Today, I had to fake fall down the stairs so my mom would stop texting and actually pay attention to what I was saying. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I got annoyed with my mum stopping in her tracks each time she needed to reply to a text message. I tried to show her that you can walk and text at the same time. I ended up falling into a drain. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs. My mom came running from the other room because she thought it was the dog. She rolled her eyes and walked away when she saw it was me. FML

Unbelievable
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML

Use your powers wisely
Today, I jokingly told my mother to "go fall down a hole" during a mock argument we always have. Not even 10 minutes later, our basement stairs gave out. When I said that, I didn't want her to break both her arms or to actually fall into a gaping hole. FML

The great escape
Today, I had to pretend my phone was broken because my mom kept calling to ask if she could join my friends and me for karaoke night. FML

Today, I pretended to be on the phone to avoid small talk with someone from my building. I spoke loudly into the phone while walking by them. My phone rang in the middle of my fake conversation. FML

Another non-emergency
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML

Agony
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML

Evil child
Today, I tried to put the little girl I babysit in timeout for lying to me. I was about to sit her down when she made a mad dash for the basement stairs, slipped on the wood floor, and fell down them. She told her parents and everyone at the ER that I had thrown her down the stairs. FML

I don't think they may have meant that they did it on purpose, FYI. Just that they fell and then finally their mom noticed them.

Your kidding me, right? It says in the FML that she had to "FAKE" fall down the stairs. Read the posts.

Are you a retard too, Bagel? Because you should know the difference between "it's" and "its".

Did you guys also miss the misspelling of "you're"? Enough about misspellings, though. I'd rather focus on the lack of reading and comprehension skills...

y would you do that?

If you stopped being such a histrionic, attention-seeking little ****, your mother wouldn't feel the need to ignore you. Try tapping her on the shoulder and asking her politely like any civilized member of society would do, moron.

I'd say OP tried that and failed, and only threw themselves down the stairs as an absolute last resort. Hopefully.

Last resort to ***** some probably undeserved attention? K. Makes alot of sense to pretend to severely injure yourself when you want something.

Actually it doesn't seem like he's being an "historonic, attention seeking little ****" or whatever, it seems like your a mother ******* douche bag!! My mom, and I've noticed a bunch of my friends moms [I'm 16] are constantly textng away on their cell phones! it's ******* ridiculous. so maybe you should pay a little more attention to the fml that analyzing at attention seeking.

Yeah well not every mom is like yours. Some moms are very well addicted to their phone.

Dear people, Lets clear this up once and for all. When you have to put '/sarcasm' on a comment, it immediately looses all rights of being witty which is the whole purpose of being sarcastic. Also, it just defeats the whole purpose of being sarcastic if you have to tell someone you're using sarcasm all the time. Sincerely, a turtle.
