Today, I finally finished downloading a 60GB TV series after two weeks of waiting. Every single "episode" turned out to be Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up, on constant repeat. I almost respect the prankster's effort enough to not want to gut him like a fish. Almost. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was listening to music, talking to a boy I like on MSN. He asked if I could share the song I was listening to, so I did. It wasn't until I had shared and fully transferred it did I realise it was actually the fake radio show I record on my own, in a phoney Australian accent. All 6 minutes of it. FML
Today, I wanted to stream my favourite show illegally, but it turns out the website got shut down and anyone affiliated would face fines. It's a bit of a shame because I had one episode left in the last season. FML
Today, trying to get some much needed rest, I heard my neighbors fighting loudly. When they finally quit, they left a DVD on, directly behind my wall: Spongebob, with the menu tune on loop. FML
Today, I downloaded a movie that I already own on DVD, because I was feeling too lazy to get up and fetch it from the living room. I think I've hit rock bottom. FML
Today, I spoiled a TV show I've seen that a friend has started binge-watching by saying, “Episode 7 really did my head in.” His face turned from excitement to annoyance, and has vowed revenge, saying, "Great, I'm going to be anticipating episode 7 for the next few hours thanks to you, stop talking to me." FML
Today, I was getting my hair dyed in a salon and suddenly 'Never Gonna Give You Up' started playing in the background. Rickrolling isn't common where I live, so I just took some heavy psychic damage while everyone remained blissfully unaware. FML
Today, I decided to put my friend through the ultimate test of maturity: watching an episode of My 600-lb Life. He didn't even go ten minutes before he started making jokes. I didn't go much longer before I started laughing at them. FML
Today, I binge-watched an entire season of a TV show in one sitting and now I'm not sure what day it is. FML
Today, my girlfriend made me watch six hours of "Glee" with her. I don't know what I hate the most, the fact that I actually sat there and watched it or that I'm angry at Finn for breaking up with Rachel. FML
Today, the satellite radio at work went on the fritz, playing one song over and over. Management wouldn't turn it off, though, because then customers would miss out on all those upcoming-sale announcements that run intermittently. Meanwhile, I got to listen to "Footloose" for eight hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Was this legal downloading or through torrent? That would weight my vote a bit easier

If it were legal, she would've got the actual series. And for two weeks of waiting, definitely sucks, not deserved.

Can't help but find it a little ironic that most FMLs with someone overweight, or a smoker, or getting fired for making a mistake at work, or getting seriously injured or embarrassed while "trying to impress someone" get a much higher proportion of YDIs than an FML of someone who was inconvenienced after they illegally downloaded something on their computer for two weeks. Not that I give a shit about illegal downloads, but I find the phenomenon of the way the votes are going interesting. Obviously, most of the people sympathizing with OP engage in the practice themselves, or know someone who does, allowing them to sympathize. But it appears most of "us" (that is, collective members of society, or at least the FML population) are generally incapable of empathy - that is, putting yourself into someone's shoes and feeling for them regardless of whether you've lived/done/had a similar experience yourself (being overweight, smoking, etc.) Yes, I know that was a little deep for this site, but an observation I couldn't help but notice.

I think it's the two week wait for a full series that's swaying people. Plus, who legally downloads a full series, just an episode or two alone is expensive.

Me, I legally download or buy everything.

Note the word FULL. I can understand a favourite episode or two, but an entire series either way.

I'd equate it with OP stealing a dealer's stash only to find out the dealer was pushing oregano instead of reefer. Totally deserved.

#41 People could also be voting YDI because the FML's of late have been all pretty much the same, and stuff that has been shown through moderation have been better than what has been posted as well. I know a couple people who always say YDI because they have seen FML's get posted that mirror one's that they submitted but we're not posted, so they figure "if mine wasn't worthy, than why was this, when it was the same" so they just click YDI for spite. Not saying it's right, but after coming here for over 3 years now, what you posted has always been done, and getting to know many people here over the years, this is what I have seen and been told

I paid to download the entire final season of SOA, it was like $35. Worth every penny to be able to watch it immediately after it aired, since I don't have cable. The only crummy part is you can't burn from iTunes to a DVD. So I'll likely end up buying the season as well after it is released so I'll have the whole collection. If it's something I know I'll watch again and again, I don't mind paying. Still cheaper than cable.

Always read the comments before downloading.

Rule 1 of downloading: Always read the comments

Popcorn time is my friend for series for this exact reason

Two weeks? what kind of a weak ISP is that? :))
saudor 14
Probably since I reckon not a lot of users are "seeding/sharing" being a fake and all
OptikalWinter 4
so does no one ever read the torrent comments and look at seeds/leeches, or what? Sorry OP, its totally your fault, you deserved to be rick rolled for your negligence lol

I don't know that this could happen if you purchased it, I'll say ypdi because this sounds like torrenting gone wrong

What show takes up 60 GB of space?
