Music, Awkward, Education and Work: Hangry

Hangry

By Prodigy - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I ran into a former college classmate at Subway. He gushed on and on about how I was the only one in our class with true potential. Then I asked him what kind of sandwich he wanted, because 3 years out of college, Subway is still the only place that will hire a music major. FML

Today, I started a new school, after moving from England to New York. People only talked to me just to hear my accent. FML

Today, I decided to be friendly and say hi to the weird kid at school, who was sitting by himself eating lunch. After I said hello, he stared up at me intensely and said, "I don't have many friends. Yeah. Mainly 'cause I've eaten most of them." FML

Liar liar, poop on fire

Today, I was working at the restaurant where I wash dishes. Everyone thinks I'm a tech intern. My buddy Go Synco-ed me and so I had to capture whatever I was doing at the moment. I ran to the restroom, took my tee off and took a pic, stating, "I'm at home taking a shower." There was a guy behind me pooping. FML

David Lee Roth?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML

Today, I went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. There was a hot waiter who kept passing by. He saw me looking at him and I knew I had to say something. So when he approached my table I asked, "Excuse me, do you have any salt?" and he said, "I think it's right there on the table." FML

Today, I went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML

Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML

Today, I was cold and alone at work, so I decided to try and warm myself up on the panini toaster. As I was holding the top side open and my other hand over the hot metal, I accidentally closed the door on my hand. FML

Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML

Quit whining, all of us musicians know the risk we're taking when we try to make it a career.

Go back and get another degree- one with some form of job security. You should have known any art degree wouldn't get you anywhere especially in this economy.

Yeah, basically. You don't go into a music program for the lucridous job opportunities or the fame and fortune. Try privately teaching your instrument on the side or something.

Imma go into English and music. Because I love both. I wouldn't mind getting a job that requires my English decree but I would love a job that wants my music degree. Music is my minor. I'm going to do it because I want to learn more and simply adore it. Not because ill get a job out of it

um lol you're still working at subway and complains about it? go to auditions and make something of yourself. do not insult music majors like that. YDI everyone has to start somewhere op and besides, your friend said true potential not chance.

That's not what all her clients say. It's always something about great service, followed by her shitty sammich making.

As in you play an instrument? My friend has her masters in violin performance from USC and just got back from a tour around India that kept getting extended. She is phenomenal, though. She is living the dream of making a living with her music

Just what did you think you would be doing right about now? Did you think that that you would have your awesome talent discovered and you would become rich and famous? You watch too many ******* movies.
