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!

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Makes me want to hang a bag with sharp, dirty needles on the purse straps onto the stall hooks when I am using the toilet. Sticky fingered assholes.

why would you want to cushion your backpacks fall? i dont think it would hurt the books

How about the laptop/tablet/iPad or any of the numerous electronics required for lecture stadium participation (remotes, clickers, etc) that crack or break very easily? I would have protected the fall if possible as well.

ouch! I hope whatever was in that book bag would have cost more to fix/repurchase than the amount to fix that foot! otherwise it was all for nothing
