Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML

Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML
Today, I thought I'd be safe by looking before crossing a one way street unlike I normally do. Too bad I looked the wrong way and didn't see the car that hit me. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML
Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML
Today, I was walking from my office to the place I had parked my car, a distance of approximately three blocks. As I was about to round the last corner, I was forced to dive out of the way of a speeding car. When I looked up, I noticed that it was my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ouch that sucks

I'm sorry but I read that whole thing as "today while riding my bike I swerved into the street and got hit by a car". YDI.

How about next time, instead of rushing to be top comment, you actually put somthing funny or at very least not blatantly obvious.

#1 - *sigh* That's why it's on FML.

Reminds me of the Bad luck Brian meme.
wallandpiece 16
Good luck and bad luck aren't even real things, so this FML could have been avoided by any reasonable human being.

74- but reality is so lame. That's why there's good luck, bad luck, and karma

So you guys are telling me FML only has room for witty comments and not pointing out the obvious? Figures.
SkoomaKi 27
Saying "ouch", "that sucks" and other comments are completely useless. They do not contribute to OP or us. Wouldn't you prefer advice, witty and entertaining comments?
ya_momma 4
Lol, youre all looking into this far too much.
ya_momma 4
What does it matter if the comment is witty or not? Ignore it and move on lol.

karma ftw lmao
zachherbert 10
Exactly. Who knows what would of happened if he went under the ladder. It could of been World War III
DrDilllonReese 12
Would have* could have*
therealslim 15
It's not really karma is it? They didn't do anything bad to another person, they just weren't very aware. Ftw lmao.
happle 21
If OP was riding on the sidewalk, then it's karma because that's illegal.
Axipiter 24
Happle, I think it depends which state/province you live in. I could be wrong about the US, but in Canada it's either provincial or municipal law that determines it.

The OP deserved it, superstitious fool.

No ******* way I'm riding on the street. Give me a damn ticket for biking on the sidewalk, better than getting murdered by these shitty Utah drivers.
MDTeddy 13
Stop the bike and walk around it?

Damn that's horrible!

Nah being hit by a car is very revitalizing to the skin and body

That's basically what 1 said. And you saw what happened to him.

Hopefully your bad luck is over! Sorry, OP! :(

Stupidity*** bad luck had nothing to do with it. Op could have swerved into traffic or ridden under a ladder. Doesn't seem like a tough decision to me.
hockeyoceancity 13
21- I know the decision was simple. OP did the right thing obviously! Go under the ladder and have nothing happen to you or go in the street and get hit by a car! OP good job! You avoided years of "bad luck" by only getting hit by a car. Pshhh this is not a FML this is an amazing life experience!

Thank you sooo much for that comment. I was already losing hope that I'd find one like this.

Oh, the irony
flashback.miss 28
hehehe. It wasn't a Friday the 13th when this happened, was it? Joking aside, better to just ignore superstition and go under the ladder to avoid colliding with cars and putting yourself and others in danger.
TrueTriage 16
Do you mean that literally? The ladder may have been made of iron!

59- my birthday next year is on Friday the thirteenth. My full name is thirteen letters. I have the rarest eye condition at my age. I like to believe its not just a superstition

My thoughts exactly

Safety before luck..hope you get well soon, all the best, good luck!

Who the hell believes in 'bad luck because you walked under a ladder',c'mon people it's 2012 not 1012.
sirpantselot 22
If its truly safety before luck, shouldn't you have finished your comment with "be safe"?
zachherbert 10
Who knows, maybe you just took it the wrong way. If you went under the ladder, you would of been hit by a car, ran over by a bus, a bottle rocket shoved up your ass, and raped by a Uncle Sam looking guy screaming "Merica!" You got the easy way out, if you look at it the right way.

O______o''''' 7, how did that pop into your head?
Bearsmomma 30
Would've= would have, not would of. You've been doing it wrong. Now you know!
Inferring 7
Ouch, you should've just went under the ladder, but hey, it would've been better hitting the ladder than the car.
thePr3da1i3nrulz 4
YDI for being a dumbass and swerving onto the street over a little superstition.
YesyDidWhat 0
9- so what that still doesn't mean OP deserved to get hit by a car?!
jackassiddy 8
I know right.. I walk under ladders all the tim*gets hit by bus but somehow manages to type all this*
onlychildFTW 33
Well if you swerve onto the street where cars drive it increases the chance of getting hit by a car by a lot. OP should have either biked in the bike lane it one was present. Or the smart thing would have been to dismount and walk around with his bike.
thePr3da1i3nrulz 4
Exactly. So he also deserved it because a moving vehicle isnt exactly somthing you dont see coming so if you was that focused on a ladder and avoiding bad luck to miss a car coming toward you and swerve in front of it, well...
sheepdog_18 0
There is this little thing called look where you are going. I know bikes are really hard to stop and all so when you see a car coming clearly nothing you can do. Ydi moron!
cajekraze 7
Agreed, completely. Also OP is an ass. It is called a sidewalk, not side ride. Bikes belong in the street unless you're 5
