Today, I was going shopping with a friend. I got up to get off the train and landed on my ass. Not only had I walked into the metal bar, I'd broken my $800 glasses, and the train doors had closed, with my friend on the other side of the doors. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML
Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. FML
Today, I walked into the glass door of my boss’s cabin and broke my spectacles. Thank god for a backup pair, right? Wrong. I fell down the stairs and broke them too. FML
Today, I went out with my best friend and her hot brother. Upon our exit out of the restaurant I walked right into the glass door and rebounded back off it. The whole restaurant was silent as I shamefully walked out only to trip on the curb outside. FML
Today, I went to pick a penny off of the ground for good luck. Someone kneed me in the butt, I fell face first and broke my glasses. FML
Today, while at the mall, I was traveling up the escalator on my way to the food court. When I neared the top, the handrail severely shocked me, causing me to drop a bag of China I had just bought, which fell to the bottom of the escalator and shattered. FML
Today, I got on the train with my bike, leaning it up against the wall. After a while, it began to slide down the wall and wobble, so I dashed out to catch it. As I ran for it, I slipped and crashed into it, knocking it into an old man and busting the rear brake. FML
Today, my boss and I were stacking boxes in the back room of the store. One of the boxes fell and hit me in the face, causing me to lose my glasses. My boss stepped on my glasses as she ran to check the box for broken merchandise, which I then had to pay for. FML
Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, while getting on the subway, I tripped over the gap between the train and the platform. My flip-flop caught on the edge, and fell into the gap. I had to walk home with one flip-flop. FML

Has anyone mentioned that $800 is a redonkulous amount to spend on glasses!!!!! *SNARK* Honestly, any name brand frame and scratch-resistant / glare-free lens combo is going to be about that much. * Shooting star flies overhead... "THE MORE YOU KNOW!" *

i beg to differ. in the UK, designer frames are about £125, scratch free coating is free, and the anti-glare is an additional £30. you should've gone to specsavers.

what you are forgetting is that the english pound dominates the aussie dollar lol, so what costs in pounds there for glasses most likely adds up to $800AUD. and people, they are most likely NOT perscription glasses, but in fact designer sunnies, she just called them glasses. you know, D&G and chanel and maybelliene and whatever.

welll, according to google, 1 British pound = 1.85676301 Australian dollars, which means £155 comes to approximately 287.65AUD.

Re #22 - NHS pays for your glasses. They don't here in Australia, so STFU. Clearly nobody here wears glasses.

@#90 you do realise that there is a criteria to be illegible for help from the NHS? so, before you tell someone to stfu, make sure you're right before, to prevent you from looking a fool. fool.

Unless you're J-Lo, why would you own $800 shades? Jackass!

$800 for prescription glasses isn't uncommon with all the hidden costs often required (so all those YDIers fixating on the price need to get over it). But in all honesty you STILL deserved it for not paying attention to where you were going. Especially since I'm also willing to bet that your friend wasn't the only one unable to disembark due to your lack of attentiveness.

$800? Daaamn, unless they were made of solid gold with diamond lenses, those are really not worth the cost.
