Today, I competed in a Tae Kwon Do competition. I came third with my team in the sparring event. My mum said as a joke, "Were there only 3 teams?" There were. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we sparred for Tae Kwon Do. I forgot my cup, but I didn't think anyone sucked enough to hit me below the belt. Five seconds into a match, some girl knees me in the Hacky Sacks. After writhing in pain for 30 seconds, I got back up to spar. I didn't think she sucked enough to do it again. She did. FML
Today, I drove for hours to attend a martial arts tournament, and then I waited ages for it to finally start. I lost in less than a minute. FML
Today, I competed in a national championship for the sport that I play, and none of my family came to watch and support me. My wife, kids, parents, brothers and sisters - none of them. It was the only opportunity to see me compete, as I'm getting too old and have to stop now. Thanks for nothing, family. FML
Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML
Today, my whole family piled into our station wagon just to watch my mom take part in an arm wrestling contest. FML
Today, after 10 years of intense training, I earned a black belt in karate. When I told my mom, she asked how long it took me, then laughed and sarcastically remarked, "Wow. SO impressive," whilst slow-clapping. FML
Today, I got kneed in the stomach by a sixth grader. I couldn't breathe. I have a black belt in Taekwondo. FML
Today, two days before a big weight lifting competition with a $3,000 grand prize, I broke my arm. FML
Today, I was up against two others in a 120m race on my school's sports day. Unexpectedly, I heard my name being chanted from most of the classes watching and well, this made me want to win so much that I leaned forward too much whilst running and ended up tripping and rolling on the track. I heard loud sighs after. FML
Today, I was wrestling in a tournament. I was in the finals about to win when the kid threw up on me. They thought I'd hit him in the stomach hard enough to make him throw up, so they disqualified me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey. You competed. That's worthy of praise in and out of itself.

As the owner of a Taekwondo studio it always bothers me when students don't know it's all one word, not 3 words. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Why would that bother you? There are plenry of Korean romanizations that break phonetic groupings into multiple words.

It bothers me because it's what I do for a living. How would a Base Ball coach feel to see the word broken up like that? Slightly annoyed lol.

Last. You came in last. Kudos for trying though. the only form of hand to hand combat I'm good at is getting the last donut or last slice of pizza so you'd surely kick my ass.

Ouch. Sorry OP, but you'll probably laugh looking back at this. Hopefully you at least had fun!

I got the feelios. When I went to a martial arts competition when I was about twelve, I was the only one in my age and class. I spared with a guy who was older and in higher class, also the only one of his age/class; I came in second place and I only scored one of five points.

You know, it's kinda your fault for getting last place.

Once my cheer team got 2nd and i guess no one told them how many teams were participating and I ruined everyones celebration by saying there were only 2 teams so we got last.
