Today, I learned that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I got it from playing too much World of Warcraft. I got a disease in real life by living in a virtual world. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I had to buy a wrist splint for my carpal tunnel syndrome. Not because I'm a computer programmer or some hot shot web designer but because I spend ALL of my time playing Solitaire on my laptop. FML

Tunnel vision

Today, after years of being an avid knitter and typing for a living, I got carpal tunnel syndrome… from my wrists flopping around too much while I'm driving. I live half an hour away from the nearest city. FML

Getting on

By Lexxxiii - 17/06/2021 06:01

Today, I realized that every time I play video games, my wrist and elbows always end up hurting so badly from holding my controller/handheld games. I always have to apply bengay and wear braces. Arthritis is creeping up on me harshly, and I’m still young so this sucks. FML

Today, I had to buy a wrist brace for a repetitive strain injury. I got the injury because I was knitting too much. I'm 22. FML

Today, my social anxiety got so bad, I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML

Today, I found out that the lump in my wrist that keeps getting inflamed and sore is caused by sketching and using my laptop too much. Good thing I'm in my fourth year of studying to become a designer. FML

Stiff Little Fingers

By Lunar-Spice - 03/08/2021 16:00 - United States - Midlothian

Today, I found out that the stiffness I've been feeling in my hand is arthritis and that it's only going to get worse. Not only do I type for my job, I'm also 22. FML

Today, I woke up in the hospital. I had apparently overworked my heart so much that I fainted. What caused it? I was playing a racing game on my Wii and freaked out when I won first place. FML

Warts and all

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff - United States - Anchorage

Today, I woke up from surgery to find that the chronic warts on my right hand hadn't been removed. The doctor informed me that they'd grown into my radial nerve, so impossible to remove without permanent paralysis. My immune system sucks, so this is just in my hand forever. FML

WoW 4 life! Seriously, I play WoW (Level 80 hunter, Roraa, in full teir 7.5 gear on Bronzebeard for all those WoWers), have 2 kids, a boyfriend, and I even seem to go out once or twice a week. So I agree with #248, define "life" please :-)

For all you who put YDI, you probably have no idea how it feels like to be addicted. It's so easy to get hooked on it. I'm one of em.

Oh wow, you need to step away from the computer. I know what it's like to have addictions to websites, but ****, you must be on pretty much all day and night long. Just take baby steps in stepping away from the computer bit by bit or get a girlfriend or something.

#162 while I don't disagree with what you are saying in your 2nd sentence, we are talking real social atmostpheres, like nightclubs, bars, parties, etc. Book Club Mondays or Poetry night at the local Starbucks do not count as having a "very active social life".
