Today, I fell over a wet floor sign warning you not to fall over. The irony hurt more than the fall. FML

Today, I slipped on a wet floor at the supermarket and busted my nose. It wouldn't be as embarrassing if I hadn't missed the "CAUTION: WET FLOOR" sign that I'd put there myself just 30 minutes earlier. FML

Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML

Watch your step
Today, I was walking next to this building that was getting renovated, and read a sign that said "Watch out for falling debris at all times." While I was watching out for debris, I fell down a staircase. FML

A bit late for that
Today, I slipped on the wet floor of a café, spilled coffee all over myself, and fell flat on my back. The barista ran over, not to help me, but to put up a bright yellow “Caution: Wet Floor” sign next to me while I was still laying there. FML

But what hurt the most was when the video of the fall, titled "Check out this moron!" went viral on YouTube.

I don't think the fall hurt as much as the sudden stop at the end did.

Meh, several times I've falled over a step because I've been too busy reading the sign that says "please mind the step." England's health and safety laws suck, but at least it provides intertainment for onlookers......... >_>

YDI if the slippery floor warned you about that sign.

That's not irony. That's stupidity, or carelessness. It'd be ironic if the cleaner who had put out the "wet floor" sign had slipped over. Or if you were the one who had wet the floor.

Actually, it is, for once, irony. It was a sign specifically created to prevent you from falling, and it instead CAUSED someone to fall. That's irony by definition. The exact opposite of what you would expect. Why is it when someone FINALLY gets irony correct, THEN the people come out of the woodwork and say that it is not irony? There are plenty of examples on here of not-irony. Go tease them.
