Today, my phone started ringing in the other room. I ran to go pick it up, tripped over my coffee table which gashed my leg, and knocked over my brand new 50" LCD TV, which broke over my head. Turns out it was a wrong number. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was lying on the sofa when the phone rang. I jumped up to answer in time. I knocked over my laptop, and kicked my guitar into a glass causing it to smash. It was a wrong number. FML
Today, I was waiting at home for a phone call. While I was in the bathroom, the phone rang. I quickly stopped my business and ran out of the bathroom with my pants round my ankles. I leaped over the couch, tripping and then stubbing my toe while hopping to the phone. It was a telemarketer. FML
Today, I was daydreaming in bed when my phone rang from across the room. I scrambled out of my covers, tripped over a pair of boots I had by the bed, and slipped on some jeans laying on the floor. Luckily, I answered my phone in time, but only to have my mom tell me to clean my room before she got home. FML
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I accidentally slammed my leg against the coffee table. It was only after I went to the bathroom a few minutes later that I realized there's now a massive gash on my upper leg. I also got in trouble for yelling, "SON OF A BITCH!" as soon as the impact occurred. FML
Today, I was walking into my living room when I slipped over the carpet, bashed my head on my glass table, and was moaning in pain on the floor. My parents came running when they heard my head bang… straight to the table, to see if there were any scratches on it. FML
Today, I was standing on a desk at work to run wiring in a suspended ceiling, since we have no ladder. My phone rang, I rushed to answer it, tripping and smashing my leg. It was my boss, calling to tell me he was bringing over a ladder. FML
Today, I stayed home, sick in bed. I had been sleeping on my arms. I got up quickly to grab the phone. My numb left arm rocketed and punched me in the (now cut) lip, which threw me off balance, making me smash my (now bloody) nose off of the headboard. It was a telemarketer. FML
Today, I went to give my boyfriend a hug and accidentally knocked his brand new phone out of his hand. The screen was broken. FML
Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML

FAIL . Couldn't you just miss the call & call them back later ?

Maybe you should sober up before running in the house.

I am also good at making up ridiculous stories such as this that never happened. Congrats on making it onto FML you lying son of a bitch!

and to think, i used to LIKE reading fmls...now they're just repeats that get slightly more overdone as newer ones are posted. BE MORE ORIGINAL, AND IF THIS REALLY HAPPENED, DON'T POST IT. come on, moderators, you pride yourselves on not posting stories that are too similar to each other!

I agree.

numbers 6&7, no the OP is not an idiot for going to pick up a phone - how did they know it wasn't a family member ringing to say someone had died or something like that? There's no way of telling it's a wrong number with Caller ID etc until you actually GET to the phone. Thus the OP is not an idiot for wanting to answer the phone. It's just unfortunate that the coffee table and 50" LCD TV got in the way. And to those who cry FAKE! and/or "it's overdone" well, a fair amount of the FMLs I've read on here seem fake or overdone, so stop whinging about it. OP, you have my sympathy. Hope you get a new TV soon.

You forgot to mention that you were 'knocked-out' like other like FMLs. I'm sure the television is under warranty, and if you can afford a 50" TV, get a ******* cell phone. Or at least a wireless one. Another thing is, how do you trip over a coffee table if you weren't attempting to hurdle it?

You're an idiot! Why rush to a call and risk hurting yourself and damaging your house? Just let it go to voice mail and if its important call them back.

Fake... you gashed your leg and broke a huge tv over your head and you're still coherent enough to post on FMylife the same day? Not likely.

Ever heard of voicemail or caller id?
