Miscellaneous: Today, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with the lights...

By Anonymous - 03/01/2010 16:35 - United States

Today, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with the lights off. It was 1AM, and I'd just finished watching a scary movie, so I was a little paranoid. I was about to fall asleep, when an eerie light lit the room. I jumped, got tangled in the sheets, and hit my head against the bed frame. Where'd the light come from? Not a space ship. Not someone breaking in. It was my phone. FML

Today, I woke up in a panic to what sounded like a plane about to crash into my house. I was so scared, I peed myself and passed out. It was just my cell phone vibrating under my pillow. FML

Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML

Today, I was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML

Today, my alarm went off at 6.30. I woke up disorientated, as usual. I looked up and saw a dark, mysterious figure entering my room. Still half asleep, I screamed and dived under my covers. The dark, mysterious figure was my mom. I'm a 21 year old guy. FML

Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my phone ringing. As I groggily reached for it I managed to knock my fan onto my head, leaving a grate-shaped bruise. The best part? My phone wasn't ringing, I dreamed myself awake. FML

Today, after a long day at work, I walked into my room with the lights off and jumped on my bed. At least I would've if I haven't rearranged my room and instead face-planted onto my desk. FML

Night terrors

By Si123 - 15/08/2020 08:01

Today, after a long day at work, I was ready to wind down for the night. I sat on my bed and turned towards a fluttering on my left. I saw the biggest daddy-longlegs inches from my face, jumped in the other direction, forgetting there was a wall, and hit my head on it. I'm now officially wide awake. FML

Today, while I was sleeping, I managed to knock down the curtains by my bed. That would explain the gash on my head and blood on my bed. FML

Blacked out

By Darkness, Darkness - 18/11/2022 03:00 - United States

Today, I was awoken at the ungodly hour of 1 a.m. to find that everything was very dark and quiet. It took me way more time than I'd like to admit to figure out that there was a blackout. As I tried to doze off again, I was jump-scared by the sound of everything coming on again. This happened twice. FML

Never watch horror films, suspense thrillers, or action movies before bed. They really make sleeping difficult.

I can't think of a single alien-related horror movie that doesn't have at least something about space ships. And OP probably doesn't actually think there are alien space ships about ambush them. She's probably just jumpy from the movie, and threw the space ship thing in because that's what it was about. Actually Comment 4 seems to have a better explanation.

I don't relate "scary" movies and "alien horror" in the same category. Scary movies are like... the exorcist... or... The haunting of Conneticut... or Pokemon 2000...

I used to think that way. Then I realized that if something was going to get me, they'd just get me. They wouldn't wait patiently for me to watch a scary movie where they're the bad guy. "Hey Jed, I think this one's watching Scream!" "Really?" "Wait, false alarm. It's just some alien movie." "Damnit. I was so ready to kill someone..."

This is like the longest FML I've seen.. And YDI for watching a scary movie right before going to bed, you should know that's not how you do it.

We do fix FMLs if the OP can't fit them in the 300 character limit, such as add spaces, sentence structure, commas, and spelling, as long as the FML itself doesn't change. This one needed a bit of help. ;-)

This FML could've been a lot shorter without all the pointless information.

Yeah, but the info makes it funnier, IMO. I wouldn't like it if it was like, "I was scared. I hit my head. FML" I guess some people are simple-minded....
