Today, I was talking to a group of friends about the various problems in Africa. One of them interrupts me and asks with a straight face, "If it's so bad over there, why don't they all just leave?" FML

Today, I was complaining to my friend how I was doing all the work in my group, and that they were getting all the credit. Her response? "It's OK, you're doing a shitty job anyway." FML

One weird technique

Today, while on the bus, I started a conversation with the person next to me. After a little back and forth, she finally said, "Do you think people will stop talking to me if I say I have AIDS?" FML

Today, I couldn't say a single sentence without being interrupted or having the conversation hijacked into a monologue of past grievances by family members against people they have issues with. And they wonder why I hide in my room all the time… FML

Let down

Today, I asked my friends what they thought was my biggest problem. All of them responded, "You're boring." I don't deny it, and I certainly did ask, but… Ouch. FML

Today, my coworker keeps loudly saying things like, "Oh, now THIS!" If I don't ask, "What?" she pouts. If I do ask, she tells me, at length and with very bad grammar, how every one of our colleagues and partners is either stupid, rude or out to get her. FML

Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back to America. A friend called to cry over relationship problems she refuses to fix. While I was outside trying to politely get off the phone, my friends ate and drank everything I'd ordered and closed the bill. FML

Our house, in the middle of our street

Today, I realized I could say nothing in my home without being interrupted, talked over, or the subject derailed into a 30 minutes monologue by my housemates. And they wonder why I'm so quiet all the time… FML

Why is this on FML? You have a friend who thinks they should get on the truck and come where the food is. Your life sucks how?

Rather than worrying about Africa, America should worry about its more serious problems like unemployment, poverty, and China.

Because money and jobs are more important than the children being kidnapped and forced to kill.

1. That has been happening in Africa for centuries. Hell, I have a friend from Uganda that used to be a child soldier. 2. If you want to do something about, talk is cheap and sending money to an propaganda mill gets nothing accomplished. 3. If you are so passionate about your so called activism, move to Africa, procure an ak, and start freeing people.

#158 A lot of ****** up shit happens in the world. Popular belief does not give us the right to send in troops to kill a political leader. I'm some ways, we should feel more sorry about north Korea.
