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

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. >.-

I work in IT but am not as dumb as to type on a non existing keyboard when i look at a piece of paper. Hence, YDI.

Wait, everyone who uses the computer a lot is fat and fake? Please explain to me how that makes sense.

Dude...you spent the time on the COMPUTER to read everyones comments, and type this so really dont be all like that. I don't use the computer that much but still have done this. And just shut up about the stupid crap of 'fat people downing ice cream' and 'can't get a girlfriend/boyfriend'. That just sounds like something a freaking idiot with nothing better to do would say.

Today, I was ranting on FML about lonely and fat people who spend too much time on the computer and have no life until I realized I had described myself with horrible English skills. FML

When i'm watching Starcraft games on Youtube and it gets really intense, I often move the mouse a few times in the direction I want to see more of the battle in instinctively before I realize i'm watching, not playing. I've also gone to ctrl+c, ctrl+v on standard paper applications recently. I blame the fact that there's only six hours a day i'm not in front of a computer, and i'm sleeping those times. Seven hours approximately, if you count potty breaks and actually preparing food, being that I eat at my computer, too.

Don't feel bad... I do that all the time. I sit there looking at a sign, directory, phone book, text book, whatever, and for some reason I try and hit CTRL+F and my fingers actually go through the motions and it takes me a few taps to realize "Wait.... this isn't going to work."

Used to be obsessed with runescape and when someone says follow me I try to right click then go down and press follow

FYL, for sure, but why is this categorized under love?

That's legit Buzrael. Any true geek knows that grep is far superior.
