By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I got my first acting part. I played the role of a bad boy who has to grab the leading lady's ass, who then slaps me in the face. The ass grab was done in one take. The slap required 14 takes. FML

Today, I had a completely improvised audition for the school play. The director called me and one of the cutest guys auditioning to improvise an intimate scene. Knowing that I'm a complete klutz, I wasn't all that surprised when I tripped over my feet and landed with my face in his crotch. He was. FML

Today, I auditioned for a part in a play. I've been practicing for months, and was very excited. After I'd finished singing, the director whispered something to the other judges, and they all laughed. Hard. So much for the lead role. FML

Today, I showed up on set for a film that I booked a role in weeks ago. At the time of the audition, the script was being rewritten, so today I was so excited and eager to be told what my role would entail. When they handed me the script, my character was described as a fat, ugly, awkward girl. FML

Today, I had a theatre performance. I had to put on a lot of makeup for the role, and one of the guys said I looked nice. I smiled and said thanks. Seconds later, I'd been sucker-punched by his girlfriend for "flirting" with her man. FML

Today, my family came to see me in my first acting role in Romeo and Juliet. It all went reasonably well for the first half hour or so, after which my seemingly shitfaced aunt started heckling and saying, "That's what she said" after every line, before eventually being thrown out by security. FML

Today, I auditioned for a part and made it because the director thought I would be "perfect" for the part and I was "just like the character in every way." The part is for a schizophrenic drug addict who everyone hates and is stabbed to death in the second scene. FML

Today, I finally got my big TV debut. After thousand of dollars in acting classes and years of waiting to become a professional actress, I got featured in a commercial. I will be rubbing toilet paper against my face for all of four seconds. Hurray, fame! FML

Today, I kissed a boy for the first time in over a year. It was at drama club practice, and he quickly ended up asking the director if we could remove that scene from the play. FML

Today, I was in a play and had a battle scene. I got a little too into it and wound up twisting my ankle. The audience was treated to me screaming like a little girl before face-planting the stage a moment later. FML

Today, it was opening night for the play where I was, for the first time ever, one of the leads. I went on stage with a loud and energetic entrance. I came in two scenes early. FML

Whether they're a real stage manager or not, they bring up good points.

good one #94. how did you find out she wasnt a professional stage manager? i'm sure you did your research and looked up # 92's background and her theatre experience and found out she was not paid to be a stage manager. and then you also found out that she sleeps with a lot of men for money, which would make her a **** and a *****, and then you talked to her friends who all told you she was a bitch. i admire your work ethic. if you have any spare time, i have a feeling that people on the CNN blog are lieing about their posts too. would you look into them for me? i cant rest knowing that some of them may just be saying that global warming is a farce but they really believe its true. thanks!

Oh, wow. Thanks #95. Because, yeah... stage slaps aren't supposed to be real; I knew of a girl who actually got slapped on stage and had her eardrum broken.

Well Mark Hamil had to bump his head on Yoda's roof 16 times before the director was satisfied. So it could've been worse.

Slightly amusing. I'm sorry. Btw, anyone saying it doesnt hurt that much has clearly never met a guy I know. When he slaps, it canes. Also, by bestie can cause REAL pain with a slap. Its funny
