Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired. FML

That is so awful... but really hilarious. Definitely something that would have happened to me. I don't have a text messaging plan either, and yet people text me alllllll the time. I usually have to pay $5-10 extra a month for stuff I can't control.

It's actually 25 cents, not 25 percent. I hope you don't work with numbers. If you do, expect to receive your pink slip via text you awful little bitch.

it only sucks without a plan, ive got unlimited texting, doesnt cost a cent

Why would you reply to the first comment with something completely irrelevant? Just so you could have your name where everyone can see it? You aren't that special.

wrong. I have a plan and I pay one flat rate for unlimited texts.

I'm so sick of illustrations essentially making up their own FMLs. FMLs are funny because they actually happened to someone, and we can laugh at their misfortune. Making up a worst-case-scenario story is just NOT FUNNY. For example, would you accept this FML? "Today, while walking to work, I simultaneously dropped my wallet and spilled my drink all down the front of my shirt. A dog took my wallet before I could pick it up. Then something fell out of the sky and knocked me out. I woke up in the hospital, where I was given the news that I was now homeless due to my house having been repossessed because I had defaulted on a loan that I didn't even know about. I got so upset that I puked, and then the puke turned into a monster and tried to eat me! Worst of all, two minutes later, the entire hospital exploded! FML" Well, this is pretty much what every illustration does. Way to kill the joke. Do it right or don't do it at all!

I really don't understand how you can think that it's fun to read a comic that follows the exact same FML you read months ago to every single detail? How can you honestly claim that the comics aren't funnier when they actually use their imagination (even to the point of making the second half a whole new, funny story like the SMBC one)? You must live a very boring life. Stop whining.

It's because the new story isn't funny. If someone were able to think up a new, FUNNY, story, that would be different. But these stories suck. However, I see the FML staff disagrees with me, so I'll STFU :)

I agree..the illustrations that randomly make up things are annoying. Now the one last week was funny. But most of them..eh

I totally agree with you, 94. ...I was gonna write more but I got distracted, watched a movie, and came back to realize I hadn't posted this yet. :P

Ok, yes they take a little creative freedom, that shouldn't be something to bitch and whine about! Oh, and a comic where it is word for word what the FML said, you same people are complaining about how boring it is! Make up your minds!! I for one like the comic, except the bear thing should be a person...

Solution: Do not venture into the "Illustrated FML zone".

but you're still paying, which is what the other person was saying. even with a plan you are paying for the texts.

none of the comics are funny. i'm not saying they should be exactly like the original FML but i still want to laugh.

I think the comic is actually quite good. I remember a similar FML situation where because of a few cents of outstanding charge, the FMLer had to pay around $250.
