Today, I overheard a conversation two of my friends were having about Homer, so I interjected with a quip about a Simpson's episode I had seen before. They were talking about the poet. I'm an AP literature student. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was telling off one of my friends, a fellow student of medicine, who was spending his evenings watching "House" instead of revising for our important exam, as I was. The topic mentioned in the episode came up in the exam. He got 4 points more than I did. FML
Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML
Today, I was sitting in class when I overheard a group talking about how much they don't like me. When they saw me there, they burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was teaching a small group of improv students. I asked one guy to do a monologue, and laughed to myself while he did so. I said, "Sorry, I'm just laughing at the way you're doing it." He then got upset and pointed out that he had a speech impediment. FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, a friend told me that when I read, I make all the expressions the characters in the book are making. Apparently, I have been doing this since I was a kid, and no one ever told me. FML
Today, I joined a conversation about a TV show at work, agreeing enthusiastically. After a few minutes, I realized they were talking about a completely different show with a similar name. I nodded along, trapped, hoping no one asked questions. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, I submitted a poem for my English class. I had fun writing it, so I wrote a second which was not nearly as good. My procrastinator of a friend never did his, so I gave him my extra poem. Mine was given a 75% while "his" received a 93%. FML
Today, I overheard my in-laws talking about me. It started off with light insults and ended with, "People like her are the reason murder ain't always wrong". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How could you not pick up that they were talking about the poet versus the cartoon? You need to practice your overhearing skills. YDI.

umm # 30, The name of the website is fmylife. I assume you can read so you already know this. that means **** MY LIFE. meaning something shitty happens to you. this is not the least bit shitty and i know this person's life was no more ruined. " Today I called my friend Josh when his name is James. FML" That's the same general idea and look! its stupid and uninteresting and NOT AN FML. We come to read about people's **** ups to feel better about ourselves. and yeah language comes before lit i was just saying who would brag about being an ap lit student? Language is much more challenging. I bet a chimp could pass the AP lit test. By the way, Simpsons is lame. Groening's true work of art was futurama.

#45: It's obviously an "FML" moment for this child because he/she thinks that him/her being an AP Lit student makes him/her a level above the rest, so the embarrassment is too much. As for the argument regarding literature vs language: I don't know how it is in high school, considering how they're both stupidly easy, but overall, literature is seen as the highest level of English studies.

#7, you honestly think of the poet before you think of the Simpsons? Oh, let me guess. You don't watch TV, because you're too good and intellectual for it. Get laid and come back when you don't have a stick up your ass.
