Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML
Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML
Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, I was chased out of my own house by my wife's lover's dog. FML
Today, I completed my 6-month training program for a track competition this weekend. I went to the park to run anyways because I needed some air after my boyfriend broke up with me. After one lap, my neighbor's 130 lb dog ran across the soccer field and jumped on me to say hi. My leg is broken. FML
Today, I was walking down a path in the woods behind my house when I saw a squirrel. It ran away, but little did I know it wasn't running from me, it was running from the dog that had forced Animal Control to sweep the area. I ended up with stitches in my leg. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was standing at our fence welcoming our new neighbors as they moved in. My 85-pound boxer thought it would be a good idea to start sprinting along the fence line so their dog would join in. He crashed into my right knee at full speed. I now have a sprained and/or torn MCL and PCL. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take pictures of your injury now, in case this goes to court after you've healed. As long as you have a good lawyer, you shouldn't lose. Still, FYL for the hassle and lawyer fees :

if you haven't gone to court yet, that's called strict liability and is considered a tort. you would win that court case easily.

It has been proven time and time again that tethered dogs are more likely to behave inappropriately. The majority of dog bites occur that way. In your case it sounds like the dog is lacking training but above all, he's in desperate need of socialization. Stupid people should be held responsible for neglecting their pets - don't worry, OP, you won't be the one paying the court fees.

this idiotic woman has no grounds for legal action. If anyone has grounds to sue, it would be you. You weren't trespassing on her property and she failed to properly restrain her dog, causing personal injury to you. If the **** wants to try and bring you to court, so be it. You have a winning counterclaim, she will lose.

You take her to god damn court! She will loose the dog! If a pet seriously hurts you, and it aint yours, the pet will be put down. So take your god damn neighbor to court!
