Today, for April fools I decided to set off the smoke detectors in my friend's apartment while he was sleeping and saran wrap the outside of his bedroom doorway so he would smack into it. Instead, he jumped out the window and broke his leg. FML

Today, my friend thought it would be funny to dress in all black with a ski mask and use my spare key to break into my house as a joke. He though it was even funnier when I jumped out the window and broke my leg. FML

Today, a coworker and I pulled a April Fools' prank on our boss. She "borrowed" his keys and rolled down his window. I took a car window from a scrap yard and sprinkled it on the ground near his door. His response was to kick the nearest object in anger. The nearest object happened to be my car. FML

Today, I ran into the living room when I heard the smoke alarm going off. Turns out, my friend thought it was a good idea to melt a plastic cup on my floor heater. He also thought the best way to put it out was to urinate on it. My house smells like burnt pee. FML

Stealth

Today, I was having a smoke out on the balcony of my apartment. When I was walking back into the house, I walked straight into the large glass sliding door, loudly whacking it with my forehead, subsequently waking up my 2 other flatmates at 2.30am. FML

Today, my roommate played a "prank" on me. He taped a length of clear cellophane at ankle-height just outside my bedroom door, causing me to trip and faceplant the floor, and busting out a tooth. I now look like a hick, and my roommate is refusing to cover my dental bills. FML

Today, my roommate thought it would be funny to throw a brick down the laundry-chute. Guess who spent the night at the hospital. FML

Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house because I knew his parents wouldn't be there. Later, I woke up in a hospital bed because his sister thought I was a burglar and tased me. FML

Today, my prank backfired when the airhorn prank I set up for my dad burst and blew a hole in his office window, which also broke his laptop screen. FML

Pretty sure it's an FML for OP because he lost this person as a friend.

My mom's friend's son (who I used to play with when I was little) just fell off an eighth floor balcony in Florida while on spring break. He died. Be glad your friend only has a broken leg.

You DONT jump out the window, end of story. I also doubt the OP heated the door knob as that would have made him skip out on going through the door which would have made him not go through the seran wrap. Also, what kind of fire alarm was it, like, a centralized one that goes through the entire building causing the entire building to go off or like one you installed on the ceiling so you pushed the test button. If you set off the entire building, then FYL.

Yeah that is totally not your fault. That guy is kind of an idiot. Who the heck jumps out the window when the alarm goes off? What if it had gone of accidentally? I mean, really, its not like taking a couple seconds to figure out what's going on would burn him alive even if there was a fire. This is definitely a FYL; that guy ruined what was a really funny prank
