Today, after spending a lot of money on photo shoots to build up my portfolio, I finally got an offer from a modelling agency. I ran outside to tell my parents, only for my brother to hurl an iced snowball straight into my face. I now have a huge gash over my cheek and nose. FML
Collection
Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, it snowed a lot and my friends and I went outside for a walk. Someone drove by and threw a snowball at me, hitting me square in the face. Surprised, I side-stepped only to end up losing balance and roll down a hill into a ditch full of prickly bushes. FML
Today, I finally put my Christmas lights up. In the process, a branch from the bush in my yard smacked me in the face, giving me a very noticeable scar on my nose. I have a photo session tomorrow. FML
Today, I told my mom that I wanted professional head-shots done for Christmas. When asked why, I said "I want to submit them to a modeling agency." My mom exchanged looks with my sister before laughing so hard that she wet herself. FML
Today, trying to be cute, my boyfriend threw a snowball at me. This would have been fine had it not been hard enough to break my glasses. As a college student, I have to choose between eating for the next two weeks or replacing them. FML
Today, I went sledding with my friends. I said I was tired and didn't want to go, but they press-ganged me into it. I ended up sledding right into a tree, fracturing my leg, and scraping up my entire face. FML
Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML
Today, I went snowboarding and fell backwards, hitting my head on a patch of ice. When I got home, I told my brother I thought I might have a concussion. He told me I should be a man and suck it, swiftly smacking my head, causing me to pass out. FML
Today, I was making a snowman with my little cousin. I was collecting snow just outside the house, when out of nowhere a snowball struck me in the back of the head and caused me to headbutt the wall. I woke up a short while later to a medic telling me I had a nasty concussion. Thanks, cousin. FML
Today, my boyfriend was buying a new hockey stick; to test it out he started hitting a ball around the aisle and decided to shoot it back into its bin. Instead the ball hit me dead in the mouth, giving me a fat lip. Instead of consoling me, my boyfriend yelled "GOAL!" FML
Today, I made my first snowman ever, and then cried when my big brother kicked it to pieces. I'm 27. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Isn't that why it's on FML?

Oh, are we saying obvious things? Umm I can name a few... -We don't breathe underwater -Getting hit in the balls hurts -Ice is cold -Fire burns you -Water hydrates you -Food cures hunger

Why do people just run without paying attention? Someone needs a helmet for times like this. Or pretty much anytime they get out of bed.

#31 -- Running wasn't the problem; the brother throwing the ice ball was the problem. Are you suggesting OP (and everyone?) should go through life wearing a full-face helment in case of accidents or malice, even just to enter their own yard?

People that cannot run without getting hurt need protection. You have to pay attention to the world around you.

That's probably what the people in the WTC should've done then, huh?

You're talking like OP busted her face because she tripped on something. You need to read the FML again - her BROTHER being a total asshat is the problem, not her own clumsiness. How the hell was she supposed to expect that?

50 - So by your logic, those who get shot are at fault for not running well enough? Sounds pretty ******* stupid to me.

Wow. Hopefully they take you back by the time you're healed?

That's what photoshop is for.

It's not really that simple. The agency would have to pay someone to do the photoshopping, and why do that when they can hire someone else who doesn't need it? Once it heals up it probably won't be as hard to cover, but for now, an open cut is probably a deal breaker for poor OP getting this job.

#40, on the one hand, sure. But think of it this way: One's face is a prime asset in a modeling career. If OP were, say, an athlete whose knee was injured by the ice ball, or an aspiring surgeon or electrician or massage therapist or whatever whose hand was damaged by it, would you disparage their reaction? This injury is a setback for a career in which she's already invested a lot.

Plot your revenge make something hit him in the nono area so hard he will never do something like that again. and this is coming from a guy so you have permission to do so.
SHAMUS_the_WITTY 18
Saying "nono area" entails immediate revocation of ones man card . Sorry OP, you don't have permission after all.
