Today, a man was struggling up some slippery steps with a pram when his sunglasses fell from his head. I hurried to pick them up for him, as he had no free hands, but instead accidentally stood on them, snapping them in half. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while holding some dirty glasses from my room. I ended up pulling pieces of glass from my body. Meanwhile all my mom cares about is the fact that I broke three of her favorite glasses. FML
Today, I walked into the glass door of my boss’s cabin and broke my spectacles. Thank god for a backup pair, right? Wrong. I fell down the stairs and broke them too. FML
Today, whilst babysitting, I broke a glass. I explained to the kid that it was very important not to walk barefoot around where it had happened, because of the tiny bits of glass. He jumped back, scared, and while doing so tripped. I rushed to help him and ran through the broken glass. Barefoot. FML
Today, while scrubbing my car with the foam brush at a car wash, the hose for the brush came whipping around and smacked me hard in the side of the head, knocking off my glasses. I got disoriented from the blow and stepped on my glasses, completely smashing them. FML
Today, I felt something hit my eye as I was riding on my bike. My glasses ended up falling off. I looked for them for ten minutes before giving up. I ran over them. 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 fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML
Today, my dad decided to wake me up by opening the shades and having the sun shine on my face. When he pulled them up, the metal holder on top broke off and fell on me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Here let me do it for you.... Today (some time in the last 24hrs), a man (**** sapien sapien, male) struggling (having physical difficulty) up some slippery (unable to fully grasp or purchase because of some lubricant, usually ice) steps (stairs leading to a home or abode) with a pram (baby stroller, google search About 7,720,000 results (0.13 seconds) ) dropped his sunglasses (darkened lenses placed over the eyes to minimize brightness. Sometimes used to look cool) off his head (something infrequently used by FML readers) in his struggle. I hurried (moved quickly towards) to pick them up for him as he had no free (he paid for them, so they're not free, but most likely his hands were occupied doing something else) hands, and instead stood on them and snapped them in half (he broke them). Just because you are not familiar with every single variant of the english language doesn't mean OP has to spell everything out for you. In Austrailia, I showed up for Shrimp on the Barbie with a small guy humping a barbie doll and was promptly tossed out.

Just to do a little research, I timed how long it would take me to type in "WTF is a pram?". Then I timed how long it took me to type "pram" into google so I could see hundreds of pictures of prams. WTF is a pram: 0.9 seconds pram: 0.2 seconds I do this research for you because I care.

Let me be the first to congratulate you on helping stop this plague spreading across the world. I have discovered that an alien race are trying to gain control of our minds through sunglasses. Please if you have sunglasses do what this brave Emily has done. Till next time, good bye and remember sunglasses kill

You meant well. You tried to do good, but broke something. If the guy was still pissed, he should've been happy someone was coming to his aid.

A good FML doesn't require research. We don't come here to do homework.
DocBastard 40
Insomnia, you do it well. BisFitty, if taking one second out of your life to type "pram" into google constitutes homework for you, then I feel sorry for your teachers. 1+3=? "omg maths again? Srsly, wen will i eva use THAT agin? looooooooool"
thatonename 7
sorry doc but I have to poo t this out. how long did it take to write your mini-rant? how long would it have taken to write one sentence explaining what a pram is? why do you have to be a dick and not just impart some of your vast knowledge on the poor soul?
DocBastard 40
Oh thatonename, how foolish and naive you are. Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. I'm trying to teach these people to fish. I truly care, I do.
thatonename 7
I suppose I can see the merit in that. I just hope you have a lot of worms if you truly wish to teach the rabble that flocks to fml how to fish...
RedPillSucks 33
If DocBastard is a dick for trying to point out how people can (or fail to) educate themselves instead of relying on others to spoon feed them, then I'd say that Doc is one well hung bastard. You go Doc.....
thatonename 7
red pill. asking those who are more intelligent than you would still be educating yourself. all be it a lazy way, it's still trying to educate themselves. the only way to fail would be not knowing the meaning and just moving on. in short. doc's reasoning is much better than yours personally.

