Today, my girlfriend showed me a print of a Banksy that she'd just bought, telling me it was an original. When I tried to argue that it wasn't, she broke up with me for "implying she was a moron." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancée broke up with me because of an argument about a printer. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for cheating on her. Her "proof" was an image of me making out with a girl. Pretty damning, except she loaded it up in Photoshop, where I saw the image layers she'd used to fake the whole thing. I'm not sure what the hell she was thinking either. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, my boyfriend said "You're a real work of art. You know, the abstract kind that no one likes. Anyway, we need to break up." FML
Today, after I spent two hours trying to teach my girlfriend to play sudoku, she broke up with me, tearfully claiming that I'd made up a fake, imaginary game to make her feel stupid. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to break up with me because she found a bra in my cupboard. It was hers. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, because I was apparently "too good" for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. Because she farted, and thought it was "too awkward". FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after I told her that I'd never watched The Lion King. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, in other news, you are no longer IMPLYING she's a moron, because she proved it to you. Wouldn't she be your ex now?

While I agree that the manner in which they are all going ask about who Banksy is, and the abundance of these same posts, is going to be depressing, I think it's a little harsh to compare them to cave-dwellers lacking education just because they do not yet know who Banksy is. I mean I didn't know who Banksy was until today; I had to look him up on wikipedia. I do agree though that it shows that they don't know how to search for these things which is a few letters and an enter button away, though, which is a bad mind-set to have.

Humor her next time.

Yes, lie to your gf that is always the right thing to do. All sarcasm aside OP may want to inform his GF a bit more on this topic.

1- I wouldn't humor her, because that's setting her up for failure in the future (if she wanted to sell it or something). Instead of just telling her she's wrong, I'd suggest actually taking the time to (politely) prove to her that it's fake. Though I suppose it doesn't matter anyway, since she left him over such a silly argument.

20- It's not fake; it's just not an original. OP said it was a print, which is legitimate, just not worth as much money.
unknown_user5566 27
60- That's what I meant, that she might try to sell it for a much larger amount of money, and then be disappointed when she found out what it was worth. As for my "fake" comment, my apologies. I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't real, just that it wasn't authentic.

Why should he? I think he's better and saved his future children from a poorer gene pool

There's no way she's not a moron. She broke up with OP over something very stupid.

Heheh, shame we can't thumb up your comments. Funny stuff
unknown_user5566 27
Silly, silly Alan. If #3 took the time to Google "Banksy", they wouldn't have received a comment spot in the top 5. We all know that's what is the most important, right?

I hate the second, third, fourth, etc. person who has to ask. I try not to jump down the throat of the first because I've looked stuff up in the past and google led me very very astray, making me look like an even bigger dumbass for thinking I knew what I was talking about. And technically Alan, asking a question/definition on a public forum is a form of educating themselves, just not the method you'd prefer.
thatonename 7
Lol. Life Is ALWAYS better when your naked

24: I'd venture a guess that he was comparing them to cave dwellers because they don't know how to Google. Not because they didn't know who Banksy is.
Pleonasm 36
I get it now, thanks for the clarification. I do agree on that point, though. I don't know how the facilitation of information acquiring has seemed to make learning more of a task for some people. I didn't know commenting on FML in the nude could be so enjoyable. I might have to try it some day, might relax me, you never know.

That made me think of some naked jazz band singing something upbeat, it was pretty humorous, but I don't think the drummer would enjoy the vibrations so much.
unknown_user5566 27
Pleonasm, once you get used to commenting naked, you can upgrade to joining in on perdix's naked Zumba sessions.
Pleonasm 36
Why was I never informed about those? Et tu, Brute? It's probably for the best, anyway, perdix would just drool over my bodacious body, he wouldn't be able to get off my back about it... Sounded less gay in my head.

Tell me this: Banksy is a graffiti artist, right? How does one get a print of graffiti.....

Holy shit the pleonasm has been doubled?!!!?

No, just my girlfriend, don't worry. But yea she kind of is my body double.

A cave-dweller's best and probably only way of gathering information was to ask other cave-dwellers... So asking stuff here is exactly what cave-dwellers would do.

Quick question..... How has no one mentioned Exit Through the Gift Shop yet?
unknown_user5566 27
76- It was mentioned 64 comments ahead of yours.

I actually appreciates when someone asks because if someone's nice enough to reply with an answer it saves many a lot of looking up. I also love when people give obvious sarcastic but possibly believable answers to the naive. Either way.
lil_ham1644 29
Alan, and all the rest of you, are jerks! I'm usually game for making fun of people, but maybe she just didn't have time to google it, or just doesn't care enough to google it & is just waiting for the inevitable snarky answer. People who assume things are asses. I would tell you this to your face as well, so don't call me a wimp because I'm saying it through a computer screen.

Well if it makes you feel better OP she is dumb as rocks. You can take that as as a consolation prize.

You can buy original Banksy prints...

well, now you no longer have an idiot girlfriend. she got points for liking banksy, but she lost them all when she 1. BOUGHT a banksy print 2. clearly has no idea what banksy is or does. you obviously do. so, in conclusion 3. you deserve a better girl.
Pleonasm 36
She was banking on you to believe that it was an original, now that you chequed it and proved that it was false, she bounced. You can't count on people like that; they always withdraw when they don't want to invest anymore.

This would be hilarious if Banksy actually had something to do with banks..
Pleonasm 36
I know that, but I couldn't resist. Truth be told, a bell has tolled Inside my head; the puns unfold, and possess me to write That which I cannot withhold
monocyte 4
I understand.. It's like they possess you and you have to set them free.
Pleonasm 36
Precisely.
simoncat 11
When you break up with her, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP, and keep going.

I see what you did there :D

I can't be the only one who has no idea what a banksy is.
Pleonasm 36
You aren't. But it seems that although you say that you can't be the only one, you didn't check to make sure. Alan addressed someone else who had no idea, suggesting they use google. It's a good idea, you learn pretty quick what Banksy is.
