Looking for a good way to kill some time? Fmylife.com is a great (although probably unsafe and unhealthy) way! I literally blew two hours of my life browsing stories of people whose lives suck compared to mine.
I am probably a bad person for this, but I cannot help it! It is interesting, full of humor and stories that I can relate to, in a lesser degree. This site offers some great entertainment. However, it comes at a cost: The cost of guilt for endlessly laughing at others' misfortunes.
Here's what Pierre "blatant stater of the obvious" Mannoni had to say about fmylife.com: "Even if it's done with humor, it can be dangerous to describe oneself endlessly as a loser. It can prevent you from succeeding." Thanks Pierre! Quite insightful.
Let us get back to the point. Fmylife.com is slowly becoming one the top-visited sites on this person's computer. I get a bad grade back, I go read some posts and instantly feel better because at least my girlfriend of two years did not just call me the wrong name during "happytime" and the name was not that of my younger brother. Ouch. Being able to read about how life can always be worse helps me, but I am convinced that most of the posts are fabricated (yet still hilarious). Try to read this and not make a face or laugh:
"Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birth date wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. FML."
The site is full of these and others that are not exactly fit to print, if you will. Check it out and waste some time. Maybe it will help you have a better day to get a little laugh.
