Today, my husband and I bought a new swing for our front porch. We put it together and sat down to enjoy our accomplishment. Five minutes into our swing I threw up several times. I have really bad motion sickness, and apparently a swing is no exception. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a date with this really cute guy. We were walking in a park and decided to go on the swings. As I was swinging super high up, I threw up. FML
Today, I enjoyed a romantic evening at home with my husband while a babysitter took care of my 5-year-old daughter. After she came home, she told me the sitter let her use her "weird swing." I wasn't too worried, until she said it was indoors, and I realized she was describing a sex swing. FML
Today, my husband and I were looking for a new house. The open house we were in had a strange floral scent to entice the buyers. I am three months pregnant and have horrible morning sickness. I threw up all over the living room. FML
Today, I greeted my girlfriend with a spinning hug. She got motion sickness and threw up all over me. FML
Today, because I have an inner ear problem which gives me major vertigo and nausea, I spontaneously projectile vomited all over my bathroom. FML
Today, I stayed home from work because I'd had diarrhea for 24 hours and my gut felt horrible. I decided to at least enjoy some sun on my back porch in my swing chair. I stepped on an old board and my leg fell through to the knee, I couldn't move, and I was home alone. My neighbor cut the board that got me out. FML
Today, I had awful morning sickness, and I asked my husband if he'd get me a drink while I went to the bathroom. On the way back, I witnessed him spitting in the glass. FML
Today, my morning sickness was so bad that I threw up everywhere, just from thinking about the pretend meal that a kid had made for me. FML
Today, I went on a date with my boyfriend to our local park, and I playfully climbed into one of the baby swings. I planned on having him push me, not getting stuck and having to be cut free from the seat while he laughed. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to my house for the first time. Today was also the day my body decided to throw up violently for four hours while he awkwardly sat beside me, waiting for his ride home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So was your childhood nonexistent? Or is motion sickness one of those things you can develop as an adult (assuming you're not pregnant or anything)?

Why didn't you get off after you threw up the first time? I'll bet your sex life is very dynamic ;) You probably lay there like a boat anchor to keep from puking.

What the **** is with all these assholes who think their cool thumbing a comment down just to thumb it down! That's so gay

Apparently 35 has not yet joined the world of accepting people who do not view "gay" as an insult.

There's a button for that.

I'm so glad I don't have motion sickness. My mom pretty much can't sit in the backseat of a car. Fyl, op
white16sox 19
With my motion sickness, I can't spin around in repetitive circles without throwing up, so I don't go on swings and spin the chains up. I also can't go on roller coasters.

I get motion sickness easily too. Sometimes just going on an elevator can trigger it.):

Motion sickness sucks...I can't read in cars, go on merry-go-rounds, or even go on high swings :( Roller coasters and even water slides are a big no-no, too :/

Motion sickness sucks. I get real nauseated on long car rides and I can't go on any spinning rides with an exception of the ferris wheel. I'm afraid of roller-coasters so I don't go on those and they'd probably make me sick anyway

I had motion sickness from cars (and only cars) growing up and still do even when I'm driving.

The sun burns via a series of nuclear reactions. I didn't know that was a thing when it came to religious versus scientific debate... Just wow. -.-

I'm getting woozy just reading this thread.... arggggg. Didn't know FML could trigger motion sickness, until now.

75, do you have trouble reading? Read the entire picture.

Oh goodness, I'm sorry. I could not see it well enough on my iPod. I retract my earlier statement.
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
It is sadly something you can develop with time. I used to love swings when I was a kid: the faster, the better. I would go on any roller coaster as a teenager and enjoy the craziest loops. Now the slightest motion on a swing would get me queasy.
AussieChild 22
Can't you just sit on it and not swing back and forth??
dressedskeleton 10
That could be a little difficult.... But I suppose it would make the effort you made putting it together worthwhile :)
Danny0522 8
That would defeat the purpose of sitting on a swing
AussieChild 22
How many people actually "swing" on a porch swing though... It's for the style and for comfort. Not for fun
gc327072 31
*raises hand* umm I do...

*raises hand* me too. Whats the point in having a swing if you're just gonna sit in it. They make chairs for that.
xNephilim 19
Me too! That's the whole point of having a swing. For me it's almost physically impossible NOT to swing at least a little bit while sitting on one!
deformagraphic 3
And not to mention the awkward hight to where you just barely can't touch your feet to the ground, therefore making it impossible to use a swing as a chair.

Aww FYL OP... That would be a really fun way to spend time with your husband... It sucks you spent all that time and effort building something you can't use. Maybe there is a way to stabilize it so that you can just sit there and not swing? Just an option.

Or just have sex…

you're an ass. don't make fun of people for things they can't help
sarah6786 14
I only agree with the first part. Should have gotten off the swing but to make fun because of involuntarily getting sick is just rude.

Dang guys. It was a joke not a dick. Don't take it so hard.

Don't worry Perdix.... These people must be noobs

Perdix's sense of humour isn't for the faint of heart, I suppose.

Lol @ the people butthurt over his comment. Its just a joke. C'mon son...

Maybe hubby is quick?

14, you put perdix down as one of your favourite commenters and yet you act like you don't understand his strange sense of humour? Odd!
xalba 9
His comments make my day. :)

that's gotta be some serious motion sickness. FYL OP

Damn maybe you could get some medicine or something for that motion sickness? or just sit in it don't swing back and forth.
Paco_el_Taco 17
Well, looks like its time to move that swing to the bed room....
klovely22 13
What difference would that make?
slurshies 11
this way she can throw up on their bed. it makes it that much more romantic
Myo_fml 20
16 obviously has a vomit fetish.
MrElephant 5
How romantic.

Sounds like somebody's going to have a gently used swing at a bargain price soon.
