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

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

thanks heaps is an Australian term. so that's who says thanks heaps, all of Australia.

Yeah, I get really annoyed at people who are all like "OMG NOT EVERYONE TALKS LIKE AMERICANS?!?!?!?! *mind blown*

American people just criticize everyone! but it's so FUNNY. As this FML, LMFAO

OP obviously has horrible grammar problems, YDI for not paying more attention.

#45. "Thanks heaps" is said in America too...

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.

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.

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.

Typical FML commenters. Calling out everyone on every little thing they say.

Typical person dissing everyone left and.. DOH! I'm one now too D:

Well then if it was and accident then tell her that and right back?

#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*

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.

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.

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.

don't worry. no outranking problem anymore, once you're sacked. which will be shortly. good luck.

haha i hope she sits on you as punishment

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.
