Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while walking to work, I sneezed so violently that I slipped on a patch of ice and hit the ground hard, badly spraining my shoulder. I lay there in agony as a pair of bystanders just stood there, laughing their asses off. FML
Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML
Today, it snowed a lot and my friends and I went outside for a walk. Someone drove by and threw a snowball at me, hitting me square in the face. Surprised, I side-stepped only to end up losing balance and roll down a hill into a ditch full of prickly bushes. FML
Today, I was walking home from work, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. I clambered back to my feet, made it three feet, then slipped and fell again. A guy who'd witnessed the whole thing stuck his head out of his car window and yelled "Dumbasssssss!" FML
Today, I went sledding with my friends. I said I was tired and didn't want to go, but they press-ganged me into it. I ended up sledding right into a tree, fracturing my leg, and scraping up my entire face. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, it was very windy and snowy and the neighborhood's garbage cans were blowing everywhere. I had already brought mine in and I saw my neighbor's being blown away. Thinking I'd be nice, I went out to pick it up. Just before I could however, the wind smashed it into me and I fell on the ice. FML
Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML
Today, I braved the winter weather conditions to get to a clinic for a prescription anti-diarrhea medication. When I arrived to find it closed, I turned around to walk to my car where I slipped on the ice. The impact made me simultaneously bruise my elbow and shit myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Yeah #19 you never know. A few years ago I read a story in the paper about a woman who had fallen out and not one of the people sitting near her or walking by bothered to help her for hours. A nurse later walked by and got help but by then the woman was dead. It was caught on film by a security camera. Sad shit.

It's a psychological concept known as the Bystander Effect. It has been shown time and time again that the more people are present when someone is in danger, the LESS likely people are to help. This happens over and over again, and during more serious instances. 10 people heard a beating and sexual assault and no one called for help -> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/24/national/main3200634.shtml?source=RSSattr=U.S._3200634 There's also the famous instance mentioned in 'Boondock Saints' of Kitty Genovese, who was stabbed to death and raped while bleeding to death. Approximately a dozen people saw or heard portions of the attack. However, the police were not actually called until after the attack, and she died en route to the hospital. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/24/national/main3200634.shtml?source=RSSattr=U.S._3200634 Here's one more...http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/10/outrage-over-gang-rape-of-15yearold-girl-witnesses-by-as-many-as-20-people.html

So uhm yeah maybe you should know your shit before you call fake. If people don't call 911 when they see people being beaten or raped or stabbed, do you really think people would help someone who fell in the street?

The Genovese story is just terrible. And the ****** is still alive. Anyway, Op. That sucks. People should at least call for help. Its so stupid.

#23 I think I remember that. And wasn't it in the waiting room at a hospital or something like that?

#65 Yep and not only just a hospital but a mental hospital. Terrible.

Kitty happened in a public area where people were shouting for him to leave her alone etc yet nobody did anything because everyone believed that someone else would ring the police and one man tried to go and help her but his wife stopped him for fear of his safety. Anyway I believe OP and so would anyone who had been to London. People in London would definitely drive around someone lying in the street. So I doubt it's fake. Go to London then decide to call fake.

I thought wales swim under the ice, and didn't wiggle around on top of it. How much does one have to weigh to dislocate a knee and shoulder on impact? Go eat another ten Cadbury bars to make yourself feel better. It's worked your whole life hasn't it?

I fell one day on my way home and dislocated my elbow and cracked my humorous in half just by falling on it.
WTFsGoingOn 0
10 pounds of pressure is all it takes to dislocate any joint, it only takes around 60 pounds to break a bone. Obviously both these numbers can be lower depending upon the fall and how you land. The lesson in this? Spaceghost is a ******* idiot.

Hey, I'm pretty slim, but strong, and don't have weak joints or bones. But I went snowboarding a couple years ago, and fell and twisted my ankle getting off the lift. Actually ended up breaking my ankle, getting a bone contusion, and tearing cartilage. Needed surgery to repair it, and it took a year and a half for it to heal and not discomfort me or hurt. It's all just how I fell. This situation for the OP is very possible.

first of all its whales not Wales, Wales is a country. Second of all anyone can dislocate any joint especially falling on ice. it is not dependant on weight but the force of human body hitting tarmac incased in ice. Do you live in London?, do you know what the weather is like in the UK atm? even if you do you still have no right to make a comment like you did.

That's so rude!! I'm going to laugh when ur super over weight live with ur mom even tho ur like 30 and ur only friends are ur dozens of cats!
snafu57 1
hey,spaceghost, doesn't matter the weight. just have to land on them to dislocate them.in fact, if you break your fall with your hand, it'll travel up the arm and dislocate shoulder and possibly tear rotator cuff. knees will tear the meniscus, cartilage in the knee. from an emt who's been there.

Because kids don't find pain amusing and people definitely never ignore someone hurting. Go outside and sit in the middle of the road for an hour and count how many people stop.
