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

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

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

I am so using this to aid me in getting one of my best friends to quit World of Warcraft. I believe he has a problem.

I'm sure 4/5 people commenting on this spend hours a day on FML to make fun of other people. So grats to all who try to sound bad4ss in your comment. WoW is fun, Alliance FTW, GG, QQ, all that jazz.

Maybe all of you play too much real life and not enough WoW. If it' fun in the long run it's what you should probably be doing. Which is pretty much what everyone's doing anyway, why do you work? To have money for necessities and to spend on stuff for fun. He has found something that to him is fun and therefore worth doing. This coming from a socially active person who doesn't play WoW.

......and you're typing this....... WoW is addicting and it's pretty fun. I'm not going to assume you have no life by playing WoW, I play it sometimes and I still have a life. Just stop playing as much. I'm a noob, I know, but alliance FTW raid with 10 year olds!
