Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss yelled at me for being 3 hours late. I was late because I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. Apparently, breaking my arm is not a good enough excuse. FML
Today, I went to the hospital to get a cast that I have been wearing for the past three months removed from my wrist. Thanks to said cast, I couldn't have any summer fun at all. The doctor took a final X-ray and said, "Well look at that, your wrist wasn't fractured to begin with." FML
Today, I was walking to the bus for my first day at my new school. I tripped in the darkness and split my chin open and broke my arm. FML
Today, I broke my arm because my fucking ass friend pushed me off the stairs, and while I was in pain and was screaming, no one helped me. The worst part is that it happened at school. FML
Today, my doctor called and asked me when I could have my broken hand x-rayed again. I said the ER staff had told me it was a bad sprain over two weeks ago. I'm now in a full cast, and have to have my partially healed bones re-broken. There goes my summer. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, I fell off of the deck in my backyard, which wouldn't have been that bad if my drunk, idiot brother hadn't jumped off behind me yelling, "FINISH HIM!" while delivering a bone-crushing body slam. He is fine. I, however, am currently getting a cast for a broken arm. FML
Today, I re-dislocated my arm trying to get it out of the cast it was in because I didn't want to pay the $50 dollar fee to get it taken off. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs with a cup of coffee. It gave me burns on my arm and I sprained my wrist. FML
Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That really sucks. It's happened to me before. Ah well, life goes on.

You sure are a bastard. One would think that a cast on an arm that was only recently put on would be enough evidence.

You don't know what truancy means? Just because you didn't know this doesn't mean this is fake

Actually, you very well can get kicked out of school for truancy. I've seen it happen before.

Well, I agree with the fact that you can get one later, but generally when you break your arm, your first thought isn't "OH MAN I SHOULD CALL MY SCHOOL AND TELL THEM!" It's usually "FUUUUUCCCCK!"

Further examples of the UK's fear of and obsession with persecuting youth. So bizarre.

Why didn't you ask for a doctor's note? Just because you had a cast on your arm doesn't prove you were at the doctors that morning.

something similar happened to me but it wasn't as bad. my toe was broken and i couldn't do gym class, so i showed her my broken toe but it was still unexcused b/c i didn't have a doctors note. It was big, purple and crooked but it still didn't "prove" it was broken. so the next day i got an xray, but they mixed it up w/ someone elses and told me it wasn't broken, and it took over a week to get the xrays correct, so i got a C in gym for missing over a week of "unexcused" gym.

Just because you have a cast as evidence doesn't mean they're not going to write you up. It's more of a legal thing than anything else.... you kinda deserve it.

I'd hope you'd still have the cast on your arm. Broken bones don't magically heal in 30 minutes or however long it took you to get to school.
