Today, I saw a fight so I went over to try and break it up. Someone thought I wanted to join in, so he gave me an unexpected whap in the happy sacks, and I also got a bloody nose for my troubles. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was walking down the street, when I saw a guy in front of me trip and fall forwards, and I quickly jumped forward to steady him. Apparently he thought he was being mugged, and threw his head backwards into my face, leaving my nose a bloody mess. FML
Today, while at a local bar, my friends and I were approached by an overly intoxicated man who asked us each politely if we wanted to fight. Thinking it was a joke, I said yes. It wasn't a joke, I now have a broken nose and a black eye. FML
Today, my boyfriend was telling me about accidentally punching his best friend in the face. As he was acting it out he ended up punching me and giving me a bloody nose. FML
Today, I saw two kids having a fistfight in the street. I ran over to stop them, and one ended up hitting me in the eye. I now have a black eye over what turned out to have been a fight over who was going to get the last slice of pizza. FML
Today, I noticed a rather small man being harassed by a rather large man, so I tried to help out and break it up. The small guy punched me in the face and said, "Mind your business!" The large guy laughed and fist-bumped him. FML
Today, what started as a family gathering turned into an all-out brawl. I saw my son’s wife punch him, so I hit her. Her mom and sister jumped me. My husband was pulling them off when the other husband thought he was attacking them and jumped in, so my son jumped in as well. We won, at least. FML
Today, I got into a nasty fight, and ended up leaving with a black eye. The fight was with a champagne bottle cork. I was opening the bottle to celebrate the New Year, at home, alone. FML
Today, I was out clubbing, when some bloke at the bar started trying to pick fights with everyone. Trying to defuse the situation with humour, I said, "I used to be a tough guy like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee." The next thing I know, I have a broken nose. FML
Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML
Today, my face got intimate with several plywood boards, and I suffered lacerations and bruising. I told my friends I got the wounds from taking a few guys down in a bar fight. Now they're dragging me out into a rough part of town to give them "muscle" while they try to score some crack. FML

Unless you job is keeping peace such as police officer teacher coach out other authority figure you did it wrong by sticking your nose where out does not belong. It getting hit was showing you where out belongs.

Dude, seriously YDI. You don't try to be bold and get in on other peoples business, you don't call balls "happy sacks", and you don't EVER yell "right" when doing anything. The way I read this FML, I got "Today I saw two or three guys fighting. Even though I've never had ANY self-defense training whatsoever, I thought I would be the "good guy" and break it up. I then yelled RIGHT, making my self sound like a goody two-shoes, marched on over, also sounding like a goody two-shoes, and without trying to figure out what the heck they were fighting about, and without talking to someone who might have helped me end this thing, I dove right in and ended up getting a bloody nose, and some aching balls." seriously you almost didn't do anything right that entire time. Here's what you messed up on: 1. Trying to break up a fight with no training 2. Yelling right 3. Marching over 4. Sounding like a goody-two shoes 5. Didn't try to get help from other people to break it up 6. Didn't figure out what they were fighting about 7. Calling balls "happy sacks" 8. And then thinking that even though you did all this wrong and walked right into whatever you got, that you would put this on FML and people would support you. Doesn't work that way dude. So 8 things wrong, and none were repeated.

When are people going to realize that "happy sacks" sounds stupid and really not funny?
natty098 2
Ok! Some people are being very rude! I agree YDI for getting into someone's business but fights shouldn't be happening and I have read some comments and they are encouraging fighting! This is not good people! I think it was 20# but someone said that "you're a mommas boy" or "I wouldn't be surprised if your name was Junior or Talbert." That is what derives me mad! ignorant people like that! Shame on you if you have commented rudely!

FYL. You were just trying to keep the peace. Forget the douches saying you deserve it because you had good intentions.

Dude, never EVER try to break up someone's fight! I have known two people personally who were killed doing that, separate occasions. One guy got knifed trying to step between two guys and the other got his neck broken in the middle of a bar fight he was trying to break up. Let the fight-happy jerks kill themselves, and not you!
