Today, my friend sent me a bumper sticker that said, "Do you know that gullible said slowly sounds like 'green bears'?" I spent quite a few minutes trying to get gullible to sound like green bears until I realized that it didn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that I've been saying a word wrong my whole life and all my friends have been too polite to correct me, when I found out that "Segue" and "Segway" are pronounced the same. FML
Today, I spent an entire conversation nodding and agreeing with someone, only to realize near the end that I'd misunderstood one key detail and was agreeing with the opposite of what they meant. I laughed awkwardly and said, “Oh, I thought you meant the other thing.” They said, “I know.” FML
Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML
Today, at work, I took an order from a stuck-up sounding lady over the phone. She said her last name was "duckling, but with an F". Bemused, I wrote her name on the order. When she arrived to pick it up later, she told me she'd said "s", not "f". FML
Today, I yet again heard a friend say "YOLO" as if it's a word. It was so annoying that I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face and offering him the chance to suck on one of my turds, since apparently "YOLO." FML
Today, my husband changed the voice on my car's GPS to Mr T's. I don't know how to change it back. I've been saying, "I pity the fool" over and over again ever since. FML
Today, I realized I’ve been saying “a whole nother” instead of “a whole other” my entire life. It wasn’t until my friend pointed it out with a smirk I’ve been speaking in an alternate universe. He was also the one to point out last year that my use of "like" every three words was "annoying and cringe." FML
Today, I met a really nice guy. He was funny, handsome, and we were both into each other. He told me his name, and when I replied with mine, it came out sounding like "I'm a bear." FML
Today, I wanted to look clever during a work meeting, so I used a thesaurus to find a fancy word for “important.” I ended up calling a project "pivotal" but mispronounced it as "pee-votal" in front of everyone. FML
Today, I mistakenly sent a voice message to my boss while imitating him in a comical way. The message contained my spot-on impression, complete with exaggerated jargon and phrases he frequently uses. I didn't realize it until I received a reply saying, "LOL, nailed it!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If someone sends you something containing the world gullible, ignore it and assume you're being tricked. It's a good rule to follow. Also, it took you thirty minutes to realize this? That's just sad.

Thankfully it didn't say "thirty" but "quite a few". Still, longer than an instant says to me the OP isn't the brightest of fellows.

Oops. How do you know I wasn't watching the OP? I could've been right there... No. I would've intervened. Still, 'quite' a few minutes is a lot more then the fifty seconds to turn your brain on or the two to three times it takes to say it out loud. Reminds me of the If You Seek Amy thing.

Someone changed it to 'quite a few' all of a sudden.. It did say 30 minutes originally :)

See shit like this is so not an FML. I submitted my FML and it wasn't posted. However everyone on myspace thought it was so an FML. Here's the FML Today, I took Nyquil to help me sleep. About fifteen minutes ago I realized that Nyquil arouses me more than anyone I've ever slept with. FML OP: YDI. You're a moron and you clearly need to go back to school. Seriously, how stupid can you be?

Ahahahahahaha. That's about as stupid as acknowledging the door you're about to walk into, yet still, SOMEHOW, walking into it! Good effort. You get a gold star! :oP

A few= 3 minutes ... Not 30

"Quite a few minutes" = "Thirty minutes" ?? Where did you see that?

I am very gullible and I also would have spent a long time trying to figure it out.

lol That's so cute. My mom was always gullible like that. Don't lose that naivete, but certainly, as the first commenter said, if it says "gullible" anywhere in the joke, assume you're being tricked.
