Thwack

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, in marching band, the guy in front of me backed up too far. As we turned, the back of his trombone hit mine, smashing it into my lip. I had to finish the song, all while sending blood down my horn. FML

56, you would be surprised at how smart you have to be to play an insturment. Reading music is like being able to speak another language. And judging from your unfortunate spelling, you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Go back to your video games and be a loser. At least we have talent. BAND GEEKS FOR LIFE! <3

I commend you on being hardcore, but couldn't you just fake it for the rest of the song while you recovered? Hope you tell that guy off.

Nope! Sometimes I read the end of the FML first, and I was not expecting a marching band-related story. :o

YDI because I was in the band for several years. u get hit like that u either drop out or stop playing but keep marching. U will do more damages to your instrument sending blood through it. I smell a fake FML

suck it up princess, if I had a dollar everything I hit my lip with braces on and bled into my baritone I'd be a millionaire. I hope you went home and cleaned that trombone.
