Today, I spent 3 hours looking at a YouTube video on how to do Rubik’s cube. Even after being told how to do it, I couldn't finish it. I scrolled down the comments and read, "Awesome! I'm 10 and can do it in 3 minutes now!" I'm 28 and still can't do it, even with a tutorial. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have in my living room a Rubik’s cube I’ve been trying to solve for over a year. I just got home and it was sat on the floor solved. Apparently my wife gave it to her nephew to play with and he solved it in about four minutes, then got bored. He’s 8 and I’m 33. FML
Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML
Today, I had to explain to yet another person that I can't tie a knot. Even if someone walks me through the entire process, I never get it. The person in question berated me for not being able to perform such a "simple" task. I truly don't know what I'm doing wrong, and it makes me feel like an idiot. FML
Today, I chipped a tooth trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. FML
Today, after a long time spent trying to learn chess as a hobby, I've come to accept that I'm simply destined to never be any good at it. Maybe I'm just a slow learner, but it feels like I've made zero progress since I started, despite doing everything I'm told to do. Time to find another hobby, I say. FML
Today, I was teaching a special techniques class for ballet and was focusing on pirouettes. I was teaching a group of 8 year-olds, and one student could do perfect triple turns one after the other. I still can't do them, and I've been dancing for 15 years. FML
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that claimed to be "easy to build in minutes." Four hours and multiple arguments later, I realized I had misread the instructions, and half the parts were upside down. I'm pretty sure the furniture won this round. FML
Today, my 7-year-old daughter has been hopelessly stuck on an easy puzzle in her favorite video game for a week now. Today, she excitedly told me that she'd figured it out. The solution to the puzzle? No, she’s figured out how to look up a walkthrough on the internet. FML
Today, as I struggle with dyscalculia, I set up some counters so I could knit up a perfect square. Turns out the counters actually made it worse. I have three failed attempts and I'm stuck on number 4. FML
Today, I decided to try a 7-minute exercise video to start working out and get in shape. I couldn’t make it though the video. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

hahahaha my friend showed me how to in one day, i can do it in under 45 seconds. it just takes a certain level of mental ability. sorry dude

It doesn't really require a certain LEVEL of mental ability, rather than a certain STYLE. A friend of mine has difficulty doing square and cubed numbers (he is in grade 10), but he can solve a Rubik's cube in one minute and two seconds.

i learned the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 from a 9 year old kid on youtube. he was quite a good teacher, i mean, hell.. i learned it from him. now... if he'd just do a tutorial on the alexanders star... *sigh* its the last two pieces that always get me on the star. >.0 OP: no worries.. just keep on trying. when id mess up, id mix the entire cube up again and start over. and over. and over. and over. finally, the patterns sunk in. good luck! =]

I'm 13. I learned to do them about 3 weeks ago - at first it was taking me two minute, and I was really slow. After the last 3 weeks I've improved my speed to 42.4 seconds. And I think I can get to maybe 25 seconds after another 2 or 3 months. To summarise, YOU SUCK! AHAHAHAH!
