Intimacy: Prepared

Prepared

By Anonymous - 01/07/2009 02:39 - United States

Today, I realized that a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering does not offer enough knowledge and experience to accomplish some simple, everyday tasks. I have spent the last 12 years designing large robots to scour the seabed for shipwrecks yet the mechanism used to unhook a bra eludes me. FML

Today, it was still easier for me to get an engineering PhD than it is to get a girlfriend. FML

Today, I had to Google how to find the area of a circle. I'm working on my PhD in engineering. FML

Today, I found out that the engineers I work with believe that a woman with an engineering degree working in an engineering company is apparently equivalent to a "secretary for engineers." I am that woman. FML

Phasing out

By Anonymous - 24/09/2022 18:30 - India - Hyderabad

Today, I just started working in my core job domain, and all the guys working with me are giving up on their their jobs, because there's no future for it. It sucks being a mechanical design engineer in a country full of IT companies who just want us to convert. FML

Today, it appears that I spent three years of my life studying for a degree to find myself driving around looking for potholes. That's literally my job. I didn't even study roading, my civil engineering degree is in designing structures. FML

Today, my boss quit, leaving me as the only structural engineer at my company. I'm fresh out of college and will have to finish the projects on my own. Hope Google can teach me how to do this. FML

Today, I realised being the only female engineering student sucks. I have exactly one friend, because everyone else is too busy staring at my boobs to have a conversation. FML

Follow your dream

By NoMoreIntellectualPursuit - 15/01/2023 12:00 - United States

Today, just to have a chance of a future career, I had to major in Data Science. Here's to 2.5 more years of soul-crushing tedium and passionless abstraction. If I had the resources to control my own life, I would have been a tradesman so I wouldn't have to sacrifice 4 years of my life on this. FML

Today, after 7 years of writing my PhD thesis, I found a book containing all the exact findings I've spent arduous hours, nay, years discovering. My tutoring professor somehow forgot to mention I was discovering sealing wax. FML

I can't decide whether you deserve this or not. Buy a bra, put it on-backwards. Then teach yourself to remove it, eyes closed. Lol no, I changed my mind, you deserve this.

I think it's cute when guys have a hard time with it. :) Hell, I have a hard time getting my own bra off sometimes. ******* things are confusing.

don't worry, virgin boy. It got me too at first. Oh, and I'm a bach in tele-engineering.

Removing with the teeth is the ultimate turn on. Dude needs some lesbian friends, already. Lesbians are unparalleled in removing bras. It is an art that none of you can even imagine :) They will share their secrets with nerdy boys that they feel pity for tho.

Don't worry man, sometimes it takes me forever to unhook my own. And the wording of this FML is PURE WIN.

Sounds like a true engineer to me. While you went to college, I not only gained my mechanical engineering experience on the job, I mastered the art of bra unfastening. C'mon man, bend & unlatch.
