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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

YDI. who cares about a temporary mark? Boo hoo. When i was riding passenger in a car my face hit a windshield going 45 mph and has never looked the same since. That was devastating for a 16 year old girl. Be thankful for what you have.

#116, I'm sorry for what happened to you -- you're right, nobody should have to go through that, and it must have really sucked. It's good that you're alive. But OP didn't deserve her injury any more than you deserved your more serious one, and her marking from it isn't necessarily temporary either ("huge gash" would tend to suggest it isn't, though that may well have been an exaggeration). She should certainly be thankful for what she has -- we all should -- but I don't see why this would be a YDI situation.

A 16 year old girl isn't trying to get into a very difficult line of work. This woman was. And due to the possibility of, oh I don't know, scars, I wouldn't be surprised if her brother just screwed her chances. I feel bad for that 16 year old, but she can recover from her injuries. OP might not recover from this and get the opportunity.

Very mature, playing the "I have it worse than you, so your problems are worth less" game. As it's been said, OP doesn't deserve what happened to her, nor would anyone else! And also, anyone who has sustained even worse injuries could say the same to you; would you be okay with that since you don't have it as bad as them? I doubt it. Shit happens to everyone and everyone has a right to be upset about it, whether or not it's that bad or otherwise, but that doesn't allow us to invalidate each other's problems. If you were looking for sympathy with your post, you're sure as hell not getting it from me since you've decided to act so immature and unsympathetic.

Smashing face first into a windshield at 45 miles per hour should have left you dead. It didn't. So quit complaining about it.

116, why does she deserve it? Don't be hateful, that sucks what happened to you but OP didn't cause it so don't be bitter towards her. She is trying to be a model, of course she is gonna worry about something like this.

Why the hell have you been paying for photoshoots? They should be on a TF basis. And you would be better off working for yourself than an agency anyways. Looks like you wasted a lot of money lol.

Hope that doesn't ruin your career. My mom tried to get me to be a model when I was a toddler. First offer? Had to go on a family trip when it happened. Never got another offer.
