Today, I found out my handwriting is so bad that people think I write in Arabic. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized I am one of those people who has trouble reading their own handwriting. It looks like someone trying to write in cursive when they don't even have the slightest idea what cursive writing even is. I do know what it is. I'm just very, very rusty. FML
Today, my ten-year-old sister had to write out my job application because no one can read my terrible handwriting. FML
Today, I had to re-grade a student's assignments because neither he, nor his parents can read "Spanish." I'd written in cursive. FML
Today, I had to make a poster for social studies. I decided to write "Nice ass" in hieroglyphics. Turns out my teacher can read hieroglyphics. FML
Today, I finished the rather expensive Arabic language course I have been taking for about 6 months. I still can't hold a conversation, but I can now say, "May Allah give you a headache and you are stuck in Beirut's traffic for two hours." FML
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I wrote in my own yearbook with different styles of handwriting so my mom would think I have friends. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I received a Saturday detention because the assignment I'd handed in had different handwriting. I've been practicing my handwriting skills for the past month. FML
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I just have to say...OP, that takes some skill actually.

نتهزممههخفمسمسن ...I think i just wrote "supercalifragalisticexpialadocious"

ADDENDUM: Using my rudimentary Arabic skills, the phrase in question phonetically translates to "fee-hez muh-muh-heh-heh khuf-mum-see-mum-see-muh." Which is NOT a word of any kind. I apologize for any misdirection. Parsley

Hum.. It's actually "net-hez..." rather than "fee-hezz...". "Fee-hezz" would look like فهزز. Not that anybody cares.

Now that's not very nice now is it #139? If you're going to make such a mean comment about the FML community, at least be man enough to say it in English.

FYI all, translation of dear Mr. Lonewolf: you're all mentally ill asses.

It's not bad if it's your own font. :)
baseballchris01 4
I'm pretty sure Arabic is not OP's own font.
oj101 33
At least it's not comic sans.

It's a font. I should know I'm friends with Arabic.

I need to enter this into my Idiot-English Translation Engine: *whir* *bzzz* *click* *DING* "Well that's too bad. I hope things get better and you can turn your chicken scratch into better handwriting. Snorting dried rhinoceros semen makes me omit words!"

Oh dear god. I'm laughing so hard, I think I'll be in need of a doctor. xD

#25: You replied to #5 regardless. So much for abstaining from replying to him.

I still can't categorize this comment whether it is a little racist and stereotyping or just pure funny....
TheDrifter 24
Humor, to me, is a fine line between utterly brilliant and magnificently offensive. I assure you, no malice intended.

You should definitely apply to medical school, but be sure to hand write your application. You're guaranteed to be accepted with such atrocious penmanship.

Glad to hear that from an experience doctor such as yourself

I have met at least one physician with nice handwriting (my mom). Every other one I have known, their handwriting is horrible for some reason. Its like they possess a "bad penmanship" gene.
mbuck87 19
I'm sure your mom writes terribly at work. She wouldn't still be a doctor otherwise
skyeyez9 25
I always thought she had a school teacher's handwriting. Its very pretty and damn near perfect. I on the other hand, have mediocre handwriting and my dad who is also a physician has terrible handwriting. Both have been doctors since 1985.

Oh, well, come listen to some hot Tunis at Moroccan house. Try to get a Riyadh over here and Dubai the beer. Enough that we all end up face-down in the Qatar.

You should ask someone to translate it. You may be sending yourself secret coded messages.
