F my life! A site in review

A friend recently sent me a link to a fun little site called, f my life. Its a low key, no frills site, as far as design, but the content makes all the difference.  It reads almost like a twitter feed, but it doesn’t adhere to the 140 characters rule.  Users submit short 2-3 sentence stories or anecdotes about an embarrassing or awful situation they find themselves in that they want to share with the Internet.  One of my favorites is:  “Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don’t have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired.”  There are hundreds of submissions to read through most of which are amusing, some of which are hilarious.  They have a separate link for the list of flop submissions, and for the most part the posts on that list are pretty lame.  Be warned that many of the posts have strong language and uncomfortable situations, but then that really should go without saying.  This is not a place for the young or innocent.  Be prepared to have a sense of humor and a touch of fun bitterness upon viewing. 

The site seems to be heavily moderated.  If you submit something to FML, it waits to be approved by a real person, I assume to save them from an onslaught of spam.  Its an amusing site to check out if you find yourself bored, and in need of some laughter at someone else’s expense.  Always remember things can always get worse.  I leave you with this nugget.

“Today, the girl I love and I went to visit my parents out of state for the first time. My father grinned and acknowledged that she was a “keeper”, at which she laughed and said we were “just friends”. I was going to propose to her next week. FML.”
