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.

Holy shit, I just went through almost the exact same thing as you a week ago. Physics - same project, and everything. Toothpicks, and glue only. What are the chances? :) But, I was desperate enough to win in my period, so I became over-confident and pre-tested my container. The egg survived, the container...not so much. :( And I didn't have enough time to rebuild the crushed parts on the bottom-left for the next morning. But, dear god. What is with all of the retards on FML. He said the only materials allowed were toothpicks and glue. Honestly, we don't care or give a **** how special you feel, or how much you want to brag about that super duper project you made in 5th grade. In the U.S. (or at least Cali, where I'm taking my physics course), Physics is typically an 11th grade class! Obviously, it's going to be plenty more complicated that your stupid elementary school project. It's already been repeated 20 times in the comments, and in the OP itself that the ONLY MATERIALS ALLOWED WERE TOOTHPICKS AND GLUE. This challenged the student to be able to calculate impact force, incorporate the velocity formula with the displacement from when its dropped, mass, and determine/ estimate how their container will protect the egg. My project also took several hours like the OP. All of you kiddies who think it's so easy, just because you attached a ******* parachute or stuck in some styrofoam around your egg in 3rd grade, GET OVER IT. 11 grade physics in comparison to you stupid elementary school project which was 10x easier. TOOTHPICKS AND GLUE ONLY, YOU ******* RETARDS. God. I'm still in disbelief how stupid so many of you are (not to mention, so many of you trying to call the OP a dumbass can't even spell, rofl. Read carefully next time.)

He is a dumbass, you dumbass. He left his shit on the floor to get stepped on by his father, so he deserves it. Also TL;DR, no one cares about your rants and butt-hurt.

You should see this as an opportunity; now you actually have a reason to kill that father of yours.

haha! wow some ppl don't know how to read. The assignment had to be done with only toothpicks and glue..not balloons or foam or anything soft. Toothpicks and glue!! haha.

it took him 10 seconds to put his foot on the floor?

I did this in HS, if u put that much work into it in the first place you did it wrong

why was it on the floor?

Exactly.
