Today, I decided to test a theory. If you prefer the average stories, please approve this, if you prefer the unaverage stories, please reject this. Thank you for your time, MLIA.
yes. if you dont want to read average stories, then dont come to mylifeisAVERAGE. i think i'm gonna die if i read one more story about ninjas and old people that act like 5 year olds
Anything's better than saying, HARRY POTTER, I HATE TWILIGHT, OLD PEOPLE, NARNIA, BLAH BLAH. Harry Potter fever started with one person then a few people went blah blah and Harry potter is now a big thing. The people with Harry Potter stories about how they go into the toilet and "The chamber of secrets has been open" is bullshit and ungenuine. Harry Potter is a good movie don't get me wrong but people are now only starting to like it because people on MLIA do. All the old people stories, with ninja's and pirate's and that ending with, BEST.(thing.EVER SHOULD BE ON MLIG NOT MLIA BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AVERAGE STORIES! FOR GOD'S SAKE CHANGE BACK TO THE OLD REAL FUNNY MLIA PLEASE.
I've religiously loved Harry Potter since I was first grade, and had no IDEA what MLIA is/was. People in MY class love ninjas, and they have no clue what MLIA is. I don't like Narnia. So don't think everyone hated them and then all of a sudden loved them because they read an MLIA post.
I agree with you completely however, on other things... There is a harry potter site averagewizard.com
I go there when I want to post something potterish, not here. This is MYLIFEISAVERAGE, definitely not MYLIFEISSOCOOLANDTOTALLYFAKE. That's MYLIFEISG. but I don't know where it went....
No. Accidentally once, I hit the 'go to last' button, and I saw the very first page. I was like, what the hell? Why do people even bother READING this, let alone writing it?! The new ones make me laugh, and while they do need to get over the whole Best Grandma Ever and I Love old people thing, the original ones are still funny and brighten my day.
Some of the original ones are funny. But as soon as the OP's see that they take it and keep reposting it until it is a cliche, and some are just fake. This is a site for REAL things that happened
thank you for being you! i did the same thing and they were all jst "i tripped and then decided to eat some cereal." and i thought i was on another website(a STUPID)one. the new ones ROCK!
ALRIGHT-AND YES-YES I AM TYPING IN CAPITALS THANKS FOR ASKING, BUT ANYWAYS, WE NEED TO FLOOD THE ENTIRE MLIA SYSTEM WITH AVERAGENESS!! ALRIGHT SO LIKE YEAH, STUFF LIKE "TODAY, I ATE SOME SKITTLES." WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, ALRIGHY OK, I THINK YOU GET IT.
Why would u want this website to go back to the way it was before.........it was so damn boring "I pumped gas into my car today MLIA" a better question is why would u want to read this so what if the website is mylifeisaverage it's so much more worth the time to read something that ok might not be real but at least is entertaining I hope it doesn't change and this stays as just ppl whining
The average person uses correct punctuation. If you really find all this crap funny, go make your own site for it. Oh wait, you can't, you're just a middle schooler with a freakish sense of humor...
okay Ive read it... big deal. who cares? i really don't. but the current MLIA is funny and ENTERTAINING. yes i know its been written b4. but u dont seem 2 get it. okay... if you want some boring average stuff go to this site: http://mlistillaverage.tumblr.com/ OKAY??? now will you stop being so horrible!!!
OMG, britishperson, YES! That site is so 'average', all you average people will just have to love it! Can't you read that instead, and leve MLIA the way it is?
Think about it, your just bored because the average stories are beginning to get repeditive.You'll get bored again once the fake stories follow suit, then you'll be saying you want the average stories back.Plus this site is my life is AVERAGE.com, not my life is IF I MAKE UP THIS CRAP MAYBE ALL THE GOOD ACTUALLY REAL STORIES WON"T GET TO BE POSTED AND I LIKE DOING THIS CAUSE I'M A JERK.com
the evolution from average to awesome in the world is actually depicted in this website, meaning that awesome is now average... now isn't that an awesome concept?
Awesome, if you look up the definition, is amazing, and therefore NOT average. So, if you want to go make a MyLifeIsAwesome, go ahead. But, keep in mind that whenever one is submitted to this site, it is an oxymoron.
