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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you got shocked (or electrocuted) than you are either an idiot who doesn't know how to change a lightbulb (tip: dont put your fingers in the socket, turn the light off.) OR your fixture is broken, and somehow sending electricity to places it doesn't belong, in which case you need to replace the fixture. I'd suggest calling an electrician, because something else is wrong, the current is too strong. There's no way you should pass out from a zap from a light fixture.

Glee is still a better show than half the crap on TV. Its quality has seriously degraded over time, though. I watch it out of addiction.. Guilty pleasure. But last night they sang Friday and I died inside. Oh, I also watch it cause Dianna Agron is beauty incarnate. OP- Couldn't you wait till the end? Everyone needed to see Rachel slapped.

I agree 2... Glee is pretty damn awesome. And please... everyone thumbs down me and talk shit. I could give a ****. Doesn't change the fact that glee is awesome and one of the most watched shows on the lineup. :)

They do if they don't turn the light off first. That's rule #1, kill all power to the device before working on it! It's common damn sense!
