Health: Today, after months of begging, I finally convinced my friends...

Today, after months of begging, I finally convinced my friends to go skiing with me. On our first run I suggested a race. Everybody loved the idea. Good news: I came in first. Bad news: I tore a ligament in my knee. It will be operated on tomorrow. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, on my first ski run down a mountain, I dislocated my patella. Now I get to watch out of the window as my family builds a snowman and names it after me. FML

Today, I went sledding with my friends. I said I was tired and didn't want to go, but they press-ganged me into it. I ended up sledding right into a tree, fracturing my leg, and scraping up my entire face. FML

Today, I was feeling depressed, so I decided to go snowboarding with friends to cheer myself up. I fell on the first trail and broke my dominant wrist. FML

Today, I fractured a bone in my knee. Now not only do I have to wear a huge knee brace for the next two months, I'll have to sit around in a hotel room all of next week while my family has fun skiing in the mountains. FML

Today, after months of grueling training and countless early mornings, I finally began the race I had been preparing for over the past year, only to slip and break my leg in the first 450 meters. FML

Today, I went skiing. On the first run of the day, a little girl came out of nowhere and crashed into me. I was fine, but she was hurt, so I called the ski patrol. She told him that I deliberately hit her, and got me kicked out. I was there for 10 minutes. I paid for all day. FML

Christmas is treacherous

Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. 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

Slippery slope

By Anonymous - 20/02/2023 05:00

Today, I went skiing for the very first time and spent more time falling down than actually skiing. Despite the fact that I'm up here in the mountains for another week with my family, I'm never trying that again. FML

You are that person who tries to turn everything into a competition so you can be an asshole about it if you win aren't you? karma.

Can’t a person just want to do things with their friends?

Sure, going skiing was doing something with his friends. He had to "beg" his friends to go with him. But then he turned it into a competition and a race on their first run? I've had "friends" like that in the past. Everything has to be a competition, if they win, they ruin the rest of the trip/day bragging about how they won. If they lose, then it was just a stupid competition that didn't mean anything. People stopped wanting to hang out with them because of it.

No, a person who tries to turn everything into a competition wouldn't even try to make it a race. They would just ski normally and declare themself the winner once they were at the bottom.

OP here. First things first: as I mentioned in another post this happened to a friend of mine not myself. 2. We went skiing together, we are good friends, we are all very good skiers and we were hyped up on the nice weather and the awesome conditions so she SUGGESTED a race. We were all totally on board with the idea. We are a close group of friends that are naturally competitive and she knows this. (And there is nothing wrong with that.) Anyways we do things like that all the time and in no way shape or form does she make EVERYTHING about winning. It was just a nice idea she had that (unfortunately) backfired a bit.... It's so easy to judge and talk down to people if you don't have all the facts isn't it?? How about not assuming things? And even if she is the competitive type (again there is nothing wrong with that) she doesn't deserve to have her ligament torn!!

Your friends must be crap skiers if they can’t beat you with a torn ligament.

I'm the OP! =D ... This actually didn't happen to me but to a friend of mine, but she asked me to post it on here and show her the comments. XD She also asked me to thank all the well wishers! So: Thanks guys. Her operation went well. She has a full leg brace and is not allowed to move for the next 2 weeks or so. But other than that she's doing fine.
