “The Friend Wall." By sign I meant sign, not draw body parts. This afternoon I ate lunch next to a basketball-sized vagina and a monumentally large blue and purple penis. FML
Today, I saw the pumpkin I had put out for Halloween was starting to get mushy. I went to put it in a trash bag when it slipped out of my hands and burst over my knee. My dog heard the noise, ran into the kitchen and attacked me out of panic. FML
Today, I found out the hard way what it sounds like when you take the first letter of my first name, A, and put it with my last name, Hole. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That doesn't make sense... it should be right if you did it backwards properly.

Why is this post by Anonymous when you say your name is Lana? Don't think of the pumpkin as a mistake, but as an epiphany. 1. Put it in your window. 2. See who shows up. 3. Learn to love it up the poop chute.

I call bullshit. My name is Lana, and I try to avoid having attention drawn to what my name spells backwards. Even if you thought it would make it spell correctly on the wall (which is stupid enough), you still have a pumpkin that says ANAL and that's just asking for trouble. I'd say it's fake because I don't think anyone named Lana would do that.

Yes because everyone named Lana is EXACTLY THE SAME. Good job.

The pumpkin would say anal if you described it corretly, not the wall. Try again. LIAR!

This is stupid anyway. You'd have to have a ridiculously focused beam of light coming from within the pumpkin to have it show the words on the wall anyway. Otherwise it's just going to illuminate the wall all over. This is so fake.

Umm not true every yeah I do a back projection pumpkin like a graveyard on the front with ghosts on the wall in the back it works quite well as long as you have the pumpkin close enough to the wall

To project the name properly using a light source inside the pumpkin, the letters have to be carved out as "normal," not backwards or reversed (like in a mirror).

From the outside of the pumpkin it should look like what you'd see in a mirror. From the inside of the pumpkin (ie, when you're facing the wall you want to project it onto) it should look normal.

how about you now add an L at the beginning and make the l at the end into an exclamation point? ta-da.

So I can believe her when she said it happened. I'm a college junior and I still have issues with writing stuff backwards and all that stuff. I've got good grades, but how many people on a daily basis have to write something backwards? I would just chill out and stop saying she's stupid or retarded because like I said, if you write backwards or what not daily, then it's easy. Otherwise, it's a challenge.
