Work: Today, me and my co-workers were playing with the Helium tank...

Today, me and my co-workers were playing with the Helium tank we got today. We were all giggling like little girls for the better half of 15 minutes. I don't know what is more sad, that a bunch of guys were sucking helium instead of working, or that the youngest guy in the group is 43. FML

Today, I was lifeguarding a pool party for a bunch of eight year-olds. One of them decided it'd be funny to have a contest to see who could make the most bubbles with their farts. It led to three kids shitting themselves in the pool, and me having the dubious honor of cleaning it up. FML

Today, a woman cursed me out, called me a perverted freak, and said I should be ashamed of myself because I had asked her "How much for one night?." She works in a toy shop, I was with my five year old daughter, and was pointing to the sign, "Rent A Helium Tank!" FML

Today, while giving a lecture about gasses to a large chemistry class, I went outside to let loose an unusually loud fart while they took some notes. I came back in only to see 300 students dying of laughter. I had left the wireless mic on. FML

Today, in physics class, my teacher was messing around with an air cannon and I accidentally blurted out, "Blow me!" It took me all of 5 seconds to realize why everyone was laughing. FML

Today, while working at my unfulfilling part-time job, my colleague said, "Are you aware of how much you sigh?" And then she said, "You're too young for that." So, am I supposed to hold my breath now? FML

Today, my boss was telling everyone his mother recently passed away and he'll be off work for a while. I'd been holding in painful gas for a while, so I tried to ease it out. It turned into a long, squeaky fart in front of everyone. Everyone glared at me as if I was trying to be funny. FML

Today a gasoline canister leaked in our work garage and filled my office with fumes. It got me high and nauseous even though I went out for air constantly. I had a meltdown and was sent home. I'm still high. FML

Today, at the ripe old age of 23, I now no longer have no control over my farts when I cough. My many young students find this hilarious. FML

Today, my dumbass colleague was too lazy to go buy balloons for a party in recognition of our company's huge merger. Instead, he made condom balloons. Let's just say you don't make blow up condoms for a prestigious company event. A company whose CEO is named Dick. FML

Today, after working alone in a room all day, I let a fart sneak out. Just then, my drop dead gorgeous boss and two new girls walked in. I could literally see them hit the stench and cringe. FML

#20, 24, 33 All 3 are right, this is NOT an FML. All this is is something you did to waste time at work, and all you're doing is complaining about not being young enough for this to be appropriate behavior..I moderate FML's which are waaaaaay better than this one and never get through. F your life because you didn't have to work and got to play with helium? I dont think so.. And like someone else said on another FML, we need a "so what?" button

Helium does NOT kill brain cells in itself. The real risk breathing helium instead of air, and therefore causing asphyxiation. People playing with helium generally do not inhale helium with every breath, so it has about as much risk as holding your breath for a few seconds. I did this at work too. It was fun. I'm 25.

That would be cute if it wasn't so dangerous. Inhaling too much helium can most definately cause brain damage, but you can actually die from it. In fact, I know someone who was sucking helium out of a tank, took too much, passed out, and now has a scar on their forehead from the impact of his head on the tank. He could have easily died. Drink / inhale responsibly, kids!

I heard that Helium is actually pretty dangerous and can stop your heart if you keep sucking on it, but then again I could be wrong

You were having fun? What's wrong with that? I'm not going to say act your age because you're having fun. Act your age because you worry about what others think.
