Today, while bored at work I was reading an article online about the local zoo and its animals. I received an email so quickly responded, but when signing off accidentally wrote "thanks hippo" instead of "thanks heaps". To a woman with a weight problem. Who also outranks me. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to a female friend online. She was typing out a story bit by bit about how awful she was feeling after being teased. I was responding with, "So, so true" but because of my slow typing it appeared after she wrote, "Doesn't help being fat." FML
Today, at 1 am, I got a message from a colleague, who I have never met, bossing me around requesting "immediately, ASAP" some information a monkey could've found online in 5 minutes. I told her that she sounded rude and unorganised. Ten minutes later, I got a mail from my boss asking me to apologise to her. I did. FML
Today, a girl who has had a problem with me for as long as I can remember, tagged me in a Facebook status update in which she equated my intelligence to that of a mollusk and equated my weight to that of a hippopotamus. My boyfriend, as well as several of my "friends," liked it. FML
Today, I was emailing a government employee at the place I'm hoping to get hired by. I realized too late I had been emailing her with my personal email address, which is rather jokey and unprofessional. She noticed and started referring to me as that. FML
Today, I meant to forward an email to my friend mocking a coworker's email, but I hit "reply" instead of "forward". FML
Today, I sent a reply-all email to my entire company that said "Go tit" instead of "Got it". FML
Today, I accidentally sent my boss a meme about hating work. Her reply? "Same." FML
Today, I got on an elevator with a woman and her child. I was the first one on. When she stepped on, the capacity alarm went off. As she left she told her daughter that's why fat people shouldn't be allowed in public. I'm 145 lbs. She was twice my size. I got called fat by a hippopotamus. FML
Today, I was emailing my department about a huge meeting we’re going to have. I was also emailing back and forth with another colleague about office gossip. I absentmindedly replied to the wrong email. I hit reply all to the meeting e-mail, saying that the new supervisor of X department was "so fucking retarded." FML
Today, I received an email from a potential employer with an awesome job opportunity. I was so excited, I immediately went to forward the email to my husband. My email included a lot of "I love you" and "we are going to celebrate tonight ;)". In my excitement, I hit reply instead of forward. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Today, while bored at work I was reading an article online about the local zoo and its animals.

Who also outranks me. FML."

Wrong again 65. The vast majority of Americans are derptacular.

now just cause 45# is a dumbass doesn't mean Americans aren't cool people. its usually based on the Americans on the Internet. not the country.

you totally deserved it. you left out the part where you called her a hippo in your head because you were thinking about the zoo and that she was fat, so you then wrote it in the message. Word of advice, proofread messages at work.
angel55033 12
thanks hippo. :). I thought it was funny haha

Typical woman. Blame the man on an accident. But when a woman is in the wrong and puts it here, you immediately try to sympathize with her. Get back in the kitchen.

I see what you did there.

OP is a woman, a stupid one, but a woman nonetheless sadochan.

Typical man. Pulls out sexism whenever he sees any type of male-bashing. But when a man is in the wrong and puts it here, you immediately try to high five him.

#5 - O.o I just tried to read this four times and couldn't figure out what you were trying to say. Learn English, plzkthx? *Twitch*
Blehhxx 0
I was typing really fast and it didn't come out right. I meant write her back telling her it was an accident and why don't you learn proper English before insulting someone else.
Parah_Salin 0
If you needed to read that four times before you understood what Bleh was trying to say, I suggest you brush up on your English too.
lionandthelamb61 9
Of course, you deserve it. It's not like you were speaking with her and said it, it was an email! Thus, you have no excuse for why you didn't proofread it before sending it.

Exactly! I bet this happened though: "Oh shit, cancel, Cancel, CANCEL!!!!" *clicks a billion times* Your message has been sent. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Could've been avoided if OP used gmail.

I'd be shaking in my boots if I were you, son. Those mighty fierce hippos aren't known as the second deadliest animal for nothing!

Yeah, you have practically 0 chance of survival once one decides to charge at you...so hide the cupcakes.
