Today, I was laughing at a story of a girl who had dropped her cellphone in a hottub and ruined it. As I was feeling pretty good about myself, I then realized that my cellphone was in the pocket of a sweater that I had just thrown in the washer 20 minutes prior. FML

Today, I had to stay at a friend's house because my dryer caught fire. My friend decided to start cleaning, so he put on his music playlist. By sheer coincidence, the first song that played was "Light My Fire." FML

Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML

Today, I started some laundry late at night. Once my clothes were in the washer for about a half hour, I got bored and I decided I would listen to my iPod. After looking for it for another 15 minutes, I remembered where I'd left it; in my jacket... which is now nice and clean. FML

Bad DIY FML

Today, I was rearranging the cabinets above the washer and dryer, and the whole thing fell down on top of the washer. I had just put my clothes in the washing machine too. FML

Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML

Wow that won? Something way over used and not original or even different from the other 40 who posted it? Good job FML team!

I'm not usually out of the loop, but I truly don't understand this one. I don't consider myself that young either. And I grew up in the mix tapes era as well. So for that reason only (my complete lack of understanding) I wish one of the many other hilarious comments had one. Or maybe somebody can explain this on to me?

Not only is it not funny it also doesn't go with the picture. If the tape was truly "fire"it would have lit the pants on fire when it was in the pocket still on the person, or at least in the tape machine itself. I understand the staff not choosing the top rated comment (because after a while most people only read and therefore vote for the first few), but at least choose a funny and appropriate one.

I'm impressed that people still make mix tapes!

They are actually more like mix CDs or a digital playlist and people just call them mix tapes for some stupid reason.

The most voted should have been chosen. FML is a community website, if the community votes for something you don't let your personal preference interfere.
