I have to agree with you. You have to remember that the the majority of books, newspapers, and magazines are published to someone with a sixth grade education.

What I dont get is why the op cares if some stranger is an idiot. Is it a faith in humanity thing? Hate my job thing? These poor fishies thing? idk

Having to keep your cool around idiots can be an FML. Educated questions are one thing, but seeing as the person that came in could probably see the holes in the divider if they tried, it's painful. I worked at an amusement park for two years and idiots get quick really fast.

Maybe they just read "tank divider" and held it up cuz they weren't thinking and then op freaked out at them and told them they couldn't have their fishies! lol anyway why don't people just go fishing, catch some bluegill and throw em in a tank? why do we have to buy them from the pet store where it's up to 200$ or more for a tiny fish?

I don't think that the OP truly believed this ****** his life. I just assumed that he thought it was a funny story that highlighted the stupidity of others, so he decided to post it on FML as a way to share it with others.

Why can't you just accept the FML and move on? Why do you pick it apart? You have a problem with so many of the stories. Delete your account if it's such a problem. A lot of people have to moderate these through, so it's obvious that a vast majority of people clicked yes!

I agree with you FFML. And I know for one that I would have clicked yes as well.

I never said it wasn't an fml and I'm glad the op posted the story. Don't jump to conclusions just because you don't like me, I was only speculating as to the ops reasoning. I haven't questioned any FMLs' worthiness in a while, but I do think they aren't as good as they used to be.

stupified: people will spend money like that on little fish because it's a hobby. what you can do with fish, rocks, and coral doesn't end and takes a lot of dedication. also, a typical "nemo" fish only costs about $30.

StupEfied, if you aren't happy with the recent FML's, quit commenting and moderate. We'd all appreciate it! You're an idiot.

rbg: Is "perforated" really considered beyond a sixth grade reading level nowadays? D:

oook, maybe i dont understand the word coz im 12? good enough excuse for you? and anyway just coz i dont understand dusnt mean im a stupid idiot. FYI i get straight As and have gotten into the best school in London. Hows that for retarded? "genius" you are indeed

There is such a thing as looking up a word in the dictionary. With your atrocious spelling here, I sincerely hope you are not the top in your class.

lol. it's just my opinion. I suppose I chose rather harsh words.

I don't believe your words were harsh enough hahaha

Exactly. My dad, who owned a restaurant in an, ahem, rural town, once had a customer tell him quite seriously that there were some "really bad lemons" on the buffet. When Dad asked him to point them out, they were actually whole kiwi fruit. O_o
