Today, I was at my friend's Bar Mitzvah. After he finished his long-winded speech, I sarcastically did the mockingjay sign from the Hunger Games. It took a couple of seconds before I realized how that looked, and a couple more for me to be shouted down and kicked out. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my sister had her batmitzvah. During the party, there is a tradition where the batmitzvah gets lifted on a chair, and so does her family. It was my turn after my sister's. I got in the chair. They couldn't lift me. FML

Today, I somehow mistook the Star of David for a Pentagram. My Jewish friends were not amused. FML

Forever solo

Today, I went to a Bat Mitzvah. We played a game where all of the girls grabbed one of their shoes and placed it in the middle. Then, all of the guys had to pick a shoe. Whatever guy picked the shoe, the girl had to dance with. No one picked my shoe. Everyone else was dancing except for me. FML

Trolling for soup

Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML

Today, I made a speech in front of my entire graduating class and their families, despite my fear of public speaking. It seemed to go well and I got a big round of applause at the end. Then I panicked and instead of waving, I lifted my arm straight out in a Hitler salute. FML

Today, I stuck one of those "kick me" signs on my friend's back for fun, and someone took the invitation. Unfortunately, my friend whirled around and beat the shit out of him. I managed to sneak the sign off his back, but now I feel like a total asshole. FML

Today, during some previews before the new Harry Potter movie, a guy stood up and led the audience in an enthusiastic and rather successful chant "H-A-R-R-Y!". Minutes later when I attempted to do the same thing, I was pelted with half-full bags of popcorn, freezing sodas, and booing. FML

Considering that the two actions look nothing alike as performed I'm not sure how the Mockingjay symbol is being confused as a Nazi salute. One is three fingers held up straight above the head. The other is five fingers straight and the arm at an angle. How badly did you screw up your mocking jay salute to have the two be confused? Also has your friend zero knowledge that you would be into references like that because surely they should have known you weren't being a Nazi and could have defended you.

I'd think it looks more like "The Shocker" which could also get someone kicked out of a religious event.

No, no it doesn't. There is no way the District 12 salute could be confused with the shocker. You'd have to be completely blind.

OP, I have laughed this hard at an fml for a while! Thanks. I needed that today. Also, the Mockingjay symbol is also the Boy Scout and Girl Scout symbol. Not you're fault that they didn't get it. Just because two things look similar, doesn't mean they are anything a like. But really, thanks for the laugh. ;)

Wow, the fact that you felt the need to do anything after his speech shows how immature you are. The fact that you used that salute from the hunger games whether you realized or not, what you were doing. Kinda makes you a disrespectful jerk.
