Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML
Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster. Once we were near the top, it malfunctioned, causing it to stop, and we all had to get out and climb back down. My girlfriend laughed at me for how scared I was. FML
Today, the rollercoaster I was on stuck upside down for a few minutes. I shat myself in terror. Then, gravity took effect. FML
Today, I went to the Grand Canyon with my family. Also today, I found out that I have a crippling fear of heights. My family left me on a ledge hyperventilating and having a mental breakdown, while they hiked for another 2 hours. They won't stop telling me how pretty it was and what I missed. FML
Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time in years. Almost immediately, I realized that my shorts were no match for the forces of gravity. I spent the rest of the ride clinging to my seat for dear life while trying to subtly cover my exposed ass. FML
Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML
Today, I was on a roller coaster and this 13 year old sitting next to me was completely terrified. To cheer him up, I threw my hands in the air. While my hands were up, we hit a curve and I elbowed him in the face, making him cry. FML
Today, I tried being the 'cool parent' by taking my kids to a fancy, expensive amusement park, but ended up getting stuck on every ride and getting motion sickness. FML
Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time. I sat in the back, which was a bad idea. When it ended everyone in front of me turned around and stared. When I asked my friend what was going on, she said I had been screaming the Lord's Prayer the whole time. I hadn't even noticed. FML
Today, I embraced my inner child and went to a trampoline park with friends. I was having a blast until I attempted a somersault and ended up bouncing right into a group of screaming toddlers. I was escorted out by a concerned parent. FML

How do you get to be 45 and not discover that you fear heights?

I guess none of these people have an extreme phobia either. Everyone's scared of something. So you're afraid of heights. It's not a problem. It's just a shame you found out that way.

Wow you little ******* pussy you're a 45 year old man and afraid of a ******* FERRIS WHEEL! Go **** yourself little fag. And now I know I'm going to get attacked by flaming homosexuals for calling someone a fag that is obviously a fag, because for some reason, there are TONS more gay people on FML than any other site. FML is the only site I can call someone gay and then get attacked by 15 flaming homos.

Honestly, what kind of worthless degenerate would say something like this? All you have done is show yourself as an undeniable asshole as well as purposelessly attacking homosexuals. What is wrong with you? I sound like a confused, scum of society child.

you ass. He has a fear of heights. It's a perfectly natural thing, and it's not his fault. Oh and also you're a homophobe you jerk.

Clearly fake.

i think this is fake because it never states that this is his first ride on a ferris wheel or at any height. at 45 he probably would already know or would be able to handle it. if it's true, YDI for being a pussy. your kids will probably hate and fear ferris wheels from now on.

If they decide to lose their enjoyment for a ferris wheel because their dad doesn't like it, then he's raising sheep, not kids.

I was gonna type a trollish comment, but then I PUSSIED OUT! (LIKE A BAWSH!) Normally I would say YDI, but if you're scared of ferris wheels then that sucks. Those are the shit. FYL.

if this is real then its really not his fault that , that happend when you have a fear of something u cant control urself ad feel like ur gonna die (i have a fear of sharks so i know what it feels like) there is a chance that this is real because (although very unlikely) he could've just developed a fear of heights recently.... but i seriously doubt it also why do ppl have to say he's a pussy because he cried? if it was a women i doubt ppl would call her that as much.. do men really have to be macho to be a real man? seriously.....
