Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, after a long night of studying, my roommate and her friends decided it would be fun to throw a mini party in my room at 7am. FML
Today, I was walking with my very attractive friend who I like a lot. She then told me that her roomate wouldn't be home tonight, and if I wanted, I could come over and study history. I didn't get it. I told her no thanks, that I was covered, and it was chem I needed to study. An hour later, I understood. FML
Today, my friend wasn't responding to my whispers in the library, so I walked over and very slightly moved his chair. At that exact moment, the librarian walked in. Regardless of our efforts to tell her anything, she got us banned from the library. FML
Today, it's been five days since my roommate last talked to me. Although she's not communicating with me verbally, she's excelling at non-verbal communication: slamming doors and drawers, and watching loud videos, all while I desperately try to study. FML
Today, after a long day, I decided to study. I was so tired and anxious that I couldn't. When I actually started, a neighbour started making a hole in his wall. FML
Today, I was doing homework in the living room when my mom came in and started blasting music and cleaning. When I asked if she could turn it off so I could study, she bitched at me about "My house, my rules." She also has a rule that we can’t do homework in our rooms because of too many distractions. FML
Today, I listened to my roommate and her friend struggle with their math homework for an hour. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I'm a math major and repeatedly offered my help. They'd rather fail math than be around me. FML
Today, while studying for a big test at the library, some idiots started playing hide-and-seek. After putting up with their snorting and giggling for nearly an hour, I finally lost my shit and told them to knock it off. I then got kicked out for causing a disturbance. FML
Today, I tried to get ready for a final. I had about six hours to study. My girlfriend decided to help by jabbering loudly in my ear about celebrity gossip, noisily cleaning the office and losing my notes, and getting in a screaming argument with her mom over the phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI. If people are working let them be. Interrupt them only to offer a hot beverage not more than once an hour.

Here is a Simple Plan to avoid such situations. When you see someone's bussy don't talk to them. I mean if one person thinks something it's their problem, but when more agree you are the problem

Agreed. No idea why folks try to talk to bussy people anyway; all they ever do is make honking sounds and have wheels that go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round all 'round the town. Ugh.

Alternatively, if someone interrupts you when you're busy, let them know you'd like to be left alone. If you don't give any indication that you're bothered by the interruption then people aren't likely to know that they need to stop. I spend so much time on my laptop it's pretty much impossible to know if I'm working or playing Sims without me telling you, the only way OP would be solely at fault here is if they have been told multiple times and have ignored the warning. In which case, they're an asshole.

This fml desperately needed a YDI button...

It's on the app for me.

I'm thinking maybe you ought to self-reflect and consider if maybe you are a gabber. Especially if you're interrupting others.

As Ralph Kramden used to say to his wife, "Do you know what you are? Do you know?? You, Alice, are a BLABBERMOUTH!"

Speaking as a student studying for final exams... YDI. I frequently have to remind myself not to stab any person that talks to me while I'm studying in the eyeball. Silence!

Grammar police here, hoping you're not an English major. You study inside an eyeball?
Talis99 26
This isn't a failure in grammar. It's based on the way you say it, the inflection, and is still grammatically correct.
torbey 23
No #14 not an English major. But I am mentally exhausted enough to not particularly care about my sentence structure in a FML comment! I think people got what I meant ;)

Nope. To be correct, it would need a couple of commas at the very least.
tosdyke 16
...Judging by the length of your fml, she was completely correct.

I LOVE your user name, OP. Epic reference!

Perhaps you're a socially inept turtle like myself, in which case, I deeply sympathize.

Maybe you're just more disruptive than you realize.

try being quite once in a while
zeeba_neighba 10
She's already "quite". It's the quiet part that's pissing off the rest of her world.