Okay, if you must keep making fake stories about odd people... I'll just say to all of those, not MyLifeIsAverage, but MyLifeIsAwesome. I will then laugh at how you submitted it to the wrong site, and have had it turn into an oxymoron. Morons.
Wow! Is everyone ready to be mature yet? It's a freakin' website! If you don't like how it is you don't have to look at it. Everyone is acting like this is a choice of life or death. Get over it!
Perhaps they've decided to play a little catch up with the posts and just told those of us who posted while there were only 6 digest to go fuck themselves.
ugh! if you want a freaking average story then sumbit one, stop complaining about the funny storys... i swear im gonna have to cut some heads off, this is driving my crazy.
UGH! If you want a freaking average story then sumbit one, stop complaining about the funny storys... I swear i'm gonna have to cut some heads off, this is driving my crazy.
You're fucking stupidity is driving me crazy. We DO submit average stories, but the fucktards who vote keep clicking 'No.' on them so they don't get through. You need to learn more about the system before you complain about our actions.
They aren't funny. They're cliche, unoriginal, and, quite frankly, retarded. Also, I don't mean to offend when I say 'retarded'. If you were offended, I am sorry.
Yes. I've submitted two since I've had an account, and had some people pre-vote. And I'm still waiting for them to go up. Assuming they will with this hacker trash going on.
Is anyone actually interested in a site with a better servers and no cliche stories where you need to make an account to participate? I actually made one in January, and it's still running.
meh. all the average stories at the beginning of this site were all BORING. who wants to hear about someone wahsing their car,or doing their laundry? if all of you poeple here wanna make this back into an "average" site, then all the people who post actually FUNNY things on here sh0uld make a new site...we could call it mylifeisaver-awesome.com :D
What was being posted on this site before was what the site was intended for. Don't get pissy at people wanting to know why the posts don't match the site criteria.
meh. all the average stories at the beginning of this site were all BORING. who wants to hear about someone washing their car,or doing their laundry? if all of you people here wanna make this back into an "average" site, then all the people who post actually FUNNY things on here should make a new site...we could call it mylifeisaver-awesome.com
i corrected my mistakes on spelling and stuff. :)
Because dumb shits changed the original classy MLIA, and there is not any funny stories left, unless you go back 2500 pages ago. Everything is now twilight harry potter ect ect.
you need a mix of both, I started reading in december and all the stories are funny. I was voting on submissions and i clicked YES on avg. stories but it didn't get posted. I made and account today; if anything is going to chane I think that the page turner should go 1-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc. so you can skip all the stories you read and read new ones. Click YES for average stories if you want them
I think we should have a mix of funny stories AND average ones. I like them both! Everyone has had exciting things happen to them at least once.. So doesn't that make the exciting stories average too? You don't have to say, "Today I made ramen noodles and they were okay. MLIA" to be average. Sometimes, teachers are crazy and strangers are cool. Just because a story is surprising doesn't mean it's always a fake (although there are quite a few that are). If we start arguing, we'll be worse than the mylifeistwilight people... Don't let that happen!
I Average'd this. This site is supposed to be average, and average is something that happens to everyone. A riddle you can't answer. A food you ate. A stair you tripped on. Average, right? If you have an awesome story, go to another site. If you have a made-up story, don;t post it anywhere, it's not worth our time.
Don't act like you all don't enjoy reading some fake stories. Some are pretty darn hilarious. But, some ridiculous ones are annoying. But in general, WHO CARES?
Dude, are the obnoxious guy that just had around 5 stories posted saying how much this site sucks now that people are posting less average stories? Cause there's been like 5 MLIAs in a row that were all whiny posts similar to yours. True or not, average or not, the stories here are entertaining. If you dont like it, dont read the site.
The site wasn't meant for it though. Read the first pages of MLIA. It's about things that happen in everybody's lives. "Today, I brushed my teeth. MLIA" Boring to you, but average to everybody.
