Today, I lied when my therapist asked why I preferred Tuesday morning appointments. It's actually because World of Warcraft is down for regularly scheduled maintenance. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I was happily playing Diablo IV when all of a sudden it was 4 p.m. and time to go to work. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my sick semi-delusional boyfriend, whom I've been taking care of for days, accused me of trying to poison him so that I could play World of Warcraft. FML
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, I was finally allowed some time to get my game on. When I attempted to log in, I was given an error message. The game servers were down. Estimated time back up was, "sometime later this week". I was unable to get my game on, and had to do chores instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why lie to your therapist? They can't help you if you don't tell them the truth. Also, if you want to play that game, then fair play, but when you can't tear yourself away in such a way (especially for something like this), then you might want to play a little less.

**** that game. This is why you see a therapist in the first place because you waste your life playing WoW and don't have any REAL friends. Stop playing, go get a life, and stop complaining to your therapist. Problem solved.

Really? Is that why the OP sees a therapist? You must know them personally. I'm sure it has nothing to do with a mental illness, or anything—you know, those things that people go to see therapists to treat.

I have real friends in real life. And we also play WoW together. One of these friends is my boyfriend. We are happy together. I also have other hobbies outside of WoW, such as walking and reading, and am a conasseuir (I have no idea how to spell that word) of hilariously bad fan fiction. If that makes me a loser then I am proud to be a loser.

I play WoW and Tuesday is the day of the week that I run errands, deep clean the house,(the rest of the week I just do normal pick ups and dishes) do laundry, and go grocery shopping. I play 4 or 5 days a week for a few hours a day but never past 6pm. That's family time. Just because someone PLAYS WoW doesn't mean they're addicted to it. Sadly though, some people are and a lot of people have the misconception that if you play, you're a hopeless loser with no life..which is why a very large number of players do not share the fact that they play. I do not keep it a secret and proudly wear my "For The Horde!" WoW shirt out in public quite a bit. Few weeks ago I was out shopping and had it on, some guy walked up to me and said "Lok'tar!" I of course responded "Zug Zug!" (I like my "I fight like a girl" WoW shirt better though!)

I wish the embarrassment about playing WoW would just disappear ... Yes there are those crazies who can't peel themselves out of their chair long enough to talk a piss during a raid, but the game ... Is awesome!! Most ppl are normal. Common people, over 12 MILLION people play! Horde ftw!

I hear ya. Going 12/12 in icc then straight into rs without a break is no worse than sports fans glued to the set and afraid to leave their chairs for four hours during superbowl for fear of missing one of the commercials.

To be fair, most guilds give an unwritten bio-break at certain points at the night. Any other time and you could be causing 9 or 24 other people to be waiting on you to finish a piss, unless it's a pug. Do whatever the hell you want in a pug. I used play a healer and genuinely just try and stuck to those times, to avoid wasting 24 other peoples time, that they've donated to play with little old me.
