Love: Today, I was walking down the street with my friend, one I walk...

Today, I was walking down the street with my friend, one I walk down every day, and I saw a really cute guy nearby. I felt like I looked better than usual, so I turned my head to offer a smile, and walked right into a pole. The impact was strong enough to send me falling to the floor. FML

Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML

Today, I was walking with my boyfriend down the street and a really hot guy walked past with no shirt on. While distracted by his hardened stomach muscles, I promptly walked into a pole, then became single. FML

Today, I went to the mall and saw a really cute guy. I acted all cool and started doing a sexy hair flip. On the way back up from my hair flip I hit my head on a cellphone stand. FML

Today, I tried to "trip" and fall into this guy I've had a crush on. I missed and fell on my face. He stepped over me and kept walking. FML

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, I was riding my bike home from the store. Wanting to impress some passers-by, I tried to do a trick on a sharp turn. I hit a pole with my balls. As I was lying on the ground in agony, a guy pulled over, took a picture, and took off laughing. FML

Today, I was trying to look cute in front of this really nice guy. I sure hope he thinks smacking into a pole, rebounding backwards and knocking over an old man is cute. FML

Today, I got lunch with a girl I really like. On the way, for some idiotic reason I decided it would be a good idea to show off by jumping up to high-five the red hand on a traffic sign. I ended up slipping and slamming full-force into the pole. I now have a bruise on my face. FML

Today, I saw my crush walking on the other side of the street. She hadn't noticed me, so when she did I nonchalantly looked over and casually waved to look cool. I then walked right into a lamp post. FML

Today, I was riding my long board. A few feet from me an attractive girl was riding one too, in the same direction. We made eye contact right as I slammed into a light pole. She then fell because she was laughing so hard. FML

... so if you walk down this street everyday, why didn't you know about the pole?

If he didn't immediatly offer help while laughing a little, you probably shouldn't bother anyways.

...wouldn't you have been able to see how far ahead this pole was in front of you so you could realign yourself? I mean, you were able to notice a guy across the street so obviously you can see more than a foot in front of you. Or were you creepily staring at this guy for so long and ignoring everything else that it took a pole to break you out of your dream world?

haha #23 and #24....what i don't understand is how you fell on a floor walking down the street. What kind of swanky place do you live where they put flooring outdoors?

I can see myself doing the exact same thing. You get caught up in what you are doing and the fact that the guy is hot...... Could have been worse.......at least you were walking down the street instead of driving down it.

If he were a decent guy he'd come over and help you, using it as an opportunity to flirt as well as be polite. Then again, if he did that, he wouldn't be a mysterious asshole and you'd lose interest. So, lose-lose really.
