If you're not sure what FML stands for, I commend thee! It stands for "F--- My Life", the first word being the F Bomb.

Is anyone else totally sick and tired of the "FML" that some people find impossible not to constantly use every time something minor does or doesn't happen? I'm kind of fed up of it; what about crime, murder, abusive parents, physical and mental illnesses, diseases, starving kids, etc. They have seem to have no perspective and it makes them look incredibly shallow. I really hope I'm not alone with this. I've held my tongue for a few years, but it's driving me crazy! It does my head in to hear someone so selfishly act like the wounded soldier over something so asininely unimportant, when some people out here in the real world are going through some pretty horrible things. Some examples that I'm referring to:

"I'm short £1 to buy this game. FML."
"I broke a nail. FML."
"I lost the level in the game. FML."
"I have a spot. FML."
"I stood on dog-turd. FML."
"I'm not a billionaire. FML."
"My name isn't awesome. FML."

And so the list continues. xD

I realise this is a small thing in itself, but, we all have things that get under our skin, and this is something that burrows under mine. Furthermore, I understand things can be annoying, and this is perfectly normal, but overusing a phrase that's basically a stone's throw away from "Poor me. Feel sorry for me." is sort of pushing it a bit, in my opinion.

I think, honestly, if I were a perfectly normal healthy person with a clean history and a happy no-problem family, I'd probably not be bothered as much by it, or maybe not at all; maybe I just find it insulting because, you know what, my life hasn't exactly been a walk in the park, neither has billions of other peoples on the planet - you wouldn't tell a pregnant woman in labour "Ouch, I stubbed my toe and it hurts like you wouldn't believe!" Just as you wouldn't walk up to a person in a wheelchair and say "Woah, look at my awesome legs, so healthy and functional."

Why the heck is this bothering me so much. 'o.O
