Today, I almost drowned in the ocean after being sucked into a rip current. When I finally managed to make it back to shore breathless from all the energy it took to get back, I looked down and my swimming trunks were gone. I was crawling on the ground naked in front of a hundred people. FML

And by the way... This was not a FAKE experience. It scared the living shit out of me. I admit...I didn't know anything about the ocean or rip "CURRENTS" but now I do. Thank's for the knowledge guys, I've lived at the beach for 4 years and never swam in the ocean because I didn't like swimming in the ocean. Now u see why. There were NO lifeguards...This was at CAROLINA BEACH!! Just outside of Wilmington NC. If you know me, yup..I'm a dumbass for this. It's funny you say that. The water WAS murky and choppy. It ran along side a big ass pile of rocks that stretched out into the ocean. I didn't want to hit the rocks though for fear of injury. Fighting the rip current was a dumbass idea. After I ran out of energy trying to swim I just gave up and floated on my back and the waves helped push me back to shore. I really didn't give a shit about people seeing my dick. Im a sexy beast. haha

1. People shouldnt swim in the ocean unless they know whats happening in it. IE how to spot a rip current and how to get out of a rip current. Its very easy, the waves dont break very clean, the water is usually murky, and its somewhat more choppy than the rest of the water. 2. Lifeguards dont start monitoring the beach full time until like late may to june or else a lifeguard would have seen this and hurried to help. Riptides only kill people when people have absolutely no clue what they are doing, so know what you are doing while in the ocean cause its a dangerous place.

Yeah, whichever of you assholes said he deserved it for not knowing how to swim through a riptide may want to consider how you would react should you start getting pulled out to sea by a powerful current. And #33 you're an idiot. That example didn't fit the FML at all. Just be thankful you're alive, and hey, maybe some hot girls liked the goods you had on display. Could get some business in the future.

It has happened to me a bunch of times. Every time I simply swam parallel to the shore and was fine. People who dont live near the ocean should have to take a common sense course before swimming in it

At least you're still alive. And if you have a large penis, then you had NOTHING to be embarassed about.lol

@ PureGold: What i meant is that it doesn't matter how you get naked, you are still naked in front of a large group of people! And when you get that embarrased, you wish you were never born. And i guess you are right i didnt use the best example. How about this one: If you are kidnapped, drugged, raped, and then thrown out in the middle of a crowded area entirely naked, are you just happy they didn't kill you after being raped? Probably not at first. Maybe in a few years as you look back on it, you are just happy that you lived, but for a while after it happened, you are not happy you lived. And some people are saying to get over it and just be happy he lived
