Today, I spent all day handing out flyers advertising my services as a psychic. I got only one call. The caller wanted to inform me that I had misspelt the word "psychic" on my flyer. She was right. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML
Today, after all of the business cards for the car dealership that I work for were printed, the phone number was wrong, and the lady got so pissed about getting so many calls that she told them that they had won a free car. I had to tell dozens of ecstatic customers that they hadn't. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML
Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelled the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML
Today, while at work at a maternity and baby clothes store, I was supposed to send out an email about our "Beat the Clock" sale. After it was sent to over 500 people, I realized that I'd misspelled the subject line. It read, "Beat the Cock Sale." FML
Today, I had to repeatedly explain to an increasingly angry lady that no, she couldn't get an ultrasound by using a referral letter from her psychic. FML
Today, I got a call from an ad agency offering me a job. I was so excited, because I've been looking for work for a few months now and really wanted to work for them. An hour later, they called apologizing, because they'd made a mistake and offered the job to the wrong person. FML
Today, I got a missed call from a lady at an employment agency asking why I hadn't turned up to an information session for a potential job. Yesterday, the same lady told me the job position was canceled. FML
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have a feeling someone called you recently regarding your flier. I also feel that business has been going a little slow for you too. it's ok eventually you will see that anyone can be a psychic as long as they put their mind to it. or you will come to find that you can't do shit and are to stupid to get a real job. that will be $60.

Hmmm, OP maybe you should look into getting a real job...but first learn to spell...

Spellcheck is a new feature isn't it?
CitizenSnipz 0
By asking general questions that apply to most people, you can appear to be psychic. I see a white car... and a man in a chair. And a dress... Then the psychic's client will search their memories... and "My mother uses to have a white car! My dad eats at a cafè! I'm married!"

I WAS GONNA POST THAT YOU BASTARD!

Yeah, did you misspell 'psychic' as 'fraud'?
chogle 8
Mispelt, really? I think you meant "misspelled."
marmlr339 14
lol

Both are actually valid. If we're going to mock the OP, we should do it because they are a con artist or because they do not spellcheck their business fliers, not because they used a non-mainstream spelling in their FML.

It isn't a bullshit profession but rather a profession of bullshit.

yeah and if he was really a psychic he would have predicted that his life was goin to be a BIG FAIL

exactly what I was thinking.
marvin_fml 0
If the OP really was psychic, why would she need to put up flyers in the first place? Wouldn't a true psychic already know who needs their services? And a true psychic would of course know their phone number.. I'd like to speak to a psychic.. I'm sitting at home waiting for one to call me.

jcrev 0
name jokes aside, spelling and grammar are not the same thing. just sayin'.
MrSassypants 34
157 but it goes with it and besides you call "English" teachers grammar teacher not spelling teacher. (I put English in " just in case). Also I couldn't put a period between Mr and sassypants but I should've capitolized the s.
Judahsh 8
most english teachers, teaching above third grade level, dobt actually teach or test on spelling. Thats sonetging you're sort of expected to learn yourself.

You could have at least bought the English language a drink before you raped it.

Allow me to translate. I understand (though do not speak) idiot. This commenter is not an idiot but was pretending to be for the sake of comedy, and to show that OP is an idiot. "I do cold readings (or make shit up) with cards and cannot spell. FML" All clear now?
Rei_Ayanami 18
Oh! I know this one! Is it spent? With my luck, it somehow isn't.

Before you bash someone's attempt to be funny and sarcastic perhaps you would like to use proper grammar. You can start by capitalizing the first letter of your sentences. I know it was hard to see that mistake from so deep in your ass, but that is still NO excuse!

that was funny 38.

ilikefmlalot - Around here, stupid is a language. One must study hard to learn how to translate. My interpretation skills are available any time.
tygerarmy 35
Thank you DocBastard. I didn't rape the English language I just slipped something into it's drink. I thought it would enhance the experience. Plenty of people on fml speak stupid. It's all the grammar and spelling Nazi's who correct a post with one mistake to make several of their own.

Going to psychics is a symptom of being lobotomised, so I would assume psychics are just there to tell the mad scientists who isn't ripe for experimentation.
