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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Almost an FML,but unless your dad's Bigfoot, 200 feet tall,walks on tables or all of the above,YDI for leaving it on the floor.

Now why the hell did you leave it somewhere your pops could walk on it? @_@

YDI, You Said it was suppose to withstand 20 feet, and it broke after only 1 foot. You suck.

Why was your dad walking on the table? Or rather, why were you the numb nuts that had it on the floor?

His dad probably wanted to ''test'' if the egg would withstand his foot, right after he has seen it falling from 20 feet.

I'm trying to figure out how half of you managed to use a computer. First of all this person is most likely in high school, not elementary school, I'm pretty sure the grading standard is higher so quit trying to compare it to the project you did in second grade especial since nearly everyone of you said something about using foam when it has been stated multiple times that they could only use toothpicks and glue. Second the whole 10 seconds thing was just to make a point about the small amount of time it took their dad to ruin the project compared to how long it took to make it you really didn't need to take that part so litterally.

Exactly what I wanted to say. Apparently, most of the people replying failed the reading comprehension part of their SATs.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You took the words right out of my mouth. In agreement with this x100!

To everyone saying "YDI for leaving it on the floor": some constructions like that can't be kept anywhere BUT on the floor. People tend to use tables for EATING on and the family probably couldn't really have dinner at the table with a physics project sitting on it. Get your dad to write a note saying he broke it.

fyl. idt op deserved it. they probably took a quick break leaving the project where they worked on it and unfortunately it got stepped on. besides if the op's dad posted an fml saying he broke op's project everyone would be telling him he deserved it for not watching where he was going.

do youguys think before insulting him about leaving it on the floor that he couldve been testing it out?

Hey peoples, I don't think it takes his daddy 10 full seconds to take a step, what if his dad was walking and got his foot stuck in the project, and it took him 10 seconds to get the project off his foot, thus destroying it in 10 seconds?
