Today, my drunk brother thought I could withstand a metal chair being slammed across my back like on the wrestling shows. I guess he didn't know that the shows are fake. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my little brother punched me in the stomach. When I didn't flinch and he asked me why, I thought it would be funny to tell him I was Iron Man and that nothing could hurt me. Two seconds later, he took a step back and kicked me in the nuts as hard as he could. FML
Today, I fell off of the deck in my backyard, which wouldn't have been that bad if my drunk, idiot brother hadn't jumped off behind me yelling, "FINISH HIM!" while delivering a bone-crushing body slam. He is fine. I, however, am currently getting a cast for a broken arm. FML
Today, while arm wrestling with my boyfriend, I had to pretend he beat me. FML
Today, I tried to prank my brother with the butter floor prank after coming back from work. As a result, my brother stepped out of ER with an arm cast, stitches on his head and a neck collar. FML
Today, I got proof that martial arts don’t really work, I’ve supposedly worked my way up to my black belt, and I challenged my brother to a match. He floored me with one punch before I could do anything, and he only weight lifts to keep in shape, he’s never done martial arts in his life. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my friends when I tripped and a chair rolled over my foot, breaking a bone. A friend, who didn't believe me, then dogpiled on top of me and laughed as I screamed. FML
Today, I pulled a neck muscle while head-banging. I wasn't at a concert, and I'm not in a heavy metal band, but I do pretend that I am while I'm in the shower. FML
Today, my brother and I got in a fight and he told my friends that I am mentally disabled. They believed him. Apparently, "everything makes sense now." FML
Today, my brother-in-law wanted a boxing match, which was the last thing I wanted since he’s a trained boxer. The last thing I expected was to knock him out cold on my first swing. My wife is now mad at me because he’s sulking, and I “could have held back to be a good sport.” Um, what? FML
Today, I had to explain to a hospital social worker that my young son is not abused, he is just rowdy and that he knocked himself unconscious and shattered 4 teeth in a bizarre stunt involving a tree, my ironing board, a mop bucket and lots of duct tape. I'm not sure the hospital believes me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh hell yes! I used to think the shows were real back then so I tried to imitate some of the moves. Two broken arms, a broken rib, and a broken finger later, I began to suspect something was up.

You should get to know your new friend wheelchair cause it sounds like you two will be spending a lot of time together

At least now you know for certain that you're unable to withstand a metal chair being slammed across your back.

Get drunk & throw him off somewhere like they do in the ring.

tell him it didn't hurt and it's his turn now then he'll learn that wrestling is fake

Many things are fake but the chair shot parts of wrestling are real though. Those aren't fake chairs. Guess you now know how tough those guys are to take a chair shot.

They're a softer metal than anything that would really hurt though, like steel!

not fake, staged. theatrical fighting is fake. doesn't hurt. wrestling is staged. still hurts. believe me, i've taken a few chair shots, among other things (yes, in the ring). Wrestlers are (read: should be) well trained. they've built up their tolerance to pain, and know how to correctly do the dangerous moves - screw up some of those moves, and you can paralyze or kill someone. there's lots of schools around. tell your brother to find one...

the chair hurting isn't because wrestling is fake, it's because neither of you are trained to either give a chairshot or take one properly so u can still walk after getting hit.
