Today, for the first time since my partner moved in with me, I did one of my favourite things: I bought some nice cheese and a bottle of wine and went on to People of Walmart, just as I do every month or so. He called me a disgusting human being and went for a walk two hours ago. FML

What the hell. Who buys fancy wine and cheese for watching the people of Walmart.

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life!

It could be a lot worse. Like a worse site

He was probably disgusted by the pairing! Nice wine and cheese is what goes with watching MILF **** or cat videos. Clearly, PoW, calls for cheap beer and meth. Get it right!

Just the fact that you purposely go on people of walmart would have me calling you disgusting and leaving for awhile. The fact that you also get out the fancy wine and cheese to feel even more superior would have me pack and leave and never come back.

I'm surprised people actually still look at that stupid shit nowadays.

Yeah, I'd be gutted too if I found out someone I was dating liked that trainwreck of a site. I wouldn't knowingly date someone who chooses to denigrate strangers that way.

It appears, from some of the comments made, that some of you FML'ers don't see that PoWM and FML fall in the same category of 'voyeuristic humor at the expense of others'? Now that, that is truly funny.

Actually, it's very different. FML we are laughing at people who said "haha I did this stupid thing". People of Walmart is laughing at people who never wanted to or agreed to have pictures of themselves posted online.

Yeah, in essence, People of Walmart is the biggest invasion of privacy I've ever seen.

The reader/viewer is finding humor in the misfortune of others = same category. An argument could easily be made that FML is more 'degenerate' than PoWM in that often we are finding amusement in the posters victimhood...not just there superficial 'fashion' choices in a public place.

People of Walmart Stats. Over 6 million visitors per month. Traffic 85% from the U.S. Majority of visitors, 18 to 34. Over 700,000 Facebook fans.

Except they're not? on FML, people send their own misadventures or those of friends and family, written in an humoristic way in order to cheer other people up or just to vent. When you laugh at the stories, you're not degrading whoever shitty stuff happened to. On PoWM, most people get their pictures posted online to thousands of viewers without their consent, just so everyone can have a good laugh at them. I don't think this can compare.

it sounds like you guys need to communicate better and you should probably look into why you enjoy that so much. it's harmless sure but usually shows evidence to personal issues, such as insecurity etc. this isn't saying you're a terrible person or anything but believe it or not people with a healthy mentality do not get pleasure at others expense. all the best OP,
