If FML bothers you

molldoll71

Do you curse?  I am a big swearer in private so I wonder if that is why it doesn't bother me at all. To me it is the equivalent of yelling fuuuuukkk!

Kristen81603

I do, but not a ton- however- it is not the fuuuukkk part that bothers me, it is the whole thing- but it is just my opinion- 

jessNdean

curse like , b!tch, , a$$hole, sh!t?  no i dont curse EVER! hehe

I think what people are saying about FML is that it's more than just saying "fuuuck." In certain situations I'm sure we've all said it.

FML is about this one thing, albeit is annoying or inconvenient or whatever somehow ruining your entire life.

Well it DOESN'T bother me, but I do curse often - more than I probably should.  I also don't take offense to words that others would consider crude (ie ).

I curse pretty often, although I've gotten better now that I have a little parrot living with me.

Same here! I'll say OH SHIIITTT more often than fvvvck though.

I curse, more than I should.  Although, have been working hard lately to cut back since I don't need DS repeating any of it when he's at pre-school.

I used to have the worst potty mouth.  I've curbed it since Stephanie called a cousin of Ed's a "f*cking b*tch" at Christmas one year.  (neither of us have an issue with the cousin, Stephy just overheard too many of my personal b*tch sessions on the phone about people I was pissed at). I made sure she was not around when I made personal phone calls after that.  She was almost 3 at the time.  It was mortifying!  I will psuedo-curse like "shut the front door" or "calm the firetruck down".  She then began repeating those phrases too which still gets me looks sometimes but not as bad as when she dropped the F bomb!

I dont curse all that much anymore, I cant even spell curses LOL FML bothers me because its almost always some self aborbed drama queen complaining about something that isnt a FML issue. FML to me is your kid has cancer, not that you have a cold. I know so manyFB idiots that do this on a daily basis.

well said.

yep, when appropriate and not around children

Instead of a FML!!!!!! just saying FFFFFFUUUUUUUKKKK is more then appropriate and gets the message across. For me it just makes it sound like your life is over, or doomed in some way for something that while a big deal, in the big picture just isnt. Women with small children and breast cancer can scream FML, and that would be OK with me. Life daily annoyances, or a disappointment isnt going to cause your life to be f-ed up forever

I curse like a Stern Show staffer (except not in front of Ethan because he's also a parrot. I do, however, spell it if I'm feelin' it). But this is exactly how I feel about FML. I don't know why it irks the living shiit out of me more than what Kelly said. I guess because I see it so much on FB about stupid stuff that's merely an inconvenience. I did not see the original post this is about though.

I don't really say FML but it doesn't bother me. When people say stuff like "supposably" or "could have went" I get a little cold shiver up my spine. 

I curse like a sailor and I really do not look into it as "OMG MY LIFE IS OVER I AM GOING TO PINE AWAY" type thing when they say or write FML. It's just a phrase that was yelled out in a somewhat funny movie called "Superbad" and reused over and over until it had no meaning.

THIS!! 99% of the tine FML is used for a problem that really isn't a problem.

 

Say say just the letter F a lot these day b/c of my parrot.

Exactly this.

I do curse.  However, on a completely different note, SMH really irks me.  I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I can mentally see the person shaking their head at me...I don't know why it really bothers me.

SMH is condenscending-maybe that it why it bothers you?

okay well...I'm an idiot I actually had to google that the other day to see what it meant! I see it all over facebook and I had no idea ! ha!

i have been thinking about this for the past, what 2 hours, and after reading everyone's responses, i have figured that it doesn't bother me bc i really don't see it...i don't know if i am oblivious, or perhaps the lives of all of my friends and family are rainbows and puppies, but i just don't see it used as much as everyone else does...

and i am thankful for that...

Me too. I see it on the nest, and from my younger cousins on FB. Maybe I am just an old lady and I need to  let the whipper snappers have their slang

it's nothing to do with the swearing part. it's just a stupid thing to say. what would otherwise be a valid reason to whine about, turns into getting an eye roll and a "get over yourself, you think you have problems?"  I know someone who says it over everything. like, the weather. and not even weather that ruins her day, but like, her hands get cold. and people say it because their kids get colds. that's just called life. not a bad one.  It's kind of like shooting yourself in the foot, if you say it- your complaint lose all credibility and everyone will be instantly annoyed by you.   I find that nobody ever uses it when it's actually a warranted thought. It's only for stupid crap or really minor inconveniences in the scheme of life.

Uhg, waiting 6 minutes in the waiting room. =/= FML

Finished chemo, now 6 more months of waiting to see if it stays in remission. FML worthy- but not something anyone would actually say.

It's not the "f*ck" part that bothers me... it's that people use it for stupid reasons "stuck in traffic - FML"  "alarm didn't go off this morning - FML"    "forgot to put mascara on - FML"  like these things are all the end of the world. I find that these people tend to be chronic FML-ers too, which makes the annoying factor even more annoying.

Unless you are legitimately going through a horrific experience, I think it's overly dramatic and a call for attention.

laurenpetro

have you met me? 

what i find funny is the only real "FML" period i've had, i'm pretty sure my post title wouldn't have been "FML".  it was "um, my mom died."  oh irony, thy name is the internet.

These two points exactly.

But really, if someone's kid had cancer or their mom died, they wouldn't even say FML because that would trivialize it. So yeah.

And there you go....I honestly never see FML so I apologize to all of you who are FML'd out the ying yang on a daily basis.

No apology necessary. I like the word cunty. Tomato, tomahto

i curse all the time lol. try not to in front of the kids, but fml just irks me. same as smh

molldoll71

I have NEVER heard it used for something terrible.  No one would say FML my Dad died or my child has a life threatening disease.  I never thought it was for truly terrible things.  That is what I don't get.
