Same thing different taste

Fit as a fiddle

Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML

Today, I was sitting at the computer browsing various websites. In my attempt to scoot the chair forward, I hit my knee against the desk that my computer was on, and ended up breaking it. I literally broke my knee sitting on my ass. FML

Today, I thought my knee hurt because of over exercising in the gym. Then I remembered it was because I smacked it against my chair so hard I crumbled down and couldn't move for 5 minutes. And how I remembered? I did it again. FML

Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML

Today, I stood up at my desk and fell. I landed on the arm of my desk chair. There was a loud crack when the plastic in the chair broke. My co-workers heard. They didn't come to check on me because I didn't scream. FML

Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML

You're a natural

Today, I had a great leg workout at the gym. Instead of doing my cool down exercise at the end, I decided I wanted to do something more adventurous, like box jumps on one of those metal stools at the gym. Well, it turns out my body wasn’t ready for that. Now my shin is busted and swollen. This is my second week training. FML

Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML

Are you the same guy who borrowed his "fat friend's trousers" that ended up fitting him perfectly? (FML #76555)

Maybe that's why a desk wasn't made for a persons ass

Don't feel bad. I sat in a desk in high school civics, and the damn things broke in half, and I only weighed 90 pounds.

Ehh don't worry about it. Desks and chairs break, they're not perfect. Keep up the workouts though ^_^.

Muscles also wiegh more than fat. So, just keep excersizing, and stop sitting on desks. :P

I'm 125lbs and I have sat in many chairs that broke. It's odd. I'm sure that your work just has flimsy desks. :] Assuming that this happened at work of course.

Muscle has more weight than fat, because its denser. So you could just be gaining muscle. Dont worry about it, and just keep working. Good luck :]

Today, while showering at my boyfriend's house early this morning, I saw a huge black spider on the wall. I'm allergic to spiders, so in my disorientation I ran out of the shower screaming, slipped, sprained my wrist, and bruised my tailbone. Turns out the spider was a clump of hair. My hair. FML

Today, dealing with anxiety and depression, I finally got up the energy to bake. I chose homemade enchiladas. I then spent the whole day walking from the toilet to the nearest couch (and vice versa), feeling like my intestines were going to blow. No more enchiladas for me for a long time. FML