Not that is was boring, I enjoyed those stories too. But either way, the stories are funny and entertaining, though the site has turned to more random, unaverage stories.
yes they happen to everyone thats why no one wants to hear them, if the administrators wanted this site to be your kind of 'average,' then they wouldn't have a team of monkeys helping them (FAQ page) Maybe its just me but that doesn't seem like your average
A user of Mlig originally made this site as a joke. The first page of course is boring things. but after then average- but funny things were posted. Check on "best of the year" and you'll see the REAL mlia's like "Today I had rice. I'm asian. MLIA" see what I'm saying?
I don't understand why you'd like things to be boring. You can't tell me you'd like to sit around for hours reading "Today, I sat on a bench. It was nice. MLIA" as opposed to "Today I saw a guy dressed up as batman chasing a guy dressed up as the joker. He then attacked him to the ground and started tickling him. MLIA" I find these stories to be inspiring, and a way to bring those people together... who aren't afraid to have a laugh in life and step out of their element. Bring on the unaverage!
I think its just a website dont make it a life or death situation just dont vote for nonaverage ones if you dont want them posted its that simple and plus I understand that the site is called my life is average but still who wants to read "I ate a sandwich" 30 times. I understand your complaint but its not a big deal I personally think the website should have both.
Agreed. It's just a Web site. Anyway, the point of the site used to be that life is normal. The new objective is that awesome things can happen to a person with an average life. And how is that a crime?
Yes . . . however, the site is called My LIFE Is Average, not "Things In My Life Are Average." We all have pretty normal lives, with the occasional random bit of fun mixed in. And that is the magic of the current MLIA.
I admit, there's way too many of some stories, like the nerf gun ones and (Lord bless my soul) The Harry potter ones even. Not all of them, but some are getting pretty redundant. What I personally like are the ironic posts, those always give me a laugh.
I don't think it's gotten quite that terrible though. What I want to know is how it even happened. XD
Actual comment on the actual post, which will actualy make me seem like an actual moron.
I actually appreciate both. But some of the non-average ones kind of make me feel bad for not liking everything the "average" person likes (Example: I don't like Harry Potter and can't stand the sight of the Waldo posts). I think the main problem with the unaverage posts is that they occassionally act like you're uncool if you don't appreciate them... whereas truly average stories can be appreciated by all. Plus, I really don't like reading "Best. Insert object here. EVER." At all.
On the other hand, some of the unaverage stories truly entertain me, though it can go eitehr way for sure.
there's nothing interesting about being boringly average! "Today, I put on pair of socks. MLIA." NO. we need these other great stories that make our lives "average." that make us smile, because maybe it doesnt exactly fit our own personal definition of average. not crap about socks.fun things, that happen in OUR AVERAGE everyday lives. but seriously, people really need to stop posting things that didnt happen. it takes away from the averageness.
Honey, you need to go make a cite called My LifeIsUnrealistic if you think that the stories about people dressing up as ninjas and lightsaber battles with teachers are average. Reality is that those things do not happen to most people during many times in their lives, making them unaverage. Maybe they happen to the OP everyday but that is an abnormalty, 1 out of 100, which is NOT average. Maybe "Today, I put on socks. MLIA" isn't funny, but it is average- anyway show me ONE post that is like that. So mess up another website with your unrealistic-crap!
You are all stupid, the ones that are FUNNY are the good ones. I HATE the ones that say, "Today I got up and ate cereal. MLIA." Average is being old but loving little kid things, that is average and you all are boring people, go make a site that says MyLifeIsBoring, stop boring up MLIA!!!

Um you do realise that it's called AVERAGE, and you're complaining that average things are being posted in the wrong place. This was created as MLIA for average things... so if names worry you so much, go on something that doesn't make you a raging hypocrite.
I think it would be cool if we could combine the two- those average events that become unaverage when something unexpected happens. The obviously fake ones are annoying, but I do like it when I hear the juxtaposed things that happen in people's lives.
Dear MLIAers: This Web site is NOT called "My Life's Events Are Average." The site is called "My LIFE Is Average." That's what makes the weirder stories so special. You see, if someone led a life where ninjas constantly popped out at them, or where inanimate objects did strange and magical things every day, that wouldn't be an average life. The reason that so many of these stories are appropriate for MLIA is because we know these people wouldn't normally go through those funny/odd things. You know why? Because their lives are AVERAGE. See my point?
