Today, I found out my girlfriend starts fights with me over text because apparently, when I'm arguing with someone, I stop speaking in "annoying shorthand" and am grammatically correct. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend berated me for my "lack of communication skills", all while deeply engrossed with something on her phone. FML
Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML
Today, my caring way too much about proper grammar got out of hand when I corrected my girlfriend during a talk about her dying grandmother. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I agreed to weekly talks about anything that is bothering us, since we’ve been arguing a lot lately. So far, every talk has been her moaning at me about how I annoy her, yet when I try to have my say, she interrupts or yells at me for blaming her for our problems. FML
Today, my girlfriend has yelled at me multiple times for saying sorry too much. It's involuntary, due to me constantly being told I never do anything right growing up by my parents. She knows this, and is even then one who helped me realize this, and still yells at me for it. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I noticed that my girlfriend only texts me when she needs help with her homework. FML
Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML
Today, my girlfriend snapped at me for being lazy and incompetent, and declared that if I was going to behave like a child, she would be treating me like one. This includes safety-proofing the house, talking to me like a 3-year-old and slapping me with a wooden spoon when I do something wrong. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were arguing. I told her that "same" and "similar" were two different words that meant two different things. She said, "I don't know about that, let me research it." This is the level of, "I always need to be right" that I deal with every day. I need to end things, for both of our sakes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Correct grammar is a must

Did you do that on purpose? Match your name with your comment number, Mr. Wizard? He said correct 'grammar,' not correct 'punctuation.'

I am a self confessed grammar-Nazi, but I don't bother with the final period in a paragraph. Unless of course, I'm writing an essay or something similar. Otherwise, why bother? It's not like you're getting marked

Girls find proper English very sexy. Show them you've mastered the colon, and they'll let you into theirs. This is why grammar Nazis are anal.

This is hilarious.

Perdix, what does one get when one masters the semicolon?

You can toss her salad. This is a big motivator to continue your studies of grammar.

What's this? An explanation and not a demonstration? Tsk tsk And there's nothing wrong with grammar Nazis being a little anal. Now I know why Bugs Bunny always made a left turn at Albuquerque.

How do you know it's sexy perdix? Personal experience? ;)

i don't know where this conversation is going, but i'm going to plaster my ass on this couch until i see where it goes. hold on, let me get my half gallon of lotion and extra absorbant deer hide shammy. this is going to be messy.

You, sir, are so right. To be able to write in complete grammatically correct sentences is a complete turn on because its a sign that that person is smart. Or at least paid attention in class.

#46, maybe you ought to check your box. Who knew that perdix' grammar course had a lab portion, but only for the sexy girls? ;) #50. Oh, yeah... I once went out with a girl who spoke in run-on sentences. Guess how I corrected her, heh-heh-heh.

It's funny because it's true.

You urinated in her bed and left claiming to have been too sweaty?
