Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All of the computers were in use, so I decided to use my laptop instead. Ten minutes later, I was confronted and kicked out. My offense? Unauthorized use of the library's so-called "Free Public WiFi". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the library. I went near the computer section when I saw this man cursing and pounding his fists on a computer. He left. I thought I'd check it out. As I sat down, a librarian came over with the security guard and pointed at me. I'm now being fined for destroying public property. FML
Today, I was at the library, working with some classmates on our major semester project. I accidentally killed power to the row of computers by me. I've never had so many enraged faces looking at me before. FML
Today, I went to a library to return a book that I've had for years. After a heated discussion with the librarian, not only did she charge me over a hundred dollars for the book, she also called the cops to escort me out. FML
Today, at the library, somebody left themselves logged in to Facebook on a public computer after they had left. Trying to teach them a lesson, I updated their Facebook status to something outrageous. That's when they came back to the computer after getting something from the printer. FML
Today, I got banned from my school library after I ran after a guy who stole my bag. FML
Today, my friend wasn't responding to my whispers in the library, so I walked over and very slightly moved his chair. At that exact moment, the librarian walked in. Regardless of our efforts to tell her anything, she got us banned from the library. FML
Today, while studying for a big test at the library, some idiots started playing hide-and-seek. After putting up with their snorting and giggling for nearly an hour, I finally lost my shit and told them to knock it off. I then got kicked out for causing a disturbance. FML
Today, I was working on a project in my school's library when a group of teenagers came in and began talking and laughing and being loud. When I asked them to please quiet down, the librarian asked me to leave for being too loud. FML
Today, I rushed from work so I could get to the library to return a book that was due. The library closes at 7:00 p.m. I arrived at 6:56, huffing and puffing. The lady saw me, slammed the door in my face, and locked it. I now have to pay a late fee for 4 minutes. FML
Today, I tried to return a library book sneakily to avoid the overdue fine. I slid it on the counter but the scanner screamed, lights flashed, and the librarian announced my humiliatingly overdue name like a game show host. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You were using a Mac in a PC zone weren't you?

I sometimes park just outside of the library to mooch wifi on my iPhone. The sneaky feeling this gives me is priceless. Mind you, I probably just need to get out more... ;)

why else would they be at the library if they needed a computer? it's quiet and sometimes better than having to deal with it at Starbucks or at a noisy house.

Why would you write the exact same message as number 50? You DO realize that it's either going to be buried or removed, right?
Bakarra 22
56: Something that I've learned on fml the hard way, no matter how freaking stupid a comment is, directly saying that it is going to get buried or that it should be buried will get yourself buried.
sux4u121 10
70, saying that a comment is going to get buried because they said somebody else will get buried will get you buried.

50- God, be mature, BntyHntr...
ajh557 22
# 56 Says the one who just got buried... This will probably get me buried

Looks like third time around is safe though. :)

I can see if you were mooching at a coffee shop or cafe, but a library?
clairelolz 5
The baristas at a cafe don't mind the 'intimate' topic on the laptop but old ladies do! ;)

People do it all the time? I don't really see what your getting at.. Haha.

Sounds pretty ass backwards if you ask me! Research for homework should be considered an authorized use. You could make a complaint.

Why is this labeled as "sexual topic? "
GigaPudding_fml 24
Ah, so that's why they kicked you out OP...
imvee5599 7
Exactly what I was thinking!
boofgall 16
5- Well, now we all know what category YOU were looking in!
EMTchic 14
It doesn't say sexual topic... It's labelled as miscellaneous.

They changed it.

And this is why I don't look at **** at the public library anymore.
MrSassypants 34
Kind of strange because Free Public WiFi is the reason why I watch **** in the library.
gc327072 31
Pubic WiFi…?
Wimoweh 10
6- yeah, google incognito window sadly doesn't watch who's looking over your shoulder, I had the same problem.
garrett1999o3 16
I wonder what OP was doing on the computer,sine this is categorized as "intimacy"
ironichalibut 24
He says "research", but we all know now.
garrett1999o3 16
OP:Yup!I'm sure "studying" fellow "computer users" xD
cosmosis 12
Yeap. Watching **** in a library is a bad idea...

You obviously didn't read the fine print. Under it would've given a definition for the acronym 'FREE' Federal Restricted Electronically Enlisted Which means you had to sign up online before you could go online. Careless, careless OP.

You do know most people don't read the fine print. Not saying everyone doesn't but most of us don't because it's a hassle. Besides, when you see free wifi, you expect it to be free wifi... Not federal restricted whatever.

There! I see it! I see the joke! It's gone over there! If you hurry, you might catch it!

I feel like the FML comment section is going "brain-optional"

30-Real life is becoming brain-optional, and you're worried about FML comments?

Next time you use the library's free public wi-fi, use it to research Kafka. Or Kafka ****, as some of the previous commenters have insinuated.
Voij 16
Why did I decide to google that? Just... I don't get it, why did I google that? Seriously, why?!
MrSassypants 34
I was thinking of googling what #11 said but then decided not to. Now seeing #17's comment I have an even stronger urge to look it up. Must... resist....
rattusrattus 19
This was never my intention but it's funny as hell.
