Today, I was home alone in my apartment. I tripped over my dresser and fell and sprained my ankle. As I was laying there in agonizing pain, my downstairs neighbor shouted at me to shut up. FML

Today, I slipped on the ice in front of my apartment, spraining my ankle and cracking a rib. While I laid on the ground immediately after, my neighbor chewed me out for saying "shit" in front of her 4-year-old on my way down. FML

Today, my dorm's fire alarm went off. In the rush to escape, I slipped and fell off my bunk bed, breaking my ankle in two places. Crying, I told my roommates I needed help to walk. They shrugged and left after mentioning that I would slow them down. FML

Unbelievable

Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML

Slipping up

Today, I slipped and sprained my ankle while shopping for a present for my husband, who later came home and tripped over my elevated leg, hurting my ankle again. Now I have an excruciating sprain, and a spouse who's furious at me because, I "shouldn't have tried to surprise him." FML

Today, I broke my toe and screamed, "Fuck!" My mom heard and yelled at me for swearing, while I laid on the floor in pain. FML

Today, I slipped walking down the stairs. My mom thought I sprained my right ankle. In her haste to get me to the doctor, she grabbed me and accidentally tripped me. I broke my left ankle. The right one was fine. FML

Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML

Today, the neighbors heard a blood curdling scream and called the cops, thinking I was being murdered. Nope. I just stubbed my toe. FML

Hurting over here

By wo-ow - 06/06/2014 23:09 - United States - Bronx

Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my leg. My dad helped me to the car so he could drive me to the hospital, but when he saw our neighbor, he went over and had a 15 minute screaming match with him over how his dog keeps shitting on our lawn, all while I sat in the car in agony. FML

If you're making enough noise due to "agonizing pain" from a mere sprained ankle, I imagine you would die if you had ACTUALLY INJURED YOURSELF. Next time you have a little boo boo, try not being such a big ******* pussy and maybe your neighbor won't feel the need to yell at you, princess.

Perhaps you should watch where you're going. To get that reaction from your neighbour, in all likelihood, that's not the first time you've been noisy.

It's also not as bad as your grammar. I think I sprained my brain trying to decipher this chicken scratch. Keep in mind that this FML is about someone else's bullshit injury, not yours.

I've sprained my ankle before and didn't "lie there in agonizing pain."

You've got another perfectly good ankle, use it and go shit on his doorstep.

Stop calling the OP a pussy. Ankle sprains can be excruciatingly painful, and severe sprains can be worse than fractures. I've suffered both an ankle fracture and an ankle sprain (different ankles, different incidents) and the sprain was MUCH worse. The doctor told me it would have been easier to treat a fracture. I spent the whole summer in a cast. For "just a SPRAIN".

It depends on your pain tolerance. Like the guy that fainted when his hand got stuck in a door - pussy. Spraining your ankle and not being able to get up because of pure agony - pussy. Absolutely weak. Low pain tolerance isn't a good excuse.
