Today, I played a game of Monopoly with my friends. Since I'm of Greek origin, they thought it would be funny to make me start with a €100,000 debt. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, I received a tip in Monopoly money. FML
Today, I was playing Monopoly with my extended family. When my wife came home, she kicked me out of the game, and took all my money and property. When I said she couldn't do that, she said, "Sure I can. It's called divorce." Everyone laughed. Now I'm bored as hell, watching everyone else play. FML
Today, I won a game of Monopoly against my girlfriend. She reacted by sweeping the board off the table, storming out the front door, and mowing down my mailbox driving away. FML
Today, I attended my first game night with my girlfriend’s family. They play for cash and deal cards like trained magicians. By the end I was up by £400 and they were all mad at me. I seriously think they were so busy cheating each other that I won by default. FML
Today, I was playing Monopoly with my kids. It was fun, and led to some mock fights. My neighbor, who despises me for being a single mother, used it as an excuse to call the cops on me for "abusing" my kids. They were too confused to do anything but nod at the officer's accusing questions. FML
Today, after playing numerous games of poker against my friend, and him telling me that I'm the best poker player he's ever met, I went out and played for real money. I got totally destroyed, lost all of my money, and was laughed out of the building. FML
Today, I came home to my fiancé and his mates playing Monopoly naked in our backyard. FML
Today, I learned that when you have a banker and rental property manager for a dad, and a recently graduated business major for a boyfriend, the absolute worst thing you can do at family dinner night is suggest playing Monopoly. It was four hours of carnage I don’t think I can recover from FML
Today, after a night of partying, I woke up in the middle of my co-ed dorm lobby to the sound of giggles. I was in a thong with $1 Monopoly bills sticking out. I'm a guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are they American? If so, start them off with a 16 trillion dollar debt.

No. The European union isn't actually real, it is simply a coverup of Russia's world domination plan. Russia secretly owns all of those countries and forced them together to make an economic powerhouse, which will then form with Russia, which has been under the radar. Once Russia is the biggest, most powerful country, they will contact the aliens that built the Egyptian pyramids and ask them for their advanced technology. To resist, the North and South American countries, with USA as their leader, will form the American Union. Then there will be a nuclear war between all of the continents, resulting in the melting of Antarctica. Australians, however, converted the whole continent if Australia into a space ship and they leave to mars. Most of the world will be flooded, except for the highest mountains, the Himalayas. The only survivors will be the Sherpas. Then, from the Bermuda Triangle, there will be a special nuclear toxin causing the bodies in the water to become swimming zombies. The Sherpas will be safe from these zombies because of their cold environment. After the zombies die off, the Sherpas will evolve to become fish-humans. They will build an underwater Atlantis, and in there they will survive the worlds next ice age. Today's society will be forgotten by then. Then the world returns to the way it was, and Panem is born. Thus, the Hunger Games. So who cares about money?

That's quite clever, actually. Definitely sucks to start so far behind, but at least your friends seem to be intelligent.

Seem intelligent? The debt of the euro is a shared debt since the EU is an economic/political union. That makes all member countries share the debt, not just Greece If they're so keen to show off their political prowess, I'd think they could at least come up with something a bit more clever.

Why is Greece getting bombarded by the media so much. There are plenty of other countries that have debts such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain.

Because Greece was the first to need a bailout and the one that came the closest to going under

The EU is a trade union and as such does not share debt. The EMU does to a certain extent cover countries' debts, but it's not like they share a checking account.

#80 - because they lied about their economic situation in order to gain entry into the Euro, which gave them much lower borrowing costs. Instead of using that windfall to improve the country's economic situation they let things get even worse. Also Greece is broken on a level which even Italy can't match, with people simply not paying taxes if they don't feel like it. The Greek people - instead of electing politicians to fix this mess - were content to vote for one of the parties which gave them more unfinanced handouts. Now that they are in deep shit they burn stuff, riot and blame the countries who are helping them - which is a great way to ruin their tourism industry on top of it all.

It's not very easy to win Monopoly if you can't buy anything.
sougstad 7
Well the way I play, we have jackpots on free parking and snake eyes can do a lot for you as well haha, hence my snake eyes comment. But apparently nobody here plays the way I do. And all you party poopers thumbing me down, screw you right back!! Hahaha

If you've been personally affected by the Greek debt crisis, I feel for you. But if not, come on, you've got to admit it was a nice joke. I literally laughed out loud at it.

As did I, 27. As did I.

Your friends are great, it's good to laugh at things like this from time to time. Remember it always could be worse, if you were of Zimbabwean descent
