Today, for April fools I decided to set off the smoke detectors in my friend's apartment while he was sleeping and saran wrap the outside of his bedroom doorway so he would smack into it. Instead, he jumped out the window and broke his leg. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to dress in all black with a ski mask and use my spare key to break into my house as a joke. He though it was even funnier when I jumped out the window and broke my leg. FML
Today, my friends thought it'd be funny to hold lighters under the smoke alarms while I was sleeping. FML
Today, a coworker and I pulled a April Fools' prank on our boss. She "borrowed" his keys and rolled down his window. I took a car window from a scrap yard and sprinkled it on the ground near his door. His response was to kick the nearest object in anger. The nearest object happened to be my car. FML
Today, I ran into the living room when I heard the smoke alarm going off. Turns out, my friend thought it was a good idea to melt a plastic cup on my floor heater. He also thought the best way to put it out was to urinate on it. My house smells like burnt pee. FML
Today, I was having a smoke out on the balcony of my apartment. When I was walking back into the house, I walked straight into the large glass sliding door, loudly whacking it with my forehead, subsequently waking up my 2 other flatmates at 2.30am. FML
Today, my roommate played a "prank" on me. He taped a length of clear cellophane at ankle-height just outside my bedroom door, causing me to trip and faceplant the floor, and busting out a tooth. I now look like a hick, and my roommate is refusing to cover my dental bills. FML
Today, I broke my leg while trying to show my friend how I broke my other leg. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my girlfriend by showing up at her apartment early. I climbed through her bedroom window, holding flowers. I got the wrong window. Some old man screamed, hit me with a broom, and called the cops. FML
Today, my roommate thought it would be funny to throw a brick down the laundry-chute. Guess who spent the night at the hospital. FML
Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house because I knew his parents wouldn't be there. Later, I woke up in a hospital bed because his sister thought I was a burglar and tased me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

lol 8, 9 , 35 dude, FHL not yours. Youre a douche for thinking this to be a pretty good prank. What did you say to him in the ER? April...Fool's..? Now he'll sue you and stick you with the doctors bill too. And he'll say Merry Christmas when he gives the hospital bills to you. Congrats!

first of all, stop saying epic fail.it doesn't make you cool,kids.also, how did the OP deserve this? it's not cruel. it's a freak accident caused by a simple prank.there is no way the OP knew the guy would jump out of his window...

to all you people who are calling the guy who jumped out the window stupid you guys are retarded. Your sleeping and you hear your fire alarm go off of course a normal person would panic due to be woken by something that is possibly life threatening.. To the OP your a moron that prank doesn't work unless your on the first floor. P.S. to number 28 candles dont emit enough smoke to activate it, matches don't either unless its right under it, lighting i highly doubt it. Something burning on stove top or microwave both are really dangerous if he was sleeping induced panic

Yeah, seriously. To everyone who's saying it: why the hell would you jump out a window if you hear the smoke detector go off? Actually, ours goes off all the time and it usually just means dinner is ready. Even so, definitely make sure there are flames somewhere in the vicinity.

F both your lives... I can see where he's coming from... Yes, smoke detectors go off for various reasons, like if someone is cooking something; however things like this usually occur when the person is AWAKE, because the person had something to do with it. If my fire alarm went off while I was asleep I'd freak out and assume it was real too. Can't decide if this is an FYL or a YDI. But hey, pretty funny stuff.

I'm a fire fighter, and what you did was illegal by blocking a fire exit and falsely setting off smoke detectors. If your friend was a dick, he could have pressed charges, The other residents could have herd those fire detectors and thought there was a fire. BUT, It his also his fault for jumping out of a window.
