Health: Today, for April fools I decided to set off the smoke detectors...

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

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, 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

Stealth

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 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

Today, my prank backfired when the airhorn prank I set up for my dad burst and blew a hole in his office window, which also broke his laptop screen. FML

Today, for April fools my friend decided to set off my smoke detectors after he seran wrapped my door hoping I'd run into it. Instead I awoke to the alarm, freaked out and jumped out the window. I now have a broken leg. FML

... Man, I would hate you till the end of the earth if you did that to me. o____o (Hahahaha at #8) But yeah... extreme on his part to jump out a window without checking for a real fire/alternative exit... and stupid on your part for playing with a goddamn safety alarm!

@ #10: How did his friend overreact? Anyone who hears the fire detector go off would try to get out in any way possible. In one's mind, it's better to suffer a broken leg from what one could only assume was a fire instead of dying, right? So jump out the window. Idiocy was entirely on the OP's part.

Whenever I hear the fire detector go off in my house, I ignore it and keep doing whatever I was doing. 9 out of 10 times it's my dad cooking supper.

but chances are you know dinner is being cooked and so you know it's a false alarm. However, if the alarm goes off in the middle of the night, it's probably real and safer to get out of the house rather than check.
