There aren’t many things people can say that will tweak my nerves, but the over-used “FML” (Fuck My Life) is one of them. Because I spend an inordinate amount of time on Twitter, I constantly see “FML” being used to punctuate heart-breaking dilemmas like this one or this one or this one. You poor dears; phoneless, sockless, and delayed by a train on your way to the store to buy things? How will you cope?!
Just once, I’d really like to see something worthy of an “FML”. Let me give you a few examples, because Internet? I happen to think you’re doing it wrong.
Be creative and sincere, people. That’s all I’m asking.

Three cheers for this.

never used the tag; haven’t had a sufficient enough reason to yet.
Holy crap! I was just contemplating writing a very similar post. You beat me to it!
I heartily agree. “I have a splinter! Traffic is terrible! Fuck my first world problem life!”
Brava! Could not agree more.
so relieved to not have been a link of what not to do.
Hahahha. Does the misuse of the word literally irk you too? “I was literally freezing!” Oh really? Literally? How many toes did they have to chop off??