You're telling people you don't know to go fuck themselves? What exactly do you do with your life? Does anyone like you? I know I don't have any positive feelings toward people who swear at strangers. Or anyone, for that matter.
1. You can't expect everyone that ever reads this website to either catch this or vote on it, so the experiment is flawed.
2. Please make this new website, so that we don't have to hear any more of this shit that you guys are talking about. No one gives a flying fuck about what you guys think. We just want to read our favorite stories. If you don't like to laugh, don't make me want to come beat the living shit out of you. Unless you're a female. I don't hit females.
3. No number three. Writer is too damn pissed.
The only reason why people post these "magical" stories of ninjas and such is because their lives are so average it was just something that stuck out. Let's be honest, people with way above (or below for that matter) lives couldn't care less about what old people say, this is a site for the appreciation of something that is rarely noticed.
Once again "Ain't broke, don't fix it"
I started reading MLIA sometime last summer and loved it. The posts started getting worse and worse, and after a few months of horrible stories I was ashamed to come to the site. So I stopped. I've checked it a few times since then and the stories still sucked until today. It's gotten somewhat average again, and I approve of this story. :)
I don't really know. I don't think that all of these crazy stories are fake, but I do think that people think that the only way to get stories posted on here now is to make these stories about ninjas and stuff. Which is funny. In moderation. But when every other post is about the same old things, they get irritating. I love the earlier stories, and I don't think they're boring at all. I totally agree with standtogether. The main thing that bugs me is the fact that people have to lie in order to seem non-average...on an *average* site. People should just post the funny, true, average things that happen in their life. And this comment is a lot longer than I expected it to be so I'm stopping now...
There's NOTHING that beats a well-crafted average story. They are every bit as entertaining as the unaverage submissions. MLIA should be amount of reminding us of the small things we do in life that link us together.
I don't get it! Just as a lot of people suggested, I went back 200 pages to see the "good old MLIA's". The first was about Miley Cyrus. Then one about ninjas. So I went back 1000 pages. Another about Miley Cyrus, snowball fights, and funny stuff that could easily be made up. Then, 1800 pages. Same thing. What am I missing here? All that's different is the "BEST. TEACHER. EVER." "MADE. MY. DAY." and stuff. Is that the real problem? Not the funniness but the cliche endings?
Thank you for posting this. I was getting super (but not too super) irritated with all the crap about forty year old's coloring ninjas and little kids hating Hanna Montana.
AVERAGE STORIES ARE BORING!! Even if the not-so-average stories are fake (which im not saying they are), they're funny and actually, right about now, there my only happiness in life. i say keep the not-so-average stories, or make a new site for them so the average stories have a site and the not-so-average ones have a site
I disagree. I mean, I find the overused, cliche, "I dressed as a ninja and met up with my teacher. He gave me a high five. Coolest Teacher Ever! MLIA" boring. This however, "Today, I made a joke about blondes. There was a blonde there. No one cared. MLIA" THAT, I can relate to. So I laugh. Sure, Dinosaurs and ninjas are cool, but fuck, these stories get boring as shit. They're all the same.
i totally agree with you, average stories are boring. even though the awesome stories may be made up, at least they are funny and they give us something to laugh about. we dont want mlia's to be "today I didn't eat breakfast. MLIA" That's not funny, and this is what they want.
Poor baby, you must have been neglected as a child. Go take a shower and a long nap, then get some hot cocoa. It'll all be okay. People will love you for the first time in your life. xx
I've been loved all my life. It's just this debate that's making me mad. Also, stop with your sarcasm. It's annoying. We need to end this argument. Then it'll all go away.
WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT AVERAGE STORIES!? WE ALL HAVE AVERAGE LIVES SO I GO ON HERE TO READ FUNNY STORIES THAT MAKES ME LAUGH. AVERAGE STORIES DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH, SO I DISAGREE WITH THIS. WE SHOULD CONTINUE WITH OUR AWESOME STORIES!!! GOOD THIS IF YOU AGREE.
