Okay, guys, have you ever been to fmylife.com? It's a place where people post something that's gone wrong in their lives.  They always start it with "Today" and then write a short paragraph about their woes and then end it with "FML".  It's a hilarious site, and I wanted to incorporate it into InsideTech, so that we can vent.  I'll change the rules a little.  Instead of it having to be something that happened today, you can bring in things from the past, if you'd like.  Just please end it with FML as it's part of the humor.  Post frequently, let us know we're not the only ones with crappy lives sometimes, and let's keep the world amused.  Thanks :D

Last night, I sprayed the cat with flea killer, which pissed him off.  Later, he was nudging his head against my face.  Thinking he'd forgiven me, I expressed to my boyfriend how sweet it was that the cat was so affectionate.  He informed me that the cat was only trying to rub the flea killer into my mouth.  My cat is trying to poison me.  FML

Or it could have been one of Mr. Cleanie Meanie's Freudian slips... are you sure it's the cat?

Alright, here's mine:


A few months ago Miss Paula and I went to the Twilight DVD Release Party at Wal-Mart. We were standing there in front of a little table, waiting until Midnight when they release the movies.  On this table was a 1/2 sheet cake decorated with the Twilight theme . It was a white cake with jet black icing around all 4 corners, plus black around a picture of Edward and Bella. I nonchalantly made a comment to Paula and this other lady who was standing with us that we better not eat the black icing because it would turn our teeth black. The other lady just kind of looked at me and grinned funny and at that point we realized that she didn't have a tooth in her head. FML

One day, I accidentally grabbed a guy's crotch in the hallway where a group of them were waiting for lunch in the cafeteria.  He says, loud, "If you wanted to play with it, I could have taken it out for you!" FML

Today, I learned that chubby* chicks can't be nice to the Hispanic custodians because they think you're hitting on them. I discovered this when I realized one of them was taking photos of me with his cell phone as I was walking down the hall. FML

Hey, just the other day when I was in Detroit getting my PPO against that woman (if you want to call her that) that keeps trying to contact me even after being told by the police and everybody else not to contact me and wasting 7 hours of my life that I will never get back. And then to top it off I was leaving the parking structure thinking parking would be $10.00 at the most and the parking attendent told me that it was $17.50!  FML

And Paula I hope you weren't referring to yourself being fat, you are perfect! And if some janitor gets his rocks off taking pictures of you with his phone he is a very sad case. The guy that you accidentally grabbed his crotch should have been shouting out how lucky he was and that he didn't deserve to be within 100 miles of you! Hopefully the cat doesn't succeed in poisoning you!

I had an Iranian, who had an alias as an Italian(i.e. fake name and SSN), buy the company I worked at.....

to then proceed to commit tax evasion, loan fraud, steal money from the employee

health, dental, and short/long term insurance until he and his chronies bankrupted

the company putting everyone out of work.



All the while he and others spent that money living it up buying expensive sportscars,

keeping Holywood model/actress as a "contractor"(the question is what type of work was she

doing?), buying mansions and renting out giant yachts. Did I mention the exotic vacations?

He is now able to sell his mansion, the one that he used pilfered company money to purchase.



Oh, I also forgot that quite a few companies including the greedy loan company, and the auditing

company didn't even question the guys questionable asset statements. I could go on and on about

how difficult it is to find any work in MI let alone anywhere outside the state

but what the hell.........FML.



I hope that was up to the FML standards Paula?

Jeff, what you describe goes on too often.  Especially in 3rd world companies.


I was laid off in January from a Malaysian company that was founded by Americans in 2000.  The board hired all new execs (Malaysians) a couple of years ago.  The new CEO set about to embezzle money from the company.  The CFO tried hard to stop him, but was fired for his troubles.  The board obviously was in on it too.  The Malaysian hi-tech investment bank who was the primary investor in the company finally put a stop to it after two years, but found out that so many execs were involved it couldn't fire them all without shutting down the company.  So they fired the CEO, and let him keep his money to simply go away.  And business continues as usual.


All the American fiounders and foreign employees were purged by the new regime, by the way.  Hence, my current employment status.

LOL...I was about to say FYL.


The strange thing about this situation is that it was a major Hollywood payrole company. All of these shinanigans went on within the U.S.

Myself and a colleague negotiated a raise 18 months ago, after 7 years without a pay rise.  My manager however lied his ass off about progressing my raise and it never happened. Comes time to sign new contract I say I'll sign but take unpaid leave until I'm given a date by which the raise will be taken to the board for approval. Three weeks later called in and contract terminated. Two weeks later colleague gets raise. FML

Line Manager has a habit of touching my arse when at coffee machine or waiting to go into meetings. Says it's a laugh and only does it because it annoys me. Does it to other people but not so frequently so can't complain without looking an uptight dick.  Go out for drink, spends evening stroking my leg when ever he wants to get my attention when an attractive girl walks into room, WTF.  At end of night tries to fondle my balls. Next day at office tell him if he ever touches me again I'll go to HR. Two month later contract terminated. FML

Yesterday, Jonathan brings me Skittles and Moon Pies for my sweet tooth.  Then, I come to work, realize I forgot them at home, and all I can think about is how I really want a Moon Pie right now. FML :(
