Today, I was getting my picture taken. The woman taking it told me to smile, so I did, showing my teeth. She said, "Please, be serious about this." Slightly offended, I smiled with my mouth closed. She then said, "If you can't be serious, we won't do this." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was getting my portrait done. The artist told me to smile. He looked at me, then said, "Oh, don't smile." FML
Today, while working at a hospital, I told a patient to smile for the camera when taking an xray. His response was, "I have Bell's Palsy and haven't smiled in 5 years." FML
Today, I was working at a portrait studio and was taking pictures of a little girl, I kept telling the girl to stop making silly faces when she smiles because her eyes go cross-eyed. After the third time I said it her mom grabbed the little girl and left. Turns out, she was naturally cross-eyed. FML
Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML
Today, I went to get my school picture taken, when the photographer looked at me, saying, "You look like you need a mirror." FML
Today, I have an orthodontist's appointment, and I told my best friend that I was going to get my teeth fixed. She replied, "Wow, thanks. Your smile's really awful to have to look at." FML
Today, I went to a work event and was having my picture taken with a coworker. Since we had done karaoke together, someone said we should pose like we were singing. I held my hand up like I was holding a mic and opened my mouth. It looked like I was performing a sex act. My boss glared at me. FML
Today, my workplace had a big employee photoshoot for an ad campaign. I was there all of 30 seconds before the photographer said, "What the fuck? Look guys, this ain't an ad for facial abortions." He then asked me and another colleague to step out of the shot. FML
Today, I sneezed while my ID photo was being taken. I look like a total moron in it. The photographer refused to retake the photo because I "clearly" faked the sneeze just to be funny. FML
Today, I was at the dentist and got laughing gas to lessen the anxiety I get from the numbing shots. When I was good and "relaxed", an assistant leaned real close and said, "Open wide." I just stared back at her and widened my eyes. She had to clarify she was talking about my mouth. Duh. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your closed-mouth "smile" probably looks like Heath Ledger's crazed Joker smirk. You ought to smile wide and pay them triple to Photoshop out your meth mouth.

Actually, I was reminded of that episode of "The IT Crowd" where Roy makes a girl who is obsessed with him cry and she looks like The Joker. It's a British sitcom I found on Netflix and it is fantastic. It cracks me up frequently.

Best episode EVER. Possibly second to the Countdown one...

Lizzie, it would be hard to argue with you. That show is of such high quality, it's really hard to rank the episodes. Roy and the calendar (boss-eyed), Peter File, Douglas' trial, bunking off, the Red Door...I find it hard to stop. Did the fifth season ever come out?

The spaceology one ranks up there pretty high too i suppose... 5th series has been recommissioned but no sign of it yet. I think i read it could be the last one too :(

please tell me others were thinking of Sheldon Cooper, from *that* big bang theory episode where he ends up looking like the joker. Cracked me up SO badly.

Yes, but the Joker's father took a knife to his face and slit a smile into it.
