Today, I went to a gig. The drummer threw his drumsticks out at the end and I managed to catch one. With my face. Not only did I get a black eye, but the person next to me snatched the drumstick from my hands. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, the drummer from my favorite band threw a drumstick into the crowd during a concert. It hit me on the head and bounced into my friend's hands. She left with a drumstick from a band she didn't want to see in the first place. I left with a bruise. FML
Today, my band went to play a set for the first time. I'm the drummer. All was going well, and then before our first song I threw the sticks in the air, went to catch them, and one hit me right in the eye. I couldn't continue playing. Now I have to wear an eyepatch. FML
Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, while playing on stage, the singer of my band swung his microphone around, straight into my face. I now have stitches above my right eye, and a job interview in three days. FML
Today, I was at a concert and I thought the cute drummer was winking at me, so I winked back. Then I realized he was blinking sweat out his eyes. FML
Today, I was jamming out and playing some air guitar. I somehow managed to knee myself directly in my left eye socket. I now have a hideously swollen face and a black eye. When people ask me what happened, I'll be hesitant to tell the truth. FML
Today, I was singing and playing keyboards with my band on stage at a club. A drunken chick from the crowd tried to climb up onto the stage in her heels, fell, and grabbed the back of my mic stand to catch herself. And busted me in the mouth with my own microphone. Then she requested a song. FML
Today, I had my first gig with my new band. I was concentrating on my guitar during the second song when I tripped over the singer's microphone cable, hit my head on the bass drum, and blacked out. When I came to, people were applauding, apparently thinking it was part of the act. FML
Today, I was at a concert. It was dark and everyone was singing and waving their lit-up phones in the air. I was having a great time, until someone snatched my £200 phone out of my hand. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Since you managed to take the hit, OP, you deserved those drumsticks.

Stab them in the heart with it, obviously taking it too far but they won't do it again

16, I'm no psychologist, but I'm gonna say his issue is having to read stupid pointless generic "omg I'm gonna be #1" comments like 2's.

15- newsflash: You're on the Internet. People are going to make dumb comments, so stop getting angry over such pointless things. Your comment is actually pretty useless too, which is pretty ironic.

That's not irony. That'd be hypocrisy.

Well thats the price you have to pay sometimes when going to a concert

It's called hand-eye coordination. Dumb ****.

Reminds me of that video where a women took a baseball from a little girl who caught it. People are so ******* rude.
shmoooopie 29
I dont know if it was the same video but in the one I saw not only did the woman forcefully snatch the ball from the kid but her friends high fived her and cheered
mds9986 24
Yeah that's the one.

the person next to you is a convenient substitute for the drums. snatch them back and discover your talents.

That stick is worth fighting for. One does not simply get a black eye without keeping the object as a souvenir... besides it was in your hands.. technically, it is yours to keep.

You took the phrase "use your head" to literally.
