Miscellaneous: Truth hurts

Truth hurts

By markerThief - 13/10/2013 04:33 - United States - Apple Valley

Today, I jokingly told my friend that I was the kid who stole his brand new glow-in-the-dark markers back in kindergarten. Now he's ignoring my texts and calls and says we're through. So much for our twelve years of friendship. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, a childhood friend reached out to me to apologize for our friendship. He was obviously drunk, and admitted that his parents made him become friends with me so that my dad, their landlord, would be easy on them when the rent was short after his mom lost her job. He said he never really liked me and called me a nerd, before hanging up. FML

Pranked out

Today, I pranked my friend and started a fake fight. However, she opened up and admitted to doing a bunch of stuff. We've now stopped being friends. FML

High school is hell

Today, a "friend" of mine decided stealing my very low amount of sticky notes repetitively to make origami and show off was okay, even though I had repeatedly asked her to stop. Then, when I snapped, I was the bad guy, and everyone who was around started stealing my pencil case to get them. FML

Teenage riot

Today, I got dumped by a friend because she said I was "too much." She's treated me like shit and basically ignored me at times since the beginning of the school year, in favor of hanging out with another friend. I guess years of friendship really can disappear overnight. FML

Today, in the most polite and friendly way I could think of, I told a friend that she's slightly too dramatic about things. She started throwing a fit, deleted my number, and ended our seven-year friendship. FML

Today, after almost four years of friendship. My "good friend" blocked me on Facebook, after I joked with him about his team losing. I'm a huge fan of the winning team. FML

Can you be a little more specific?

Today, I'm pretty sure I destroyed a friendship irreparably. I was trying to do a nice thing, but it backfired in an awful way. I know it's my fault. I really wanted to be that person's friend. FML

Today, my brother is about to move to a new house, all because last week I played a prank on him. I made him believe that I crashed my car and had to sell his things to pay for the damage. He's no longer talking to me, or acknowledging me as a sibling anymore. FML

That one weird kid

By shellski - 21/01/2012 01:21 - United States

Today, a kid from school came to my house. He asked my dad if I was at home, because we were "planning a bit of the old, you know…" and made an obscene gesture. Now I'm grounded for a month, and no matter what I say, my dad won't believe that I've never even spoken to the kid before. FML

Today, I was over at a friend's place until very late. He had stolen my keys as a joke at some point, but by the time I noticed, he was too drunk to remember where he'd hidden them. FML

Go buy him some new ones as an apologetic gesture. No one should joke like that about glow in the dark markers. No one.

And what happened after you stole them? Did he accuse someone else and lose that friendship? Did he go home and tell his parents that he lost them and get his ass beat? There are probably more reasons for him cutting you off because you stole some stupid markers.

To you it maybe funny, but to him that was probably the first really cool thing his parents got him as it is for most kids whether it's scented markers, glow him the dark markers, your first box of colored pencils, etc.. Also the FML says you "jokingly told him" so did you seriously take them or were you just messing with him?

On case none of you geniuses haven't figured out, he was JOKING. I doubt he stole them and all, and now his friend thinks OP wasn't joking and is angry at him now. A simple misunderstanding.

Your friend sounds very immature OP. If it was a joke, he should laugh and move on. You don't need someone like that in your life anyway. Besides, it was like 12 years ago, and just markers, even if they were glow in the dark. Can you imagine if you actually did something to really piss your friend off?

Not saying OP really did steal them, but look at it from the other dude's point of view. In kindergarten something like those markers would have been a prized possession and something of a status symbol. Would you want to be friends with someone that could potentially steal your valuable/important possessions? That's pretty much the only reason I could think he would do that.

Some people don't realise how a big of a deal things like, markers, crayons, pens, etc. were. And some parents do overreact when their kids lose them. OP should apologise and tell his friend he was joking and he thought since it's been so long, they could laugh about it.
