Today, I went skating at the local rink. I had a really hard time balancing and was falling all over the place. After everyone had a good laugh, someone finally decided to tell me that one of my blade covers was still on, thanks. FML

Today, I went ice skating for my friend's birthday. We had to vacate the skating rink so that they could smooth out the rink for the next session. I don't know how to skate and my friends left me. Not only was I the last one out of the rink, but I had to crawl my way out with everyone laughing. FML

Happy feet

Today, I went ice skating at a place with the most terrible rental skates. Pair 1 was too worn out, pair 2 too small, pair 3 damaged inside. I thought pair 4 was finally a winner, until I got on the ice and realized the blades were fucked. I went flying forward, landed hard, and slid across the ice like a penguin. FML

Today, while ice-skating with my girlfriend, I tried to do what they do in the movies and make her gently fall into my arms. Instead she slipped, fell, and hit her head on the ice. FML

Today, I tried to go rollerskating with my kids. I wasn’t even able to fully stand up before I fell and broke my leg. FML

Today, I was out skating with a guy I really like. I put on my best moves, to impress him. I ended up slicing his lip open with my skate mid-jump. His lip is now wired shut by twelve stitches. FML

Today, I was skating to school and a car stopped then when I was skating across, then another car came and hit me and I went flying.. Her one response was ,"Oops, sorry, didn't see you." Everyone else saw me. FML

Today, I had my first ice skating lesson. I had to wait 5 years for a rink to open in my town, 2 weeks for my lessons to begin, but only 10 minutes to fall and hit my tailbone so hard that I can't walk. FML

Today, I went skiing. Trying to show off to some inexperienced skiers, I flew past them at my top speed, a bracket snapped off my boot and I slid on my face for about 30 metres. FML

Today, the weather was beautiful, so I decided to go out skating. I guess I took a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood, because I ended up being chased several blocks by a group of jacked-up thugs wielding baseball bats and taunting, "Skate or die, homie!" FML

Today, I took my nephew to the roller rink and I broke not one arm but both. Now I can't even wipe. FML

♫ Old McDonald had a rink. E-I-E-I-O! ♫ And on that rink, there was a dink. E-I-E-I-O! ♫ With a bonk-bonk here, and a bonk-bonk there, ♫ Here a bonk, there a bonk, everywhere a bonk-bonk, ♫ You got pwned 'cause you don't think. E-I-E-I-O!

A Canadian who can't skate? is that even possible? I thought all you guys up north could skate before you can walk. You sure you're not from America?

Eh, I'm not buying it. Rentals don't come with blade covers, and anybody who's skated enough (or even once before) and has his or her own skates could never mistake that feeling for anything except exactly what it is. You've never actually tried to skate with blade covers if you think it's possible to be out on the ice enough to fall repeatedly and not figure it out.

Where did it say she had rentals? I agree though, you can't really tell if you have skate guards on when you're walking to the ice surface from the dressing room, but (I have done this before) the second you step on the ice and fall over, normal people clue in instantly.

Wouldn't you be able to balance, but just not move anywhere at all?

Not really, in theory you could balance, but hard plastic does not stick to ice. If she had the cloth protectors then she could stand a little easier but still have her feet slip out like nothing if she leaned or anything. And the op was trying to move as she did not realize she had the guards on, so she wouldn't have been able to stand at all.
