Today, I politely complimented a stranger's excellent posture. She responded by saying "I have a metal rod in my back." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a cute guy complimented me on my legs. I, being the awkward person that I am, panicked and replied, "Thanks, I grew them myself." FML
Today, I complimented a girl on her stockings pattern. Turns out she wasn't wearing stockings. FML
Today, while working at the bar, I had a beautiful woman squeeze my bicep and tell me I was in amazing shape. Instead of flirting like any normal human being, I awkwardly said, "Thanks…" and then walked away in shame. FML
Today, I was complimented by a stranger, who said I looked great in my outfit. I thanked her, and she immediately gave me a fist-bump. I stared curiously, and she explained: she was arguing with her friends about whether I'm a man or a woman. The pitch of my voice was the answer. FML
Today, I complimented my mom with "Hey, I think you lost some weight." She replied with "Yeah, I think you found it." FML
Today, while in bed, my fiancé rolled over in the dark and complimented me on my nice buttocks. He had actually grabbed a roll of back fat. FML
Today, I got punched in the back by elderly woman because she thought I was mocking the way she walked as I passed her. I was walking funny because I have a brace-boot on my foot due to the fact that it got run over. FML
Today, I was trying on some shoes. As I was bending down, an old lady with a walking frame slowly approached. As she got close she whispered to me, "Mmm, you've got a nice tushie." My girlfriend will not let me hear the end of it. FML
Today, at school, I wore a back brace because I have fractured vertebrae. During first period, a girl tapped me on the back to ask me a question. It made a "knocking on wood" sound. She looked at me like I was a freak. FML
Today, I told the doctor that one of my ribs sticks out farther than the other. When I lifted my shirt to show him, he immediately laughed and said, "Whoa, that's not subtle is it!" As if I wasn't already insecure about it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you should've smiled and winked and said "oooh, so THAT'S your secret." *nod, elbow nudge* like you're part of some kind of special, elite straight-back club. pat them on the back and walk off.

I also have rods in my back, but it doesn't really hurt anymore. My posture still sucks though.

idiot. I'm not a retard, and talk about being mean.... I can't make a little joke about someone who always stands straight, but you can call someone a retard? and plus, I don't have a metal rod up my ass like you do xD

Every time I see your picture I try to figure out if you're telling us your penis size, or trying to pull the last hair you have on your head out. lol

Just because she has a metal rod doesn't mean shit. Trust me i have one. Unless she was special and had one down the full length of her back which i doubt. She is just a b*%$&!

why do people even get metal rods ? :[]

I have mine because of scoliosis, which is what a lot of people have them for. Could also be for some sort of back injury, lordosis, etc.

it's just as common to have a full rod as it is to have a lower rod. (full rods are used to treat scoliosis and kyphosis in the thoracic vertebrae) So I guess a lot of people are "really special". including me. so thanks, but no thanks for your input, genius. think before you comment.

I have a rod from neck to ass and mines still bad LOL I agree that the person was being a b or could have just said ty

I only have rods down the top half of my back as I had an A typical 60° S shape. Because of this I have amazing posture, I literally can't slouch and if I try it hurts. I love having perfect posture with minimal effort (talk about lazy I know ;) )

YDI, in a good way. I mean, is "Nice boobs" any less of a compliment because they're implants?
CitrusGirl 0
Nice boobs is actually a little rude if it's to a complete stranger

I'm keep forgetting the vast majority here don't get sarcasm...
