Today, I tried to impress a group of friends by jumping a set of stairs on my skateboard. I didn't realize the ceiling dropped down towards the bottom of the stairs and knocked myself out. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, it was my first time trying to longboard. I ended up going down a steep hill and didn’t know to how stop. I wound up in the hospital with a fractured knee and bruises all over from trying to stop myself. FML
Today, I was on a friend's trampoline trying to convince my mom that trampolines are safe and we should get one. While telling her, I smashed my knee into my face. I jumped off bleeding, slipped, hit my head on the trampoline, and got knocked unconscious. FML
Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to make a grand entrance at a party by doing a backflip through the door. I misjudged the height of the door frame, crashed my shins into it, and landed on my face right on a pile of shoes by the door. The host asked if I needed an ambulance. FML
Today, after a month of things going wrong in my life and finally getting better, I woke up refreshed and ready to face the day. Then, I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, I got so drunk that I tasered myself in the balls as a joke, fell down my friend's porch stairs and rolled out into the street. FML
Today, I decided to impress my friends by doing a flip on the trampoline. What did impress them, was my lack of tears after I hit the edge of the trampoline and broke my nose. FML
Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML
Today, at a ski resort, I tried to impress an attractive girl on the slopes and failed, horribly. I ended up with a mild concussion and some serious cuts after tripping, tumbling and hitting my head against the ground. I don't think she was impressed. FML
Today, I was fooling around on the trampoline with this guy, when a bounce caused us to bang our heads together, knocking me out cold. FML

What was the best case scenario in your mind for this situation?

I'm sure your friends were impressed by your total commitment to the stunt. I'm not sure you'll survive the shenanigans needed to keep their friendship!

Missing an "I" before "tried"... More importantly, go see a doctor. If you went unconscious, you've almost 100% got a concussion as the best case scenario. Also, if you weren't wearing a helmet, you should fix that for next time you try a stunt like this.

Also the "and" should be "to". That grammar certainly makes it seem like they have a concussion.

Looking forward to seeing your "performance" on Fail Army. YDI.

If you are that unaware of your surroundings using a skateboard, maybe driving isn't for you. And, always wear a helmet.

Anything that starts with "I tried to impress a group of friends" is an automatic "YDI", especially when skateboards are involved.

Idiot skateboarder problems. You guys rate right down there with aggressive motorcyclists and bike riders.

So you deliberately did something stupid to impress friends who I assume already like you... And you didn't check out the area of your stupid stunt before doing it? You deserved it.

everytime I see, "I tried to impress..." I just know it's going to be a YDI

You know whenever an fml starts with "I tried to impress a group of friends..." that is gonna be a ydi.
