Today, I lied to my crush telling him I can play the piano. To 'prove' it, I recorded a video on my phone of a girl playing a beautiful piece. After I sent it, I realized my mouse cursor was in the center of the page the entire time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, I spent an hour meticulously crafting the perfect text to ask my crush out. Just as I hit send, I realized I'd accidentally sent a screenshot of the conversation to my crush instead. Now they know my level of commitment: zero. FML
Today, my crush went on webcam on MSN. He looked really adorable, so I took about 6 screen shots and copied them into paint. I accidentally took a screenshot of my screen with all the pictures on paint and copied it into the conversation. FML
Today, at school, I was asked to play a complex piano piece in front of my class, teachers and guests. I nailed it, but what stood out most for everyone was how I apparently looked like I was being possessed while performing. FML
Today, I found myself lying to my diary. FML
Today, I was pretending to be a ballerina. I was dancing around my room, making a complete dick of myself. I eventually caught sight of a pair of guys grinning and filming me with their cellphones through my window. FML
Today, I was talking to my crush when I laughed so hard that I snorted. Then I tried to play it cool by saying, "I do that on purpose sometimes." Now he probably thinks I fake-snort for fun. FML
Today, I lied and told my friends I was a compulsive liar. Well, I think I lied. FML
Today, I was playing piano for a wedding rehearsal. Bored, I decided to pass the time playing through a book of music I found in the piano bench. Some time later the bride turned to me and screamed at me to stop. I had turned the page and had begun to play "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off." FML
Today, I was gonna tell my crush that I love her, but I found out that she has a fiancé. She kept it secret so I would carry on helping her in her studies, like a fool. She was acting like she liked me, but she never did. Now it seems very obvious. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

why would you lie about something like that? Oh, I know, because he would NEVER find out about it of course when he would go to your place and ask you to play a piece. -next time when you lie about something make sure nobody can find out now or later YDI

You shouldn't have lied to him. He shouldn't care if you don't have many or any talents. Even if you're boring, so what? A good guy will like you for you.

even if u didn't have the cursor show in the video, and the guy was coming to ur house, he would see u don't have a piano or the same piano in the video :) just being critical

Wait, so you opened a video of somebody else playing a piano on your computer (likely youtube or something), you placed the cursor in the middle of the video, took your phone and recorded a video of this video? And you thought a) he wouldn't notice it was someone else playing, b) he wouldn't notice a slight bit of frame around you youtube video when your hand moved slightly (or terrible quality if you full-screened the vid), and c) the very obvious color distortion you get when viewing an LCD monitor up close through a camera (or even worse flickering through a CRT), and of course d) the mouse cursor? ...Idiot.

I would probably say the FML is just badly worded and what they meant was, they recorded a youtube video with some recording software, left the cursor in the middle of the video, editted the recording... and transferred it onto their phone. It's what I'd have done anyway, had I suddenly had the to urge to do something like this. Also, there's a 300 character limit on the FMLs, so I'm assuming this is a poorly shortened version of what I described. But then, the OP may never have thought of that and actually recorded their computer with their phone. >_< I dunno, it's unclear. @OP Could you not just make up some excuse about having to upload it to your computer? Like you had to edit a section of the recording and then you had to use recording software, rather than the Publish function in WMM (or whatever) as it doesn't work properly on your computer? Aaaah, I'm over-thinking this. It's only an FML (and a definite YDI).

Sorry but you should NEVER fake it that you play the piano. playing the piano is a real skill. I'm a real piano player and I take that offencively.

Tell him your friend taped it and uploaded it to his computer so you could keep it. Duh.

So tell him your friend taped it and uploaded it to your computer. BTW isn't he gonna realize it's not you in the vid?

YDI for trying to impress him by playing piano. I'm sure you can do SOMETHING impressive. Like.... Shoving a whole banana down your throat? Hey you'd be suprized how many guys would like a girl who can do that particular trick.

Many women seem to 'forget' that they have the cursor mid-screen of a video... how disturbing! YDI

If the OP showed her crush that she could make a good sandwich she wouldn't need to lie about her piano playing skills.
