Today, I was testing out my new webcam on an msn Video Call with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. In an attempt to look cool, I pretended to have a very interesting phone conversation. Later I found out my webcam has a mic. She "heard" the whole thing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a video call with a couple of old friends, but the conversation sort of got boring, so I started mouthing words so they'd think the connection was bad and end the awkwardness. Then, as soon as they hung up the call, I realized I'd left my music on in the background the whole time. FML
Today, I was on Skype with the guy I like. After a while of being on Facebook I forgot I was on webcam to him and started picking my nose. He ended the call. FML
Today, I was talking to a friend of mine over webcam, when I saw a scary looking man in a grey hoodie creeping around in the background. I loudly proclaimed "Paige! Who is that creepy looking guy behind you?" Turns out it was her mom. She heard everything. FML
Today, I had some “me time” at my computer. I'm not quiet. Finished up only to discover that I was still signed into voice chat on my computer in a public server from a previous conversation with a friend. I don’t think anyone heard me, but what if they did? FML
Today, I was on webcam with someone and the conversation died so I said "brb". I sat there for five minutes not realising I had left my webcam on. FML
Today, I joined a video meeting 5 minutes early and spent the time quietly complaining about one of my coworkers to my friend. When the meeting started, I realized my microphone had been on the entire time. Said coworker was the first person to say hello. FML
Today, I was Skyping with a guy I'm really into. I'm not supposed to Skype at night, so when I heard my mum coming, I minimized the window. She walked in before I could mute my mic and started bitching me out for flushing my tampons down the toilet. FML
Today, my crush went on webcam on MSN. He looked really adorable, so I took about 6 screen shots and copied them into paint. I accidentally took a screenshot of my screen with all the pictures on paint and copied it into the conversation. FML
Today, I had to prepare a good setup to video chat with my friend in Hong Kong. I was so focused on the right lighting and angle, I didn't pay attention to what was in the background… Until my friend started giggling because she saw my tighty whitey-clad ass in the reflection of the mirror behind me. FML
Today, my friend and I were filming football practice and talking about what guys on the team were attractive and who we would want to get it on with. We didn't realize that the camera was recording everything that we said. The tape was played to the entire team the next day. With sound. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I never knew people look cool while on the phone.

YDI all the way. when you try to impress someone, you usually end up looking stupid.

why would you do a video call if you thought you had no mic? what, you like stare at each other lovingly? sign language?

No, they instant message each other. It is MSN after all. Think things through before you comment.

so you're saying it's perfectly normal to have to look at someone while you IM them? right, that's not weird at all. think things through before you make a smart ass remark.

You should think before you insult someone, yo. You don't make sense.

if i was trying to talk to someone and they were yacking away on the phone, i would think that they were extremely rude or not at all interested in talking to me. i certainly wouldn't think "gee, they sure are cool, to have such a busy social life." your friend would probably find it a lot cooler if you took the time to actually talk to her and listen to what she had to say, especially since you hadn't seen her in awhile so you probably had lots to talk about. also, i'm with 34, what's the point of a video call if you can't talk? just to stare at each other?

how the hell do you not know that webcams have built-in mics now. wtf. and YDI also for pretending to have a phone conversation.... but I suppose it is a "You're life sucks" for being desperate enough to look cool to do something that stupid.

If you include the phrase, "In an attempt to look cool," you automatically deserve it.

How could you not know your webcam has a mic when you're using it for a VIDEO CALL!?!? YDI

If she was your "friend", why would you feel the need to impress her? Wouldn't the fact that she's your friend show that she's already impressed? Then again, if you fail enough to (1) try to impress someone by being on a the phone, (2) not actually say anything out loud when you do it like you're some sort of mime, and (3) not know your webcam has a mic, you're probably one of these people who actually uses the term "frenemy" in their everyday life. So yeah, YDI.
