But for some people, success is not always waiting just around the corner. This can be a good thing for the rest of us, because there’s something amusing about watching your peers fail miserably. “A problem shared is a problem halved.” That may very well be, but we’ll stick to the other half of the equation, the one where we pour scorn onto those unlucky objects of ridicule. Today I wanted to see whether the frying pan was hot. I no longer have fingerprints. FML Today I was hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as I was. We were waiting outside the room, and I told her that I had heard that the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML Today, while shaving, I cut myself. With the blade protector. FML Today I was on a date with my new boyfriend. I acted very flirty and laughed very loudly to show him how funny he was. I laughed so loudly that I farted. FML Today, after a tremendously hot night with a guy I had met the night before, I asked him his phone number.
