Today, I fell off a ladder while building a shelter for one of my wife's horses. I think I broke some ribs. I absolutely hate horses. FML

Today, my parents came to visit me at the ranch I work at. They're scared to death of horses, but I was explaining how they are almost completely harmless. I was showing them how to work around the horse without getting kicked. As they relaxed, the horse kicked me. I now have a broken leg. FML

Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML

Today, I was riding a new horse when a lawnmower starting up spooked her. She jumped straight up in the air and I landed directly on the saddle horn. I can't walk or feel anything between my legs. FML

Today, my horse learned a new acrobatic trick. Unfortunately, I was still on top of him when he tried to somersault. The horse is fine. I'm in the hospital, fresh out of surgery for a broken femur. FML

Today, my dad tried to help me overcome my intense fear of horses (due to nearly being killed by one as a child) by taking me to a ranch. Within 30 minutes, a horse bit my face. FML

Today, while riding a massive draft horse, the horse thought it would be fun to walk under a very low apple tree that sat level with his back. A branch hit me and made me fall off onto a coil of barbed wire, twisting my ankle in the process. FML

Today, my horse, who has been nothing but gentle for 27 years, kicked me right in the knee on my last vacation day. It's so bad, I can hardly sleep or sit down on the toilet. Tomorrow I go back to work, which involves lots of walking, sitting down and getting back up, as well as lifting heavy stuff. FML

Today, I went horseback riding with this guy I like. I asked him to help me get on the horse. I slipped, and while trying to keep my balance, I kicked him in the face. FML

Today, I was fixing a leak in the roof. When I was climbing down the ladder, it fell, but I managed to grab the ledge of the roof. The ladder hit my wife's car, then I fell on top of the ladder. My wife came running out to ask what happened to the car. FML

You jerk! Horses rock! I've fallen off a galloping ex-racehorse (he wasn't one of the major ones,but he won a few competitions), fell UNDER him, then slid on my face for five feet while unconscious. When I woke up, I laughed about how much dirt was caked on me and petted my horse. I even let him steal some of the water they were using to wash off the cut on my shoulder. I love horses! Now that I end that rant, why the hell were you building it yourself?! Horses are expensive, and if you've got more than one, you obviously have enough money to hire someone to do it for you. And why were you on a ladder alone anyway? That's just a dumb as staring out the window at the tornado coming towards you...

yeah in in an area that is going to be made for a horse isnt the ground usually soft? not exactly the best place for a ladder.

#113 Yeah, it is. Very soft. Like, horses' hooves sink 4 inches into the ground soft. Specifically for falling riders. But it an area with a shelter it'd be a field.

Care to explain how this is the horses fault? Oh wait, it's not.

If you didn't talk to your wife about horses before she bought them, then YDI. Otherwise, I would've punched the horse in the jaw (reference)

If you "think" that you broke a rib, you didn't break any ribs. Trust me.

Right, because pain tolerance is the same across the board. My cousin broke two ribs while playing football, took a breather, and finished the game. Some people don't feel pain the same as others. Besides, it could hurt like hell but if you never broke a bone before how would you know?

Today, while on vacation, I realized my parents and grandparents had been running off and doing quite a few errands lately. After doing some sleuthing, I discovered they were taking turns having blood-curdling sex in our other hotel room down the hall. FML

Today, one of my roommates bought new cowboy boots. He insists on wearing them indoors. Every morning he paces up and down the linoleum areas of the apartment with the boots on until he absolutely has to go to work, waking us up with the clomping noises. I and my other roommate work night and graveyard shifts. FML

Today, my little sister put me in charge of keeping her fighting fish alive. It would've been an easy task if it weren't for my crazy ex-boyfriend drunkenly forcing his way into my house, vomiting into the fishbowl and killing the fish. Only ten more hours until my family gets home. FML

Today, I wouldn’t let my sister borrow my car, so she told our parents that I’m depressed and threatened to kill myself, which is a lie. My mom is on the phone to 999 trying to get me a 72-hour psychiatric hold in hospital, and every time I say it was a lie, my dad says I’m in typical denial. FML
