Today, while hiking and wearing sandals, I stubbed my toe. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been into a cactus with 3 inch thorns. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was hiking down a steep hill, and I slipped. I instinctively grabbed the nearest object to me: a very prickly cactus. FML
Today, I was hiking, and four miles away from my car and civilization, I tripped over a rock into a cactus. I used duct tape, which ripped all the hair off my arms and legs but ignored the spikes. FML
Today, while climbing a mountain, I got to the top and then put both of my arms up in a victory kind of way only to trip on a rock and fall into a cactus plant. FML
Today, I was outside, peeing on a cactus. Then all of a sudden my dog jumped on my back, knocking me into the cactus. FML
Today, I found out what it feels like to be slapped in the face with a potted cactus. FML
Today, I rescued a cactus from a lethal fall. It thanked me with a handful of spines. FML
Today, as I got up from the couch, my computer, which was next to me, fell on to my pinky toe. It fell just so that the edge of it cut my toe open. I cursed, and hobbled toward the bathroom to get a bandage. As I'm going into the bathroom, I stub said toe on the door jamb. FML
Today, I rescheduled my doctor's appointment for a tetanus shot to go camping with my friends. While running on a path at the camp site, I stepped on a rusty nail that went right through my shoe and into my foot. Maybe I should have kept my appointment. FML
Today, I accidentally cut myself with a razor blade on my toe. Not only does it sting really badly, but it reinforces the fact that I have abnormally hairy toes that need to be shaved. FML
Today, I was at my friends' farm and we decided that we wanted to go to their old treehouse. When we got down there, it turned out my friend Cat had forgotten her shoes. Being a gentleman, I lent her my sandals. I then climbed the treehouse, fell out, and got a nail through my foot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for going hiking in sandals. They have hiking boots for a reason.

How does that even happen?! I understand stubbing your toe on furniture and whatnot... But aren't the cacti with the long needles usually really big? Regardless, as everyone has pointed out, you deserve it for hiking in inadequate footwear.

You deserved it for wearing Sandles, but maybe those were the only shoes you had so I won't judge. I voted both.

That's like having sex with a prostitute and not using a condom. It's stupid and you deserve the consequences of it.

How did you even walk out of the house in sandals without thinking, damn, I'm going hiking, on a scale of one to ten, how likely is it that I'm going to get injured in these shoes. You deserved it.

When I went to Croatia in the summer we went to a nearby island and had to hike to the beach. Took 20 mins or so. I was wearing sandal-heels coz I didn't know lol. I was too high up to stub my toe :p

You know that's why hikers usually wear boots. Hell, even a pair of sneakers can do if the terrain isn't that bad

It actually could have been worse - tiny spikes are so hard to get out...

The first thing I thought of was: How did you not see the cactus with three inch thorns? One would think that one would pay better attention while hiking in sandals.
