Today, I slipped on the new snow and sprained my ankle. As my mom and I were leaving the emergency room, she says, "You owe me $4 for parking," and she meant it. FML

Today, I slipped on the ice in front of my apartment, spraining my ankle and cracking a rib. While I laid on the ground immediately after, my neighbor chewed me out for saying "shit" in front of her 4-year-old on my way down. FML

Today, I slipped walking down the stairs. My mom thought I sprained my right ankle. In her haste to get me to the doctor, she grabbed me and accidentally tripped me. I broke my left ankle. The right one was fine. FML

Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML

Today, I walked out to my car to see four kids taking the hubcaps, radio, and license plates off of my truck. I chased them six blocks until I tripped and twisted my ankle. I limped back to my car and found a ticket on my windshield for $55 dollars. The reason? Missing license plates. FML

Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML

Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML

Today, I walked across my kitchen to go get my mom a blanket after she shoveled snow. I slipped and caught the kitchen chair with my side, landed on the floor and almost fracturing my knee cap. She then told me she wasn't cold. FML

Today, I was studying on a bench outside my dorm when the leg snapped. I decided to do the right thing and let administration know what happened. After assuring me it wasn't my fault, and having me fill out an incident report, they billed me $400. I can't enroll for next semester until I pay. FML

Today, I went to the emergency room for a broken collarbone. This wouldn’t be so bad if my parents hadn’t paid $20,000 for me to go to a snowboarding academy all winter. Today was day one. FML

Seriously? She can't drop four bucks on you, after you've been injured, no less? Your mom is one stingy-ass bitch.

Just shut up and pay the parking fee. It's not like you cant pay it off. Just remember this when she breaks a hip and tell her shes paying the parking fee. .__.

Why would you go to the ER for a SPRAINED ANKLE? Each time I sprained mine (I used to play soccer) we would just wrap it in a bandage we got at the grocery store and put ice on it. ******* wuss.

How is the mom mean? She indulged her whiny kid and took them to the Hospital. My mom would have told me to stay in the snow for a while and then put some tape on it.

Actually, the damage from a really bad sprain can be worse than a broken bone, and if the sprain was bad enough, maybe she didn't know whether it was broken or a sprain. I probably wouldn't have gone to the ER, but if it was bad enough (as in if the pain/swelling hadn't subsided in a few days), I would have gone to a doctor. Maybe the OP doesn't have insurance and went to the ER so she could be treated for the free?

If you are 18 or older, I don't see why your mom should get stuck with the parking fee.

Please learn to read. Read that comment again. Then read it again. Do you understand? The first words were as typed"If you are 18 or older". "If you are" clearly means he is thinking that if OP is 18 or older then he should pay for the parking fee. He wasnt implying or suggesting anything. There you go. B-D

The OP is stingy. It's either you or the snow, OP! And I don't think the snow is gonna pay up!! Thank your mom for covering the gas, and quite whining. YLI[not]F.

The gas and the bill the ER is going to send them. Last time I went to the ER (blacked out, subclinical infection, potassium deficiency) I treated the chick who drove to dinner (mostly because the ER refused to give me any food in case I had hit my head.....)

ice it and stay off of it for a week or two,. the hospital cant do anything for a sprained ankle exept tell you common knowledge about careing for said ankle.

How often does she have to take you anyway? I know someone who turns her ankle every year. Even so, she strikes her feet on the ground/floor like she trying to break her feet. She also talks loud.

On one hand, it might not be your fault you sprained your ankle. On the other hand, she shouldn't have to pay for your mistake, and $4 isn't much to gripe about compared to what somebody's going to have to pay to get things put back into place.

Yes, she really SHOULD have to pay for the mistake. It's part of being a parent- you take care of the child when it's injured. Have a problem with that? Don't have kids.
