Today, I was watching TV with my grandma. I said aloud, "Dang, that actor is hot." My grandma pointed out he was a spitting image of my cousin. I realized she was right, and that I may as well be attracted to my own cousin. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my girlfriend what she loves the most about me. She said it's the fact that I look like her cousin. FML
Today, I found out the guy i've been crushing on might be my cousin. Again. FML
Today, my date told me I have a smile that "reminds him of his grandma." Then he showed me a picture. I look exactly like her. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my family for the first time. Everyone quickly pointed out how my girlfriend looks very much like my cousin. My girlfriend even agrees. That’s not what I was going off of when I first met her but now I’m having a hard time un-seeing it. FML
Today, I went to a family reunion and made the mistake of wearing the same shirt as my cousin, who is known for always wanting to be the center of attention. She took one look at me, pointed, and said, “Oh, I see you’re copying me now, huh?” Then, my aunt overheard and said, “Well, she is your cousin, so it’s not like it’s a crime.” FML
Today, my aunt informed me that my cousin's only problem with his girlfriend is that she's not me. FML
Today, I went to a family dinner. While waiting to be seated, a guy walked by and I looked to see if he was hot. Then my grandma yelled, "Get your eyeballs back in your head and quit staring at boys!" The whole restaurant heard her. Including the guy. And yes, he was hot. FML
Today, I was on a plane with my grandma. A cute guy sat down next to her. She asked his age. He told her he was 16. She said, "Oh, that's how old my granddaughter here is." She then turned to me and said loudly, "You should switch seats with me, he's HOT!" Well, at least Grandma loves me. FML
Today, I had another dinner with the girl that I started dating a few weeks ago. During dinner, we talked about our families. We realized that we're actually cousins. FML
Today, I was complaining to my best friend about my weird cousin and how annoying he is whenever I see him (which isn't often, thankfully). She replied, “Isn’t that my boyfriend you're talking about?” Turns out, yes. Yes, he is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can find someone attractive without being attracted to them. You may recognize your cousin is good looking doesn't mean you wanna jump his bones!

Apparently we are all cousins by about 100 generations.... So might want to check how far down the line he is...

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with recognizing that someone is attractive. Whether or not you personally are attracted to them is unrelated to the knowledge that they are attractive.

His" bone" :3 ;D ...... Yea I tried .___.

Incoming incest attack?

I think Mila kunis is hot... Doesn't mean I'm going to rape her.
nevershoutkendal_fml 11
Are you related to Mila Kunis?
Futacy 30
Can anybody say "incest"?
ninjadinos 14
I...I can't do it!
ElmoSaysSquishy 28
Incest.
BlowinChronic 18
So because she finds an actor attractive that looks similar to her cousin.... That means she all of the sudden is in love with her cousin? I think not

27- Sorry, I just realied that I read this FML incredibly wrong.

What's a spitting image. I've never heard that.
luvbughug 5
The images are so close (similar) that they are within spitting distance

7- I never knew that's how the phrase was coined. That's interesting, thanks.
quite_bored 9
7, that's interesting how you made up your own origin. A quick Google search would prove you quite wrong.
gc327072 31
16- that's interesting how you made a lame/pointless correction, a quick look at your username told me why.
quite_bored 9
How was it pointless? It keeps people like 11 from getting incorrect information.
Shrike 24
Don't sweat it. People like gc327072 feel threatened by anything even approaching intelligent thought.

16- Thanks for letting me know. I feel so damn gullible now!
gc327072 31
Shrike, if you're going to "diss" me, please use evidence. Making claims is for children.
quite_bored 9
Nice edit there, gc.
gc327072 31
What're you talking about?

I saw what 26 said before you edited it. That's what I'm talking about.

38- How do I edit comments on the app?
quite_bored 9
Alright, you're obviously not going to fess up. Forget it. This is futile.
nevershoutkendal_fml 11
It's supposed to be "splitting image". But it got mixed around in the language just like couldn't care less/ could care less and flicking/flipping someone off.
quite_bored 9
Well 44, as with most things, it's origin is unclear. Another theory is it came from "spit and image" as in, you are the spit and image of your parents. This one, however, has more evidence.
gc327072 31
45- personally, I think the whole thing with the images "being within spitting distance of each other" sounds way more plausible/easy to see how that came about. That whole "of spit and image" thing... Not so much.
quite_bored 9
46, now that's where we disagree. The spitting distance one seems incorrect to me primarily because no one else even mentions that, making me think 7 just made it up (God knows why). Secondly, when would two images ever be within spitting distance because of similarity? (Other than a museum, but that still doesn't explain much) If you don't believe mine, feel free to look it up; the Straight Dope and numerous etymology websites explain it better than I do.
gc327072 31
Maybe tomorrow, I'm hella tired. And lol, spitting on paintings was what I imagined reading that comment.

47 - You /think/ he made it up... So you really have no evidence of which is right then.
onlychildFTW 34
No one cares how the saying came around...
oj101 33
So you're the one who needs glasses then?
supimnyancat 9
Wincest! What? Somebody was gonna say it.
gc327072 31
Somebody already did. Also, that's about as original as "I see what you did there"
sens3sfailing 25
39-you are retarded. Because you saw "25" first because they just replied to 1 you assumed that they said it before commenter number "10". I am pretty decent at math so I say with quite a bit of confidence that 10 said it first. But yes, it is still an unoriginal comment.

Is anyone else thinking of Karen Smith from Mean Girls? "Yeah, but he's like me first cousin."
ArielTheMermaid 17
"What? He's a good kisser." "He's your cousin." "Yeah but he's my first cousin."

"you have your cousins, then you have first cousins, second cousins" "oh honey, no"

Tell her you were kidding.

Your not the first to think a cousin is attractive. But I hope you don't act on it, cus thats not right at all.
