Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML

Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML

I'd like to thank…
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML

Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML

Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML

Congratulations!
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML

Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML

It's never like in the movies
Today, after giving a speech at college, I did the good ol' mic drop. The microphone fell with a loud bang that was heard through the clapping. FML

Yeah, because having the IQ of a peanut and working at Mcdonald's is "cool". Why would anyone look up to someone with the potential to get a real job and actual money?

31: Did your comment break the rules? Question the FML's validity? Mention a competing website or complain about anti-flood? Have you checked the website to see if it was actually moderated, or was it just eaten by the comment bug? If it was genuinely moderated and you don't know why, PM a mod or email the site staff to ask. They *want* you to know why it got modded so you can avoid the mistake in the future. They just can't email every single person to explain. If it got modded by mistake, they might fix it. 67: It has nothing to do with a mod's maturity. The staff CREATED, OWNS and REGULATES their website as they see fit, which is well within their rights. There are relatively few rules here, and each commenter agrees to every single one in the TOS agreement. It's not the mod's fault if someone hasn't bothered to read or abide by the agreement they've made (y'know, the way a mature person would.) If you don't like it, feel free to go elsewhere or create your own site. And BTW, I'm not on staff or affiliated in any official way with the site. I'm just sick of commenters complaining about the people who make this site awesome when *they're* the ones who are screwing up. You don't get free speech on a privately owned website. Deal with it.

It only sounded like everyone. Have no fear those that laughed or booed are probably jealous. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Don't let it bother you, OP. I bet most of 'em couldn't properly use "unbeknownst" or "undoubtedly" in a sentence if their lives depended on it. ;)
