Today, I was driving around with a few friends when one of them suggested we go in to an insurance company's office and sing their jingle. I'm an awful singer, so I was planning on lip syncing. Everyone else had the same idea. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was singing and drumming on the steering wheel in my car while stuck in traffic, only to realize the car next to me was full of my carpooling coworkers, all staring at me in disbelief. They spent the day at the office requesting songs. FML
Today, I was singing while driving through the car park. I blacked out trying to hit a high note, and ended up bashing into another car. FML
Today, I was singing loudly in my car at a red light, completely oblivious. When I finished the song, I turned to see a bus full of passengers watching (and also some of them filming) my performance. FML
Today, I tried singing in front of my friend. She said, "That's a hilarious voice! You should use that voice when telling jokes!" FML
Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML
Today, while driving and singing, I noticed a large fly inside my car. I stopped singing so it wouldn't fly into my mouth. That didn't stop it from flying up my nose, causing me to swerve and drive into a ditch. FML
Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML
Today, I had my earbuds in while walking to work. I was so into a particular song that I didn't notice I was singing out loud despite people being around. A random jogger gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Shit voice, wrong lyrics." FML
Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to sing karaoke after saying no for years. The lyrics screen froze halfway through the song, and everyone expected me to keep going from memory since I picked it. It turns out I only knew the chorus. I hummed for an entire verse as bemused strangers politely clapped along. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That must've been awkward on a whole new level ...

Well, lucky for you that you didn't sing out loud. If you were the only one... xD

I feel bad laughing at them. It sounds SO awkward. I can easily imagine it though. YDI, especially the friend that suggested it.

Yes thank you, but I'm sure we could all imagine how it went without your help

3- Not bashing you at all, but I always saw fit to count up :) Just an opinion. "And a one, and a two, and a one, two, three -" Maybe it's just me.

28- That's what musicians do, thought you'd know (you need a 4, also).

#20 jeez dont be rude i thought that was funny....grumpy

Actually most jazz people leave out the 4 and usually you here a pop from the drums on that beat. If no drums you might hear something else but its probably not a 4

Well if it's in three four you don't need the four.

Don't suggest a dumb idea and not go through with it. YDI.

Technically he/she did go through with his/her idea.

It says one of the friends suggested it, not the OP. The OP was probably just dragged along with them.

#4 if I have a dumb idea I usually prefer not to go through with it...

I was thinking the same thing #40. I think there are plenty of dumb ideas you cant go through with because if you do go through, you'll probably end up hurt or in trouble.

That is a hilarious image though, a bunch of rag-tag lip-synchers who aren't even singing the song in-sync since they can't hear each other, and the people at the office just seeing a bunch of people mime in awkward disorder.

I can only imagine the awkward silence that followed this, at least you didn't sing, you would of been the only one!

They should have let you sing. Most insurances do cover bleeding from the ears!
