Today, someone tried to steal my backpack from the hook on the bathroom stall. Good news: they were caught off-guard by how heavy it was and dropped it. Bad news: my foot is now broken from using it to cushion the backpack's fall. FML

Op here... The only reason I saved the bag was for my laptop inside... If it were just my textbooks I wouldn't be in a boot right now. I would have let it fall. Some of these comments made me laugh though, at least something good could come out of this!

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

In chess, this is called "zugzwang," an event that is inconvenient for both parties. Sorry OP. At least your goods are safe

You must have had a lot of expensive books in that backpack. I'm trying to determine what would be more expensive, replacing the books or getting your foot treated. This FML needs some cost-benefit analysis.

For all we know, OP had expensive technology in there like a laptop. It's also basic instinct to catch things when they fall.

They could reach over the stall door. Normally, the doors aren't very tall. I'm not too abnormally tall (5'9) and my head sticks slightly over the stalls of almost every public restroom I've been in. (edit) meant to reply to 24

What the hell was in your bag, OP? A bowling ball?

That would be a little freaky to see a disembodied hand reach over a bathroom stall door. That's when you stand up pull up your pants and kick the door open into their face
