Today, I finished up my physics project. I had to make some thing out of toothpicks and glue that will keep an egg from breaking when dropped 20 feet. It took me 10 hours to make it, but only took my dad 10 seconds to step on it and break it. It's due tomorrow. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I stayed up until 2 a.m. building my daughter's birthday present because I wanted everything to be perfect when she woke up. She opened the little oven door on the toy kitchen, and the whole thing collapsed onto the floor. I found an unopened bag of screws sitting on the table. FML
Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML
Today, I tried to make a rocket, using Diet Coke and Mentos. It worked pretty well, as both the kitchen window and my chipped tooth can testify. FML
Today, I was taking my architecture project to school. I'd spent days preparing my little model house. I stepped outside with it in my hand, and right at that moment a gust of wind ripped it away. It's currently lying in my neighbour's garden, smashed to pieces. FML
Today, halfway through assembling a toy kitchen for a birthday, I realized the instructions made no sense and half the screws looked identical. I still somehow finished it and felt triumphant until the kid opened the oven door, the whole thing tipped sideways, and I had to spend the rest of the party holding it together with one hand. FML
Today, I cracked an egg which turned out to have an extremely thin shell, so at first contact with the bowl, it came apart in my hand and the contents glooped right through my fingers, all the way down the kitchen cabinet, into a half-open drawer, as well as onto the floor and underneath the cabinet. FML
Today, I was cleaning out the garage and found one of my old science fair projects. It was disqualified for outside help and cheating. I didn't do either. FML
Today, I was finishing up my art project that was due the next day. I was really tired and fell asleep on my table. Three hours later, I woke up to find my project torn to bits. I went out and saw my cat vomiting out feathers and other materials I used for my project. FML
Today, I saw a person in my class completing a project that was due two periods later and that they had just started in the bathroom. They got a better grade than me. FML
Today, after spending 6 hours straight working on a project at school, I decided to call it a night. The instant I set foot out of the lab, the building started screaming. The maintenance guy had set the alarm without telling me. The police had to let me out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for leaving it on the floor.

FAIL people. Re-read the FML. It's for physics, and must be made of toothpicks and glue. Toothpicks and glue. Have that key fact down? Good.

Just have your dad call up the school and tell them you're sick. It'll buy you an extra day.

He did it in slow motion just to make his kid cringe for the whole destructive episode.

complete YDI fuktard. "Today, I was too stupid of an ass to keep my fragile project on a desk or table, so I put it on the floor. Someone stepped on it. Predictable. FML

Oh, I bet! And the kid just watched in terror... hah.. terror.... >:]

he could have easily left it on the floor. when your building something like that, you want all the materials where you can get them. but why would you leave it on the floor after you were done building it? good luck rebuilding it, but part of it is your own damn fault

I remember doing that project it's hard and does take awhile 10hr? yeah i think NOT come on leaving it on the floor ? your smart clap clap clap good for you!

10 hrs? really? we did this back in 5th grade- add a parachute

Toothpicks and glue. Where in that material list that you see her is allowed to use do you see a parachute? With a parachute it is easy but only Toothpicks and glue, it's a much harder project that takes much more time

WAIT a minute here. Is the egg placed inside project and then whole thing dropped or is it dropped from 20 feet onto the assignment? Because if it's the first one, how can it protect an egg if you dad can step on it and easily break it? Assuming he's not morbidly obese that is.

somebody stepping on something by accident would give more pressure than something falling from 20ft, i stepped on a controller when i was a little kid and broke the joy stick, try dropping one from 20ft and see if it breaks. simple fact is that your dad is godzilla and he wanted to reenact an episode on your project. now if your project was missing...and you see a bit of ash in its place, then your totally screwed. and 10hrs? how slow could you go? it would only take a few to glue the sticks together. well if you cant succeed with toothpicks make the whole damn thing outa glue with one toothpick in the middle. the glue itself would protect the egg, but remember to superglue the egg to your project when the teacher isnt looking.
