Today, I was woken up by the massive earthquake in Samoa. I went downstairs to discover that all the hotel staff had fled and abandoned the hotel guests. I was left to run up to higher ground on foot. It was a three hour hike. By the time I got to a safe spot, the tsunami warning was lifted. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, the workplace evacuation bell sounded. Out of panic after the recent earthquake, I ran down 21 flights of stairs, only to find out it was a false alarm. My legs are on fire, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, I had to wake up my mother as the earthquake alarm rang in my country. This is the second quake in less than a week. FML
Today, I was trying to sleep, when I felt someone rattling my bed from underneath. Petrified from shock, I lied there for what felt like hours, waiting for a murderer to spring out. I must've finally fallen asleep, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out it was a minor earthquake. FML
Today, I was woken up by a loud noise, which I thought was an earthquake. It sounded like a car had driven right into my living room. Which was exactly what it was. FML
Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML
Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
Today, someone tripped the fire alarm at the hotel I'm currently staying at while I was taking a shit. FML
Today, I woke up in a panic to what sounded like a plane about to crash into my house. I was so scared, I peed myself and passed out. It was just my cell phone vibrating under my pillow. FML
Today, I went tanning on the beach. I found a nice spot close to shore and laid there with my towel and sunglasses. A few hours later, I awoke to waves splashing at me. My towel was soaked and my sunglasses must have washed off the shore. Damn high tide. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You are a liar. If you had to hike three hours to reach a safe zone out of the tsunami's path you would have been hit by it. The tsunami hit five minutes after the quake ended.

You sir are ******* RETARDED.The earthquake hit 160 miles off the coast of Somoa.5 minutes for a tsunami to travel 160 miles?Watch the news once in a while before you say something stupid.It took the tsunami 90 minutes to hit you fucktard

so, you're upset you had to hike 3 hours to survive (which you apparently did successfully)? wow, you have it so ******* hard, don't you? i mean, so many people lost lives, children lost parents, friends lost friends, etc., but you have it so tough cos you hiked 3 hours and lived!!! if you actually are in samoa, take a good look around and look at the people mourning losses and the destruction!!!! be thankful you're alive and stop bitching!!!!!

Dear Rich Western Snob in Samoa, If you consider that hard work, maybe you shouldn't have been over there exploiting the locals in the first place. You know, the ones who died first because they didn't have the resources or necessesities to survive without relying on your filthy money?

Some of these comments make me sick. Do you realize that there WAS a tsunami on Tuesday that took many lives? Get real with your "fat people float" BS. Open your eyes to someone else's life other than your own. On the other hand - I don't think this is a FML. You're lucky to be someone who survived through everything. Big deal, a 3 mile hike? Good exercise & you're alive.

I guess it's hard to tell unless you've been there. At least you're alive, that's a good thing
