Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, I texted someone and typed, "lol". My boyfriend asked me why I put "lol". I told him because I thought it was funny. He looked at me weird and said, "But you didn't laugh." Now he thinks I'm weird because I didn't actually laugh out loud. FML
Today, my coworker keeps loudly saying things like, "Oh, now THIS!" If I don't ask, "What?" she pouts. If I do ask, she tells me, at length and with very bad grammar, how every one of our colleagues and partners is either stupid, rude or out to get her. FML
Today, I was on a work call when my coworker made an accidental Freudian slip. Thinking I was muted, I muttered, "That’s what she said." I wasn’t muted. FML
Today, I yet again heard a friend say "YOLO" as if it's a word. It was so annoying that I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face and offering him the chance to suck on one of my turds, since apparently "YOLO." FML
Today, my boss walked in and said something I didn't quite hear, but my co-worker chuckled so to be polite, I laughed with him. They gave me some weird looks. My boss was actually talking about his wife's tumor and my co-worker was coughing. FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I tried to compliment a coworker on her new haircut, saying, “Wow, it makes you look so much younger!” She raised an eyebrow and replied, “You mean I looked old before?” My brain short-circuited and I followed up with, “No, no, you just… looked older.” Everyone within earshot laughed while I wanted to crawl under the desk. FML
Today, I mistakenly sent a voice message to my boss while imitating him in a comical way. The message contained my spot-on impression, complete with exaggerated jargon and phrases he frequently uses. I didn't realize it until I received a reply saying, "LOL, nailed it!" FML
Today, I was asleep and snored so loud that I woke myself up. I was at work and I am now the laughing stock of the office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

young, dumb, and full of... nope, your coworker's brain was on empty... that's when you break out a dictionary for the ignorant ones and give them a grammar lesson

As my mom would say, "ohhh, poor sweetie! You're retarded!"

Your mom sounds awesome. Do you think she'd adopt me?

I don't think a dictionary would be enough... Throw in a thesaurus while you're at it.

Put one of those Word of the day calendars up, or put a dictionary next to the toilet. It could encourage further enhancing ones vocabulary.

Ugh. Too many people on this planet. Too bad the survival of the fittest no longer applies to our pathetic race.

You're one pathetic egotistical wannabe know-it-all.

Because someone is book smart doesn't mean they would make it in that kind of environment.

Survival of the fittest depends on the definition of fittest. Smart people are likely to survive because they can contribute intellectually. Strong people can contribute physically. Talented people (artists, musicians, cooks, etc) can all contribute to bettering the lives of others. What about when someone contributes nothing to the world? The government protects them for some reason. Many people believe that those who never have and never will contribute anything should be cut loose...

The problem with that is that smart people are the ones who are most likely to use contraception. While the morons breed like rabbits. In a hundred years it'll be a lot like Idiocracy. :(

And yet, wouldn't the world be a better place if there were occasional huge LOLs in business?

Lull -a temporary interval of quiet or lack of activity. I've heard of a lullaby but never "lull". However, I know it now. I can't be the only one that had to look that word up. (maybe I am) We can't all know everything without learning it first.

I didn't know what 'lull' meant either, but I'm not native English, so I suppose that's a good reason :p

People are using less complex array of vocabulary in speech every day. I can't blame people for not knowing words if people never use them. Not everyone will remember every word they looked up in english/reading class in high school.

That's exactly the problem. The reading people do in high school isn't enough. It used to be that people read on a regular basis voluntarily, for the enjoyment of the brain exercise.
