Today, I got a text message. My phone was sitting on the edge of the bed and set on vibrate, so it fell off. I reached down to grab my phone and fell off the bed. My macbook landed on top of me. I fractured my arm and broke my laptop to read a text from facebook. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, my phone started ringing in the other room. I ran to go pick it up, tripped over my coffee table which gashed my leg, and knocked over my brand new 50" LCD TV, which broke over my head. Turns out it was a wrong number. FML
Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML
Today, I got home and threw my phone onto my bed as usual. This time it bounced out the window. FML
Today, I got a text from my crush. In my clumsy attempt to quickly grab the phone, I knocked it off the kitchen counter and cracked the screen. After driving to my friend's house so I could put my sim card in her phone, I saw that the text said, "Who is this? Stop texting me." FML
Today, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I was stranded on the couch with a sleeping baby. I had my phone, but everything I wanted to do needed both hands, or sound. I was toying with my phone on my lips when someone texted me, causing the phone to vibrate my teeth, which hurt, and to avoid my baby falling, I crunched my shoulder and pulled a muscle. FML
Today, I was laying down on my couch. My friend IM's me on my laptop to watch a video. It turned out that the video was one of those scary pop up's. I got so scared I dropped my laptop. The screen had a big crack. FML
Today, I threw my brand new iPhone 4 in the air whilst laying on my bed. It came down, went through my fingers, landed on my balls, then broke on the concrete floor. FML
Today, I was sitting using my laptop, while eating a bag of Starbursts. The bag slid off the bed, so I went to catch it and in the process my knee hit my laptop, which flew off the bed onto the wooden floor, and shattered. I broke my laptop to save 11 Starbursts from falling. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yet another reason to hate facebook.

First of all: Don’t post any comments which could negatively influence on the veracity of a FML or even on the anecdote’s potential to be a FML. Don’t ruin others pleasure. [That is in the posting rules, in case you haven't read them.] Secondly, I have also done far less with a laptop than drop it from a bed to have it stop working, so that definitely could happen. And, it doesn't matter how big the fall is or how hard it is, so much as HOW they fall, so someone could very easily break their arm falling off of their bed, especially if their arm was reached out to pick up a cell phone.

Learned your lesson about using Facebook mobile? Everrthing's fine in moderation, see. This is why everyone should be a ninja. You coulda balanced on one pinky, picked up ur phone w ur foot, and caught ur macbook in ur mouth. No broken bones or comps. YDI for not being a ninja.

Next time, try setting the Macbook to the side so it DOESN'T fall off the bed. You got a text message - it'll still be there if you take an extra second for caution.

I agree with #12 and #13. laptops are unpredictable and can survive a fall from a table but crash and have the hard drive break from not moving at all ( as mine did >.< ) and have any of you watched "scarred"? 3/4 of the broken arms are from falls from the normal height of a bed. so dont go jumping to conclusions b/c something is unlikely. his/her laptop falling probably disctracted him/her from the fall so she landed akwardly and had no time to catch the laptop. and lol at #21

Serves you right for using Facebook... and buying a Mac.

macs break easily, but they're still superior in other ways without question.

#17, my thoughts exactly

Technology overload much? Why do you need facebook messages sent to your cell if your laptop is within arms reach? You're probably the kind of person that has to check their facebook/myspace/etc. 100 times a day to see if anyone noticed you. This is just sad.

Well that stinks. I agree with #15, I was just about to state that. You should set it so FB doesn't send you notifications of any kind. And sorry about your arm. Oh the irony.

wow. that sucks. my laptop fell off my bed while i was sleeping and it sucked. the screen broke and it costed me $100 to fix. i don't have a mac book so it wasn't that big of a deal. as for your arm, that sucks too. but i don't really see how it could have been that bad.
