Today, I walked in on my mom drenched in tears, barely able to speak. I ran to get her some tissues and a nice cup of tea to calm her down. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I asked her if she wanted to talk about what happened. She watched an episode of Gossip Girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML
Today, I woke up to a blood-curdling scream from the living room. I jumped up and went running, only to find out it was my mother, who'd screamed at some dramatic plot twist in a Sex and the City episode. FML
Today, I walked through my college dorm and a freshman was watching some overly dramatic show on her laptop. I smiled and asked if it was a new episode of 'Gossip Girl.' She was on a video chat with her boyfriend. They were about to break up. FML
Today, I heard my mom sobbing in the bathroom. Concerned, I went in to see what was wrong. I found her sitting on the toilet, pants down and a cigarette between her fingers. When I asked what was going on, she looked up at me and slurred that we'd run out of "shit-wipes." FML
Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML
Today, I was feeling depressed. I overheard my mom crying on the phone. She said, “If my daughter kills herself, who’s going to do the dishes?” FML
Today, I went for a run. When I got home, no one was there so I took off my clothes and laid on the cool wood floor. I decided to call my girlfriend and we started talking in baby voices. That's when my mom walked into the house witnessing everything. FML
Today, I was crying after having argued with my boyfriend. My mom saw me, she asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you have homework to do?" FML
Today, I had red eyes from crying, and everyone assumed that my mom, who has been seriously ill, had died so they tried comforting me. It was quite embarrassing to have to tell them that it was because I'd just watched the last episode of season 4 of Veronica Mars. FML
Today, I told my mom that I'd vomited blood. She simply said, “Good” and went back to watching TV. FML

I'm all for being immersed in films and series and stuff, really getting emotions out; catharsis and all that... But Gossip Girl?

Was the show that bad?

I read OP's name first and expected a completely different king of fml. Now the name is just confusing me.

Some gossip girl episodes do give a legitimate reason to cry. But still... FYL

No, they don't.

This just makes me sad...I used to be a fan of Gossip Girl and never once did I cry over it. I personally believe Gossip Girl is stupid and dumb. Why do people even watch it?

Stupid AND dumb? Holy.

72 why don't you ask yourself? You used to watch it

Cry with her, watch them together.

OP probably has good taste

Then she'll probably cry because her mom actually watched the show and cried about it.

I feel for you, some of my family members have horrible taste too. :/

I'd cry too if I sat through an episode of that. What a waste if time.
mb2_native 15
So that's why your picture is of an engine light, broke down from even attempting to watch it haha
supportcommand 17
No. I would never attempt something so foolish.
mb2_native 15
I tried and failed haha, I never watched the show so I don't even know what exactly it is or about. Everything I'm hearing about it, I don't think I'm going to try either.

She watched an episode of Gossip Girl where Lassie died? Where Bambi's mom died? Where Mufasa died? Where Marley died? Where Dumbledore died? Come on, there must be more to the story!

When you don't know how to write a good plot for a show, just make sure there's a lot of death and a lot of sex, the two key components for an easy crowd tease+please.
Silent_Thrill 17
Never add the two, though! Necrophilia isn't a huge crowd pleaser, unless you're Clerks, that is.

Hey, how do you think true blood was so successful? ;)

And don't forget that new movie coming out soon: "Warm Bodies." I actually suspect that it's a parody of popular vampire love stories like "Twilight" and "True Blood." Somebody must have thought, "Hey, why are vampires the only undead getting any action? Zombies need love too, right?" Still, I do find it intriguing.

It was actually a really good movie. Romantic comedy with action and all. Nothing like shitty Twilight or True Blood.

I think I was sadder when Dobby died,than when Dumbledore died

Really???? Come on... Lol. It's just a tv show. Its not like it has anything to do with her life for real. Good luck op.
supportcommand 17
That's probably true, but maybe she's a little mental and thinks its reality. Some people are like that. Remember when Homer write fan letters to Die Hard?
supportcommand 17
*wrote* dammit. I'm going to get killed for that mistake.
