Today, my school is having a mandatory class on etiquette. We've just now progressed onto forks after a long, tedious discussion on spoons. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was eager to learn how to use chopsticks, as I was in a nice Chinese restaurant and had ordered noodles. As I was visibly struggling to eat, the server brought me a fork. When I reached for it, I flicked a noodle into a lady's soup at the next table. FML
Today, I was so bored that I spent two hours researching the history of spoons. FML
Today, I ate out, even though I was tired. When my main course arrived, I realised I had sent both my forks away with the starter plate. Rather than say anything, I ate dinner with two knives. FML
Today, a white guy tried to teach me to use chopsticks properly. I'm Chinese and have been using them since I could eat. FML
Today, during my second day on the job, I ate pasta with a pen in the backroom. My old job provided plasticware, and it never occurred to me to pack a fork. FML
Today, I was doing my homework on the computer when my dad walked by with a plate of food, threw his fork at me, and said "POSTURE!" FML
Today, my mom insisted on making my lunch. She didn't know that knives are banned at my high school, and packed me a steak knife for cream cheese. I'm now suspended for 7 days, and she refuses to say that she did anything wrong. FML
Today, my freshman students got in a fist fight over a chair. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, I learned that my aunt, who lives with us, is using our chopsticks in her hair and putting them back in the utensil drawer without washing them. I'm the one that uses chopsticks the most. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I took that class. my friend and I spent he entire thing messing around and building things out of our napkins and silverware.... When we got to knives we would act like we were stabbing people of throwing them.... I never liked that class..... FYL is right! etiquette class sucks and is so long! no one wants to know about different spoons and forks!!!!!

Screw sporks, that's all we have at my school is sporks, what I would give for a fork.

There are huge budget cuts in education in my state, and your school is wasting money on this crap? I mean, come on, there has to be something more useful they could be teaching you.

it's crazy that there are schools that still do that.. I guess the majority of society's parents are too lazy to teach their kids manners?

Actually that is a great class to have. Etiquette is so important! Nobody wants to be on a date or at an event and sit with someone who has bad etiquette. I come from a big family of 13 kids, and my parents have always taught good etiquette, and now I teach it to my kids. Would you want to be on a date with someone who has bad etiquette? I think not.
