Awkward, Restaurants and Love: Bad omen

Bad omen

By pupitre - 18/10/2011 00:16 - Canada

Today, I was at a Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend and his family. After the meal, we all decided to open our fortune cookies and read them out loud. On mine, it said "You will change your mind many times before settling down." I didn't realize what it meant until after I'd read it to them. FML

Today, I was at a Chinese buffet, and I got a fortune cookie. I opened it, and it said, "The love of your life is sitting across from you". The only thing across from me was an empty chair. FML

Today, my friend gave me a fortune cookie that said, "Don't be saddened by an upcoming event". Three hours later my girlfriend broke up with me because she said I was too superstitious. FML

Today, my dad opened a Chinese fortune cookie that read, "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." Now he won't stop calling me Experience. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Today, I blushed when a fortune cookie said, "You have the attitude of a winner." My self esteem is that low. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML

Today, I finally found out that the tattoo on my lower back means "slut" in Chinese, instead of "good fortune" as I always thought it did. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

Today, I spent all day preparing a big, elaborate Italian dinner for my boyfriend, who recently discovered he was part Italian. He came home, turned up his nose and said "I was in the mood for Chinese". FML

Today, my boyfriend found a take-out menu under my bed. It's probably been there for months. He looked at it and said, "Well, that explains a lot." FML

Every time I read a fortune cookie, I always say "in bed" after. It makes the reading of it much more fun. (:

Until you get the one that says, "You will throw up." And then it comes true.

I'm fairly certain that fortune made him feel awkward. I mean, it pretty much says that she'll move from boyfriend to boyfriend until she finds "the one"... Meaning he probably isn't... O.o

Am I the only one that thinks OP is unnecessarily making a big deal about this? I mean, holy shit it's a piece of paper inside a 25 cent cookie written by some creep in a factory. Don't let that shit describe who you are, damn.

25 cents is pretty darn expensive for a fortune cookie...

Why don't fortune cookies ever say really nasty things? I think it'd be funny "Stop eating this cookie and hit the gym your body will thank you" You -- :0

well since it was on a little piece of paper from a tasteless cookie it must be true.

It's a piece of paper in a cookie, not the Oracle at Delphi. They don't even have fortune cookies in China, it's a stupid, albeit tasty gimmick. Just laugh it off and get on with your life.

Do you seriously rely on pieces of paper to tell your fortune? Do you rely on anything to tell your fortune? No one one what your future will be and let it be like that. Take life as it comes and deal with the consequences.