@2ManyTeardropsOnMyGuitarJust4U: WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT CLICHE STORIES!? THEY'RE SO FRICKIN' ANNOYING AND REPETITIVE THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE! AND GO READ THIS! http://mylifeisaverage.com/about
there is an average site.
www.mlistillaverage.com
it's not my site so don't think im promoting it
but i read it every day and love it
there's still some funny stories on mlia every once and a while but they're few and far between.
YOU PEOPLE THAT DO NOT ENJOY THE APPARENTLY "CLICHE" STORIES ARE SOUL-LESS!!! YOU HAVE NO HUMOUR!!! FIND A DIFFERENT SITE TO RUIN AND GO THERE, LEAVE MLIA THE WAY IT BECAME, WITH ALL THE NINJAS, DINOSAURS, AND WALDO A PERSON COULD WANT!!
AGAIN, this site isn't called My Life's Events Are Average. It's My LIFE Is Average. If something cool happens to you once in the midst of your average life, don't you want to share it?
I agree with you almost wholeheartedly, but really, the point is to post average stories. And ignore the guy who boxes with cereal boxes. They just collapse when you recycle them anyway.
http://mlistillaverage.tumblr.com/page/2 go there, finally some really average stories leave mlia to the tards who want the cliche and yes i am using tard in a non offensive way, we all want our average stories back so if they dont get posted here go to this site for average
Honestly, stop complaining. Voting "Average" or "Meh" won't change anything. You're just wasting people's time by having them read this. If you want something done then your post should have said something along the lines of "Hey everyone, go to the 'vote on submissions' tab and vote for the boring kind of stories like the ones on the first pages instead of the posts that actually make this site funny/interesting." Because this isn't about the site moderators/administrators doing anything. The stories that get put up are the ones that the majority vote on. So stop complaining.
nobody wants to read average crap!!! its not entertaining!!!!! and your comment is seriously just a waste of time for those of us who actually want to read oh, i dont know.......STUFF THATS ENTERTAINING!!! more entertaining than "today i used the blow dryer until my hands were fully dry for the first time instead of wiping them on my pants. i felt accomplished" that is the kind of stuff that no one gives a crap about
i agree mandatha. *NOBODY* WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT SOMEONES AVERAGE ASS LIFE, WE ALL HAVE THEM!! WE NEED ENTERTAINING STORIES TO INTEREST US AND KEEP US COMING BACK, NOT STUFF WE CAN EXPERIENCE BASICALLY EVERY DAY BY BUT A WHIM OF CHOICE!! THE AVERAGE-DESIRING PEOPLE SHOULD JUST MIGRATE TO FML.....STOP RUINING THE SITE YOU SOUL-LESS, HUMOUR-LESS PEOPLE!!
I like the funny "lies". They make me laugh. But if you want to be "average" go onto this site:
http://mlistillaverage.tumblr.com/
so now will people stop posting stories about how they want it to be more average... THATS boring, even if the average stuff isn't.
this is pathedic !!! i hate reading MLIA anymore because the stories are not average, they are stupid, this site used to make me laugh and now it just bores me !!! GOOD AVERAGE STORIES UNITE!!!!!!
Dude, MLIG is shit, plain old shit, it has little humour, stories of goodness and stuff, but little humour. fml can end up depressing if your not some douche bag that laughs at peoples misfortune
and mlia was good till the average-ness came back, seriously, listen to britishperson, please just go to the http://mlistillaverage.tumblr.com/ site and leave the humour of mlia's apparently "cliche" stories alone.
You've got 2 average site, we who like the good stories (not-so-average) have but one.
average-ness is too common in life, we dont need to hear about some one drying their hands or petting a cat and then describing said cat. There is peace to be found her and said peace can be found by the actual average-desiring going to the other of there 2 option sites and leave us to "cliche" this place up and cheer people up
But it's frustrating...this was created for AVERAGE people and the first posts were from AVERAGE people and we shouldn't have to leave for NON-AVERAGE people.
