Today, I found out I could not go to the Philippines because I have never had Chicken Pox. The school took the radical decision to prohibit students who have never had Chicken Pox to leave the college. I am condemned to stay in Hong Kong in some shitty project because I am a healthy young man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got chickenpox. I'm 28 and having chickenpox as an adult is excruciatingly painful. When I told my boss I wasn't going to be at work today because of chickenpox he replied, "That's the worst excuse I've ever heard. Adults don't get chickenpox." He then fired me. FML
Today, I couldn't prove my son has had chickenpox, so his school gave us the option of getting a potentially dangerous shot he didn't need, pay for an expensive blood test to show that he previously had the virus, or sign a waiver stating I'm a religious nut refusing medical treatment. FML
Today, just three days into a much-needed vacation, my 5-year-old daughter has come down with chickenpox. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to fly. Again. Yesterday my flight was overbooked. Today I didn't have the yellow fever vaccine. Not once was this requirement mentioned. Nobody would believe me. Luckily, it turned out that this requirement did not apply to me. They realised this after the plane left. FML
Today, I'm halfway through of packing my stuff as we are moving to another flat. I discovered that I got chickenpox, which means that I should do no hard physical work. I've got a fever and a headache. It started raining in the morning, so loading stuff to truck is going to be so much fun. FML
Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML
Today, at Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML
Today, I was denied entry into Hong Kong after flying here from Canada and paying thousands of uncancellable dollars for quarantine hotel and other plans, because the immigration company fucked up. FML
Today, my brother and I got food poisoning because of the shady chicken subs we ate last night. Our mom thinks we're faking it and sent us to school anyway. I'm coming to you live from a school toilet while missing a test. FML
Today, while working as a veterinary assistant, an owner stood extremely close to me and kept accidentally petting me instead of her dog. After her dog was examined, she asked me if I'd ever had the chickenpox because she has shingles and it's contagious to those who haven't. I haven't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've never had chicken pox and I'm 23. I'm afraid one day I'm going to have a kid, he's going to get it, and he's going to live the rest of his life knowing it was his fault he killed me.

You're an idiot #71. Not everyone gets them, I didn't and neither did a lot of people I know. So be educated before you make a stupid statement, then say "you got told by a 13 year old". Don't try to act so smart.

#72, you can still get them when you're an adult, and they're a lot worse then.

71- That makes 2 13 year olds lol :P (for those idiots who totally don't understand what I just said: I'm also 13 and I agree with 71)

Edit: Not EVERYONE gets them, but you are more healthy if u do get chicken pox because it is less of a risk for children because when you are an adult it is more dangerous. But chicken pox are totally normal to get.

Getting chicken pox as an adult is not the same as getting it as a kid. It hurts like hell, and it can be lethal. Its called shingles.

Hong Kong is ******* amazing, better than the Philippines, so be happy you're in Hong Kong instead of the Philippines.

Hong Kong may be an amazing city, but Southern China is the world's major breeding ground for infectious diseases, so it seems a bit silly to be all paranoid about chicken pox in the Philippines.

What a tragedy! You should have said, "But I have genital warts. That should count for something?" It might still work! Go try it! Do it...do it NOW.

Start drawing spots on your skin and show your school board that you have chicken box.