It took you 0.9 seconds to type that out? Pfft, slowpoke. You don't have to be a condescending prick bro ;D I can use big words too :) This IS his life #41

oh for feck sake, its a buggie
sccrismyantidrg 4
Why would you ask what a pram is here, then wait, then keep checking back here to see if your question was answered? Doc is right; It would have taken you a second to type it into Google, which I know you could probably access from your phone, and figure it out instantly, instead of waiting all day for an answer.
rallets 23
^ its a little insect and none of this was needed. all they could have said was "a pram is a stroller, buggy, etc." and that would have been the end of that. but instead, they choose to act like they're better than everyone

Teach a man how to make a fire and he'll be warm for a little while. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.
rallets 23
what was all the f's about? and when have i acted like im better than anyone?
DocBastard 40
How about right ******* now, you goddamed troll? I don't act like I'm better than anyone, though it would be easy for me compared to some (I won't mention names, but one of them starts with "R" and rhymes with "rallets"). I already explained why I chose not to answer the question, but if you didn't bother to read the thread before making your stupid comment, then I choose not to repeat myself.
rallets 23
umm... lolwut? dude, close the thesaurus and tell me what the hell youre talking about what fact? im not denying im acting like a dick, im doing it on purpose ;D gotcha mad bro?
rallets 23
im not acting like im better than anyone.. idk where you all got that from.. ? so you didnt choose to answer the question with one sentence but you choose to write essay after essay explaining why you didnt want to answer the question im just trying to save you time dude #84 im doing both :)
DocBastard 40
Yeah, thanks for thinking about me and my time budgeting, but I'm just fine without your advice, trust me.
rallets 23
oook just trying to help out bro KaySL you can stop with the big words too. you dont have to try so hard :D

Yes, like ^they said it's a stroller. Pram is short for perambulator, so now you know.

Susieee_Q 9
Doc is right. If you can't see why, that just shows your ignorance. You're the kind of person who would ask a stupid question on a site like this. Don't know something? The Internet goes further than telling you about other people's misfortunes. It's time you discover that.

Everyone, an effing pram is a stroller that looks like one they would use in the old days. Now DocBastard can stop being an asshole and get a life.

Are you just lonely and needed some attention? Cause that's doesn't really have anything to do with your life, or you whatsoever.

a Pram is a baby stroller. like the ones where the baby faces you while you walk and is laying down. Occasionally used as a general term for a stroller in some places.
cptmorgan15 2
Pretty funny, mostly cause it's true.
leedivinchi 0
Hey Yoda, why don't you talking ******* straight instead of acting like a dipshit to Claymason. Use a vocabulary that suits you, use the proper grammar that suits you. Putting a sentence in proper English order isn't that hard is it?
Jackmangold 0
he wasn't yelling at him. he was just like it's no use dude, people these days... he was sympathizing with clay, not being a dick
Nychthemeron 2
Why don't you talking ******* straight? Good God, you need to get your act together more than he does. Oh, for the record, commas are also /really/ useful in not looking like you're challenged, especially when insulting the other guy's grammar.
DocBastard 40
Triumvirate, don't be too harsh on the kid. Look, he's only 14, and I'm sure he feels all big and bad cursing at an adult like that. Besides, he's probably overdue for a spanking. Where the **** are LingLing and KaySL when you need them?
JenL_fml 7
#47 It's called inversion, you dimwit. Learn to mix it up a little, huh? And when you're trying to insult people, make sure your own grammar is better, yeah? Cause his is better than yours.

ur a ******* retard proper English is dead when have u last seen or done a text or email properly
DocBastard 40
Ishida, read this carefully: proper English is only dead for those who choose not to use it. The rest of us intelligent proper English-using folks will be happy to tell you txt-speaking bottom dwellers that we do, in fact, want fries with that.

Doc, you rule!
Kaneila0517 0
ishida the last time I used proper English well just right now. matter of fact I use it everyday... I guess proper English is dead for some stupid people.

Now the babby has to go hungry because Papa has the spend the food money on new sunglasses. You can't expect Papa to go around town not looking cool, can you?
Sirin_fml 47
You're either trolling, or hopelessly ignorant. Maybe you should read a dictionary at some point in your life, or use a search engine, if you don't understand a word's meaning. Please either get off your arse and make an effort, or shut it and stop wasting space in the comments section. Oh, and the same goes to you, BisFitty.

I think perdix is being witty, making the connection of the bad grammar in his comment with the vanity of the man spending money on new sunglasses when he has a baby

Again, we do not come to this site to do research. A good FML includes all necessary info.

A good English speaker understands all dialects. Since "Pram" is British English, where English originated, i believe you deserve to have to research. I got like 10 people calling me stupid when i once asked what a trapezoid was on another FML...

Good job, but there's definitely going to be someone that totally disregards the rest of the comments(as they usually do) and go on to wasting more comment space to ask the same question(s) you just answered in your very detailed and convenient explanation... Such is life... v.v