Yes, but, you people be having 2 sites as to which you could view your apparently humourous average stories. Whilst we who like to view the not-so-average stuff have not a place to go where we may achieve the viewing of actual *good* humour thats not all about sex or something as to that direction......Plus ill track you people down with the help of the polar bear i hath tamed and persuade you to leave, whilst drinking the nectar of my country, maple syrup. And btw, I am an average Canadian, but I enjoy not-so-average humour.
I liked the "not-average" stories, really. and no one want s to read stories like the old MLIA stories. don't complain, leave us people who want some humor and fun in our lives alone. really.
Guys, no body gives a crap about funny or entertaining on this site, it's supposed to be AVERAGE, not awesome. Go make MyLifeIsCliche or MyLifeIAwesome but take that stuff somewhere else, some ppl enjoy average storie and the reason I haven't been on this so long is because of the cliches. I'm "meh"ing every cliche I see now unless it makes me laugh.
Im thinking there are quite a few people that care about entertaining on this site, why do you think there are over 2000 not-so-average posts?? take your average-ness to http://mlistillaverage.tumblr.com/
The "average" stories are lame. If you think anybody really cares you really need a life, they should make a website for youcalled MyLifeIsLame. I fell in love with this websites becuase of the great stories and yes people reallly need to stop faking them and get new ideas, I hate the repeative ones, but the good ones that great ones where everything turned out great and was a unforgetable experience, thoise are the ones i want to read, I DO NOT care if you ate toast instead of grilled cheese. Please, Just just give me my website back D:
"but the good ones that great ones where everything turned out great and was a unforgetable experience" That's not the point of this site. It's called my life is AVERAGE for a reason.
I find it funny that some of these people are yelling (a.k.a, writing in caps) about how they hate to read about the average stories. Please look at the name of the website. And ask yourself why you are on this site.
due to the fact that when we came here, the stories were actually interesting and funny, not talking about absolutely pointless average stuff anyone can achieve any day
Truthfully most people's lives aren't like the posts here everyday, thus making it UNaverage. The pointless stuff is what happens in any regular persons day making it average.
Im talking bout the boring ones (the ones of the first pages and the ones that are making an unfortunate come-back), they describe boring everyday stuff that can be achieve by many a person, not the unaverage ones. sorry for the confusion there
The funny part is that I made this post just to see if I could get people to attack each other. Needless to say... we learned about human nature today.
If you don't like average stories on My Life Is AVERAGE, then go elsewhere. Seriously. This site isn't meant to share about how your teacher said "That's what she said" while talking to your Best dad EVER and two people dressed as ninjas are in the background fighting with each other. Oh, and I'll throw in a little girl who hates Miley Cyrus while I'm at it. Entertaining =/= Average. However, I do think that we should throw in some comic relief now and again. And to the people cursing each other out, all I have to say is: "This is srs bzns."
There are more posts complaining about this site than actual average quotes. The readers are the ones who monitor what quotes get onto the site. So stop posting these and submit average quotes!
Honestly I don't have a huge problem with the non-average stories, I think a lot of them are funny. I like the average ones more, but having both seems like a nice compromise. What I do have a problem with is the cliches. Seriously, can we kill Harry Potter/Twilight/ninjas/Walmart/Best.X.Ever! already?
Average is does not mean lame and boring. A lot of everyday moments can be funny and entertaining, and are much more interesting to read about than overused cliches, in my opinion.
most of the stories on this site are more, mylifeisawesome, not mylifeisaverage. basically all the stories are harry potter vs twilight, google vs yahoo (google wins), walmart adventures, people's ninja abilities, etc. but i lke em :)
I personally the like the funny spontaneous stuff. Not the stupid crap that is obviously made up and not the really old boring stuff but the middle. The stuff that is obviously possible and very funny at the same time should be the only stuff on here and thats that!
Today, I realized that many of the stories on MLIA are not average. I also realized that stories about the stories being unaverage are twice as annoying as unaverage stories. MLIA
.... I don't get it. Do you mean the ones that are actually average a.k.a "Today I ate an apple," or the awesome ones a.k.a "Today I had an epic fight to the death with 6 light savers, 4 wooden swords, 12 rulers, a poke ball, half my math class, and my new favorite teacher"?
