Today, I queued up for few hours in torrential rain to see the Harry Potter premiere. After just four hours sleep and waking at 3am, I fell asleep during film and missed the whole thing. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, stood in line for hours to see the new Harry Potter. Unfortunately, once inside the theater, I was stuck in the bathroom with the runs for the entire length of the movie. FML
Today, I went to see the new Harry Potter movie with my boyfriend. Feeling an intense need to pee, he decided to sacrifice a few minutes of the movie before the highly-anticipated final combat to get some relief. He went through the wrong door, locking himself out. Right until the end. FML
Today, I had to do a "damage report" on myself after going to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter. As I was waiting for the previews, a 20 year old man dressed as a house elf tackled and wrestled me for my seat. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish rereading my set work for my English exam. I managed to finish earlier than expected and decided to get some sleep. I then promptly slept through my alarm and missed my exam. FML
Today, after a long and tiring day at work, I went to the movies, where I loaded up on soda, popcorn, and candy, and settled in to enjoy the movie. I ended up falling asleep and being woken up two hours later by an usher. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML
Today, I was watching Harry Potter. When all the students at Hogwarts started to clap at one point, I started clapping myself. FML
Today, I got to the movie theater early to avoid missing the previews. I sat through 20 minutes of trailers before realizing I was in the wrong auditorium. FML
Today, during some previews before the new Harry Potter movie, a guy stood up and led the audience in an enthusiastic and rather successful chant "H-A-R-R-Y!". Minutes later when I attempted to do the same thing, I was pelted with half-full bags of popcorn, freezing sodas, and booing. FML
Today, I earned the nickname of "Harry Potter" for all the wrong reasons. I got locked in a storage cupboard for most of my shift, and couldn't get out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's how the British say "Got in line". The poster is from the UK.

WTF?? this is NOT an FML. "Omg, the world is going to end because i missed the Harry Potter marathon." That's really sad. And how old are you??
alliemi 0
It's ridiculous that anyone would say "How old are you?". Harry Potter isn't just for children, even though they're published as "children's books". Many many adults read and love Harry Potter. And the movies are rated PG-13 for a reason. If you've ever read Harry Potter you'd have realized that the books contain some advanced thinking that could only really be appreciated by someone older than five. Harry Potter is great fiction for any age and anyone who claims otherwise clearly hasn't read the books.

um, this must be either really old, or NOT TRUE! The premier isn't even until tonight, and it isn't released until next wednesday.

1. What the **** does "queued up" mean? 2. Nice try, the movie doesn't even come out for at least a week 3. They'd never show the premiere at 3am, they'd show it at midnight because that's what they do YDI for lying in your FML, dumbshit.

You're retarded. Thats why they said they woke up at 3 am and missed it... because it wasn't on at 3am. So if it was at midnight, and they slept till 3 am...that would mean they missed it. You're really retarded.
alliemi 0
No, YOU'RE really retarded. OP said "I fell asleep during the film" implying that the OP DID make it to the movie. The movie WOULD start at midnight because they always do, meaning it wouldn't still be playing at 3 am because it's only two and a half hours long. So if the OP did wake up at 3am like you said, then she would've missed it altogether, but she didn't because she explicitly says that she fell asleep during the film. Wow, get your facts straight.

I assumed that the OP had been up since 3 AM (i.e. ~21 hours before going to the premiere) and had only slept four hours prior to waking up.

#53 1. "queued up" means to be in line, it's a UK term, and that is where they're from. 2. if you'd noticed the OP is from the UK (as I've already mentioned), meaning different premiere & release dates 3. they could've not been able to sleep after 3am for certain reasons. 4. chill out and don't assume they're lying because their movies have different release dates than North America.

nope, you are still retarded. 1. you are ignorant of other cultures (and it's really not a hard thing to even guess what the word means if you use context clues) 2. again, you are retarded. just because it doesn't come out where you are for another week doesn't mean that it's not out in other countries (gee, there's an idea, open the movie where the books got started) 3. if you knew how to read a sentence properly you would see that the OP woke up at slept for only 4 hours the previous night, woke up at 3 am, then spent the entire day awake (any one would be tired from staying awake that long) see? you are retarded. congratulations dumb ****.

1. I didn't know what "queued up" meant, that's why I ASKED. Not knowing what "queued up" mean makes me ignorant towards the entire culture of the UK? Really? Even so, it's not like I'm purposely ignoring the learning of these things. As I live in the US, slang used in the UK isn't something I would ever come across. 2. ... 3. But I thought "they woke up at 3 am and missed it"? Isn't that what you said before? Hmm. Now you're just saying that because another poster suggested that that's what it might be. The OP's meaning is vague but what you said in your first post is still flat-out wrong and not possible, just admit it. ∴ you are the retarded one. :) have a nice day

2. See poster #81 please 3. Nvm, that was directed at the first person who posted under me, I thought you were one in the same.

You're still an idiot. "Queued up" is not that obscure of an expression. Even most Americans know what it means (I certainly do). Context clues anyone?? I also had the thought "but the movie's not out yet" when I read it. Then I noticed that the person was from the UK and my brain (that thing you don't possess) kinda made the connection.

why didn't you just google "queued up"? and why so distrusting? you seem awfully quick to declare that harry potter hasn't come out yet, when dozens of other comments explained that it's out in the uk. your stupidity amazes me.

I did it for the lulz.

god damn i hate being judged for being american because of dumb ***** like you and how stupid are you really? -queued up may be a european english expression, but the word queue does exist in the american english vocabulary...
s_t_e_p_h 0
"Queued up" isn't slang, it's proper English. If you look at the origins of the language it comes from Britain, just like if you look at the origins of Harry Potter. There are compiled lists of all the words change in Harry Potter between the British and American versions - that is why I am glad I am in Canada and get the originals...

to 181... You were a ******* moron for ***** and giggles and yet you fought tooth and nail (and failed) to prove that everyone else was retarded? Do the world a favor and jump off a cliff. We don't need people like you.

YDI for not being able to create grammatically correct sentences. Dumb ass.
