Today, while changing a light bulb, I was electrocuted. I screamed before I blacked out. My entire family was home and heard me scream, but didn't come and check because they were too busy watching Glee. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to hang up a light and, in my clumsiness, got shocked. My dad started screaming at me for yelling out. FML
Today, I almost burned the house down while changing a lightbulb. FML
Today, I was replacing some outlets for work and I got surprise-electrified. I threw my wire strippers in the air while yelling, "Oh fuck me." The homeowner and his 2 kids were standing 3 feet away. He was not happy. FML
Today, whilst showing my kids how to replace a light bulb safely, I gave myself and electric shock, and dropped the bulb. Twice in a row. In hindsight I should have let my husband do all the DIY-based educating, since I now have a glass shard in my big toe. FML
Today, I was moving into my new house. While trying to turn on the light in the bedroom, I realized I couldn't reach the string on the fan. I got a chair, climbed up, reached over, and fell badly. While writhing in agony on the floor, I looked over to see a light switch on the wall. FML
Today, I managed to electrocute myself on a plug socket while I was showing a group of trainee electricians how not to electrocute themselves while rewiring a plug socket. FML
Today, while showering I slipped and fell, taking down the shower curtain and smashing my head against the floor, resulting in a concussion. My family came running because of the noise and I lay naked, bleeding and concussed for few minutes before they could stop laughing enough to get me help. FML
Today, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with the lights off. It was 1AM and I'd just finished watching a scary movie so I was a little paranoid. I was about to fall asleep when an eerie light lit the room. I jumped, got tangled in the sheets, and hit my head against the bed frame. Where'd the light come from? Not a space ship. Not someone breaking in. It was my phone. FML
Today, the lights went out at the gym while I was holding a heavy bar. I tried to put it back on the rack, missed, and dropped it on my toe. Then, as I was limping around in pain, I hit my head on one of the other bars on a rack at head height. FML
Today, I was in the shops and the lights all of a sudden went out. I got really scared for no reason because it was pitch black and grabbed onto my mum's hand. When the light's got turned on I was holding on to a random guy's hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Come on no one thinks of the Big Bang Theory! The one show this is accepted for ignoring people!

Well obviously you should have been watching Glee and this wouldn't have happened.

If you were electrocuted you'd be dead. You were shocked. FYL anyway though, Glee is a load of crap.

It's true, but electrocuted sounds cooler.

If you don't know how to change the lightbulb safely, don't do it. Not sure if you can do something about your family though.

Ydi for not turning off the switch

I change light bulbs all the time without turning off the switch and never had problems. The light must have had a loose wire. But I think the point is, the OP screamed and no one came to help.

sourgirl101, that you had no accidents so far is fortunate, but it does not mean it is OK or safe. That is like saying "I run and jump between tall buildings and nothing happened to me so far". Messing with electricity while it is on is plain stupid, and you shouldn't be doing it. While rare, you also run the risk of the lightbulb exploding right there in your face- yes, it can happen. OP does deserve it for not making sure it was off, but also FHL for having a crappy family.
