Today, my husband was planning on getting me my favorite movie as an anniversary present; I ended up buying it. He had to give me the money and leave because he is severely arachnophobic and couldn't even pick up the box. I have to hide the movie for fear of it being destroyed. Again. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, trying to be romantic, I invited my girlfriend over to watch a movie. I said she could pick one up on the way, and I'd pay for it later. I ended up having to suffer through some "movie" that involved nothing but Nicolas Cage gurning like a stroke victim between crappy fight scenes. FML
Today, the guy I'm dating found out I have severe arachnophobia. He downloaded a picture of a huge, hairy spider and set it as background on my iPhone. I can't even unlock my phone, as every time I try, the spider pops up and I drop the phone. He laughs every time I do it. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML
Today, I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 with my boyfriend. In hopes of him putting his arm around me or holding my hand, I told him that I was very scared and pretended to cry a little. He told me to be quiet because I was ruining the movie for him. Then he moved seats. FML
Today, I asked a girl I like to the movies. Wanting her to lean on me and stay in my arms during the movie, I chose a horror film. I screamed like a pussy the whole time. FML
Today, my roommate thought it would be a good idea to show me his huge new tarantula despite knowing that I have extremely severe arachnophobia. I ended up killing it with a book and apparently now owe him $500. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years got down on one knee with the most beautiful ring box I’d ever seen. My heart raced and my eyes immediately filled with tears in anticipation! When he finally opened it, a fucking spider was inside! I nearly shat myself in terror while he laughed hysterically. FML
Today, my girlfriend, KNOWING I have severe arachnophobia, changed the wallpapers on my phone and tablet to pictures of tarantulas, all because she's mad at me. And she won't change it back. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML
Today, I found out my husband put a parental block on the TV so I couldn't rent a movie. I'm 42. FML

C'mon people, use your head. We all know Charlotte's Web takes the cake.

Er...the thought that counts? I hope he's okay. It must be one hell of a movie.

Spider-Man?

This fml is somehow both sad, sweet, and funny. Really want to know what the movie is though...I can't think of any movies that prominently feature spiders or have them on the that are good enough to be someone's favourite movie...the best I can come up with is Charlotte's Web but she's really small and not normally on the cover...

I did also think Eight Legged Freaks but I don't really think it's good enough to be a 'fave movie' for most people? And it's unlikely to be Spiderman because he's mostly the man part...

Arachnophobia is a famous movie featuring spiders and it is a favorite of a lot of people.

The movie "Arachnophobia"

Sorry, but do you REALLY need to OWN this movie when even the box freaks him out? At least stick something over the cover so he doesn't have to look at that.

Can anyone explain this FML. I don't understand it.

OP's husband has a phobia of spiders, and OP's favorite movie apparently has spiders on the cover of the dvd case.

It would have been helpful if the name of the movie was mentioned.

Thanks 31. Eight Legged Freaks can be pretty scary.
unknown_user5566 27
I feel kind of bad for your husband. I hope you just put the movie in a blank dvd case, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Spider man?

For people thumbing me down... I beat the person who said, Spider-Man obviously, under comment number one by 12 minutes! Oh well...

That must have really bugged the both of you.

Not really. Not in the way eight legged freaks does. P.s. Were The Capitalisations Really Necessary? Or Do You Just Like To Annoy People?

I Actually Have That Habit Of Capitalizing Everything I Type. I Got Used To It From Playing Online Computer Games.

You Should Get Out Of That Habit Pretty Quickly If You Ever Want To Have A Grown Up Job.

Only Do This When Necessary. It wasn't necessary? Don't do it.

Jesus...

No, friend, Jesus has nothing to do with this.

That error in this FML... It bothers me.
