Today, I had to stand in line for twenty minutes at the bank, in between two of my ex-boyfriends. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Not the first time you've been in between them both, I'm sure.

So why didn't you just leave and come back later?

So why didn't you just leave and come back later?

drivingmissdaisy 13

She shouldn't have to leave just because her ex's are there. If it was me I would've stayed and there and acted like I didn't even notice them.

Flowtastic 16

You're right, she shouldn't have to, though if it's that much of a problem that her life is ****** because of it (FML ;);)) then she should have just came back at another time rather than let herself be subjected to it.

HairyPunisher 27

She might've needed to do something important. Deposit a paycheck to pay bills, get an official check for an important purchase, get something notarized, etc. Coming back may not have been that simple.

#15 she could have moved to the back of the line. sorry trade places with someone farther from the teller

incoherentrmblr 22

Talk about double penetration...

#15: Ignoring somebody you used to be intimate with is just plain rude and immature. Leaving (even just for a few minutes) would be a much better solution.

pjsr 33

I don't think it was a coincidence, #37. What if they were 'together'? It's never a good sign if all your exes now bat for the other team.

Respect101 17

#37, it's not like her exes stalked her, found out she was going to the bank and called each other and said I'll stand in front of her and then you come in after her and stand behind her to make things super awkward...

donkinator 24

#80 come on mate, was that the best you could come up with? this FML needs a follow up, who's with me?

drivingmissdaisy 13

I think leaving would be even ruder. But that's just my opinion. Besides both of my exes did not end on a good point so there is no way I would not ignore either of them. @81

fuckyourlifeOP 25

The line was so long because in the front of the line, some guy was bitching at the teller for apologizing on behalf of another worker.

doctorhook86 25

#116: Eh, if you guys aren't on good terms, that's different. Still, even if you hate your exes, if you're ignoring them it's because you intend to be rude to them (which might be justified). If you're not actually trying to be rude, leaving is less offensive. You can politely excuse yourself, but it's not possible to politely ignore someone.

#80 you're completely sick.

incoherentrmblr 22

#125, my user name says it all. According to your profile, you like that sense of humor...

drivingmissdaisy 13

Haha well then yes I would ignore them to be rude.. I don't like either @123

Alvarortor 14

And leave them again? That's cold.

ckirksey 11

Not the first time you've been in between them both, I'm sure.

Haaaa I get it because sex, you sly ************.

Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh

I think you just won the internet

Wizardo 34

Woah, take it easy guys I guess dumb sarcasm doesn't work with you geniuses. Nice little result from this experiment though.

doctorhook86 25

Damn it, 86, you ruined the downvote chain! Post something stupider next time.

I... I don't know whether to thumbs up or down this one...

128: Do the opposite of what people are doing to your comment.

Sopho_o 15

That sucks, but at least you've had two boyfriends right?

charcharthunder 18

lol, true #3 some people havn't even had one. :P

Welshite 40

What's wrong with staying single?

Flowtastic 16

...or choosing quality over quantity?

winchestinalock 21

absolutely nothing #23

euphoricness 28

OP sure is lucky, I've never had two boyfriends....

RedPillSucks 33

OP's not lucky if those are ex-boyfriends. They're ex for a reason. You wouldn't be happy if you dated two serial-killers (well, happy that you didn't die, but aside from that).

doctorhook86 25

#76 If the OP had dated two serial killers, they'd still be her exes afterwards, they'd just be a lot scarier.

wvni 13

Just be glad you got that over with, and hope it doesn't happen again.

Redoxx_fml 22

That must have been the worst sandwhich in the history of sandwiches

wvni 13

Ya don't say? -sarcasm-

Redoxx_fml 22

I had noo idea that was sarcasm

Soloman212 28

Ooh! Ooh! THAT must be sarcasm!!

lizzy_r_b_94 18

Well us women love making sandwiches right?

kyu_Q 19

It's a pity that FML has people who don't get sarcasm so much that people have to point out when they are being sarcastic

lambda_fml 40

Bet you had some nice conversations.

niamhyo 13

sounds like fun

Jiplo 18

I would have left and returned at a later time. FYL.

mannatee 19

You "had" to wait? Why couldn't you leave and come back after they left?

gracehi 33

Because that would be even more awkward.

Flowtastic 16

...how would it have been more awkward?

gracehi 33

Because then it would have been really obvious she didn't want to be around them.

junkman6 22

If I don't want to be around someone I leave.... That's not awkward that's horse sense....

Flowtastic 16

I think breaking up with them is a bit more obvious that she didn't want to be around them... Still don't see the awkwardness of it though

sjbartholome 14

@20. That has nothing to do with "more awkward" If she leaves, then she doesn't have to deal with them. Awkwardness is result of dealing with something. The only thing awkward here is you posting something that does not make sense and defending it with an equally nonsense explanation.

Brandi_Faith 34

Like someone else has already said, she may have had something really important to do and coming back wasn't an option. Or she might not have been able to get back to the bank till a few days later and that wouldn't have worked.

doctorhook86 25

#35: She doesn't want to be around them. Why pretend she does when she could've easily excused herself for a few minutes and stood in line later with strangers?

pjsr 33

All she would need to do was wait a few minutes until some more people were in line

gracehi 33

There's a big difference between not wanting to date someone and not being able to stand their mere presence. There's a lot of people I don't want to date, but I don't mind being around them. Leaving the back simply because they also happen to be there would betray just how much they got under her skin. Also, that might have negative social ramifications if she still shares any mutual friends with either of them. Can you imagine? "I walked in the bank and Susie was there, but as soon as she saw me she left. She didn't even say, 'Hi.' I don't think she even did whatever she went to the bank for. She just straight up left the line!" I'd imagine her friends would probably think less of her after hearing that story. It would likely name her seem pretty petty, unless the guy was a complete and utter ass hole, in which case, they probably wouldn't have any mutual friends anymore.

gracehi 33

You're also assuming she dumped both of them. Perhaps at least one of them dumped her. Leaving the bank just because he's there would show how much he hurt her, and I doubt she would him to have that satisfaction.

junkman6 22

It was enough discomfort for her to post an FML... Contextual clues for the win.

AGB10 19

Caught in the middle of the frying pan and the fire eh? I feel for you OP.

91hayek 31

Wow, I'm stealing this line. So many situations in my life where this is so true.
