Today, my friend spotted for me while I was lifting a barbell. He thought it would be hilarious to tickle my armpits as I lifted it all the way up. I can still taste vomit in my mouth and it hurts to breathe. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was exercising, laid on my back, lifting weights over my head. My boyfriend thought it would be funny to casually sit by my feet and suddenly tickle them mercilessly. Caught off guard, I started wiggling, laughed and dropped the weights. On my face. FML
Today, while trying to lift a weight bar at the gym, I ended up cracking my rib cage and almost passed out. My friend, who was supposed to be spotting for me, couldn't help until the last second because he'd snuck off to flirt with a pair of guys halfway across the room. FML
Today, while bench pressing at the gym, I noticed my spotter had spit hanging from his mouth right above me. When I tried to warn him about it, he ignored me and told me to finish the set. When the drool fell in my mouth, I was startled and dropped the 175 weights and bar on my chest. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in a while. I was doing upper body workouts and decided to ask a very large muscular man to spot me while I did bench presses. As he stood over me, I saw two beads of sweat roll off his nose. One hit me on the cheek. The other landed in my open mouth. FML
Today, my friend decided it was funny to burp in my face. The burp was actually vomit. We were in the food court at the mall. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I tried to bench press, my arms gave out instantly, and I ended up dropping the bar onto my chest. The dudes in the gym around me gave me the wide-eyed WTF face, while I tried to laugh it off and failed. FML
Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML
Today, at the gym I loaded way too much weight on the bench press. Halfway through my set, I got stuck with the bar on my chest, squealing like a squeezed rubber duck until a stranger rescued me. FML
Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML
Today, I sprained an arm muscle while pretending to lift weights. FML

Yes, because the absolute FIRST thought I have when I see a friend is "Oh golly, how can I injure them today?"

What the **** made him think doing that was a good idea?

dude, he can easily be banned from the gym for that crap so tell them. He should not be trusted in there after that

Anyone who has ever lifted before knows that you can get seriously injured when lifting... Sorry about the pain OP!! Hopefully your friend helps you recover and learns how to actually work out

Ouch. Be careful who you call your friends, OP. Hope you feel better soon /:

Your friend is a dick.

Well hopefully he learned the gym isn't a playground. Sorry it was at your expense, OP.

I actually wouldn't have that guy as a friend anymore. Does he not realize he could have killed you?

Oh friends what would we do without them

I don't think your friend intentionally made an attempt to injure you. Instead he didn't take into consideration the possibility of you becoming severely injured, even as irresponsible as that is, considering you both know proper lifting etiquette. It's not like he attempted murder in the first degree so don't be too hard on the guy.

Nope, be hard on him. That was stupid and could have caused serious injury. He had one job, and did the worst he could at it.

I would have straight up punched him in the mouth for doing that. Spotters are responsible for making sure you don't get injured, its not the time to screw around

This is why I have a personal trainer, and ALMOST have trouble trustung her when we do really heavy; especially on the incline legpress, when she tells me to go deeper... I'm honestly afraid of getting crushed (because we were doing almost 400 kilos one time and I needed like 5 dudes help to get it back up after going too low), even though I know it's not possible.
