Today, we decided to go to an aquarium for a little family get-away. At the end was a shark viewing deck, and I leaned over the rails to get a better look. How did I find out that my glasses needed to be adjusted? They fell off and sunk right to the bottom of the shark-infested waters. FML

Today, after buying a new pair of prescription glasses, I went to the beach. The ocean now has a new pair of glasses. FML
Today, against my wishes, my family and I went swimming with sharks. While in the shark cage, a shark got within a few feet of us. My cowardly bowels objected and caused me to shit myself. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my friend. We figured it'd be awesome if I jumped from my kayak straight into his. Sounded good in theory. One flipped kayak, a pair of lost glasses, and a humiliating swim back to shore later, I'm starting to think it wasn't the best idea. FML
Today, I couldn't find my reading glasses, thinking perhaps i'd dropped them outside, I stepped off my deck bare foot, straight into a steaming dog turd. Only to see my glasses chewed up a few feet away. It went between my toes. FML
Today, I went tanning on the beach. I found a nice spot close to shore and laid there with my towel and sunglasses. A few hours later, I awoke to waves splashing at me. My towel was soaked and my sunglasses must have washed off the shore. Damn high tide. FML
Today, I was using the restroom at work when my glasses slipped off my face and landed right in the toilet. FML
Today, I opened my new contact lenses for the first time in a month and accidentally dropped one, only to watch it disappear helplessly down the drain. Give a name to the situation. FML
Today, while at the beach, as a joke, I told my girlfriend that I was a shark. She then poked my eyes and punched me in the nose. When I started to get mad, she just shrugged and asked, "What? You're the one that wanted to be a shark. Don't you watch Shark Week?" FML
Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML
Today, I got into the shower with my glasses on by mistake. I spent 5 minutes convinced that the fog in my vision was me going blind. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you try to get it back? If not at least the sharks will see a little more clearly now.

I would advise leaving them there.

That song poped in my head then I saw your comment

OP is a girl.
MrConcise 34
@36 - Pretty sure the hindsight is clear, even without her glasses.
orbit 22
At least OP had a killer view before his glasses fell

Well unless you're blind.

Sharks must of thought it was their lucky day. FYL op
colby6666 43
I'm sorry. Have* That just irks me a lot. Anywho, the sharks must feel very lucky!
tj4234 35
Well since you did this to #2... It's anyhow, not anywho. Anywho is a misused phrase. :p Now someone needs to correct me I guess.
RageWolf16 31
Anywho is a nonsense word, but lots of people use it so while it's technically incorrect it's also completely fine to use.
tj4234 35
True, but lots of people say "should of" as well.
Drag0nb0rn 22
Should of is how it's pronounced but it is spelled should've. Anywho, though is just a common phrase that apparently is incorrect while should of is just bad grammar
BSnapZ 21
"Anywho" is not bad grammar. It's simply using a word that doesn't exist.
mif_fml 27
Anywho, this thread should of ended a long time ago.
Meggston 17
Look on the bright side! You weren't there alone... And driving... Blind... I'm so sorry...
WhoopteDo 26
OP might have a little trouble seeing the bright side.. as someone with 24/7 prescription glasses, I can sympathize.. fyl OP
Meggston 17
Mine are both -4.0. I think he's having trouble seeing anything.
DArthurVaderian 18
I have 20/25 and I really only wear mine for classes then take them off, so they could be not needed for OP at the time.
VonBlitzkrieg 27

food for the sharks
Blizzards 13
I'm not so sure the sharks would appreciate eating glass.

Glasses are friends, not food.
False_Stupidity 41
When you're a shark, everything is food! (even if it's not digestible)
Earths_Venus 25
I can't really comment sight unseen but I think I see your problem. Are you sure you weren't framed?
Jghaugland 6
I love you.

Cheers. Good to know someone appreciates my terrible jokes.

Unless it's Bruce from finding nemo good luck getting then back FYL

fish are friends, not food!

Regular fish, yes. Sharks, not so much.

*Spoiler to Finding Memo(even though everyone has seen it) #7, Bruce ends up attempting to kill them anyway.....
rocker_chick105 31
Finding Memo sounds like another awful office comedy show

Am I the only one that finds it weird that there is just an open exhibit for viewing sharks with the possibility of falling in? At least where I'm from, the aquariums have walls of glass separating us and the marine life.
titibug823 11
they have a viewing point at seaworld so visitors can see the sharks from up above in the Shark Encounter.
feven 32
Now that you mention it, that is really weird.
Bjar98 6
i dont know, but i guess that we here in denmark have a different view on zoos than other places :/
Brandi_Faith 33
I thought this was weird too. The way it's posted makes it sound like a shark could jump up and bite someone's head off if they wanted.
Respect101 17
#41, depending on how high they are from the tank. Maybe it's high up, because OP did say they were leaning over to get a closer look. Or maybe the shark just swam under the walkway.

I've been to a couple of parks and aquariums with sharks, I got in the water with them, the sharks they keep in these places are not aggressive towards humans as we're too big for them to eat, usually reef sharks, grey nurses, and occasionally hammer heads, they'll attack if threatened, though, so while you can be in the water with them, it is advised not to get too close
da_best_eva 9
You do realize if you touch a shark it feels like your hand is on fire... And a large number of people think they got bit by a shark when all that happened was that the shark rubbed its skin on them by accident when swimming by
euphoricness 28
Oh my god! I hope the sharks will be okay.
njgohard 16
They probably wouldn't mind. Sharks eat damn near everything.
sicksadworld1317 30
Myth. Aside from Tigers, most sharks will test bite and spit out what isn't food.
s0m3guy2010 21
Bad things always happen to a good set of glasses. Too bad they weren't cheap sunglasses. The sharks would have probably grabbed them with their teeth and then hand them back to you personally.
