Today, I realized I spend way too much time on the computer. I grabbed the menu at the restaurant, glanced at the page, and tried to do CTRL+F to find seafood. Geek coming through! FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, I realized my Internet addiction had gone too far when I tried to Google what was in my freezer. FML
Today, I realized that I give the computer screen a thumbs up whenever I see something cool. I work on computers in front of people all day. FML
Today, I told myself, "Come on you geek, go outside, get some sun, get your ass away from in front of your computer, go for a walk." I finally mustered the courage to leave my house. Without my keys. I've now been in an internet café for four hours. FML
Today, I entered a restaurant just to use the WiFi. In order not to look cheap, I ordered a meal and a beverage. The WiFi didn't work and now I don't have enough money to buy dinner. FML
Today, I cleaned my computer screen for the first time in ages. When I turned it on a few hours later, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why the brightness was suddenly so painfully high. FML
Today, I realized I had been staring at my phone for an hour without doing anything else. When I looked up, I noticed my mom had been standing in the doorway, shaking her head at me for a solid five minutes. I hadn’t noticed her. I wish I could use this laser focus to study for my college exams instead of wasting my time doomscrolling Instagram. FML
Today, I just spent 3 hours at work reading FML posts and giggling at my desk. For the blurred out posts, I was moving my desk chair back to read what they said while squinting. I just realized I can hover the mouse and it will be clear and not blurry anymore. Now I have a headache and got in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML
Today, I was trying to show my family a cool website. Unfortunately my porn instincts kicked in and I started typing the URL of my favorite porn site. I couldn't stop myself before it autocompleted. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When I (for some odd reason) decide to draw on paper instead of my tablet, I always end up moving my left hand down looking for the ctrl+z on my keyboard...only to realize I'm not at a computer

Sometimes, when I'm writing an essay in class, I EXPECT little red squiggly lines to show up under words. Usually this is when I don't get enough sleep, but I can feel your pain. >.-

It's okay. When I lose my keys, the idea to Google Search their location never fails to enter my mind. Lol

Sometimes I think about spell check when I write things or trying to use a search function when looking at a piece of paper. I try to spend as little time as possible on the computer after those experiences.

Haha wow... I'm actually amazed at these comments - I thought I was the only one who used to think Ctrl+Z in real life!

@ 15 Life's horrible that way! I'm also a graphic artist, and found I can't live without ctrl + z or layers now. I can't draw traditionally for anything. Or that I'm using chatspeak in real life conversations. When my spelling reverts to smthng lk ths I'm going to probably shoot myself.
