Today, I was trying to replace the lightbulb in my bedroom. Since I couldn't reach it by myself, I grabbed and stood on a chair. After I got two broken bones, and had stitches in my forehead, I figured that using a chair with wheels probably wasn't the best idea after all. 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 went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML

Today, I was cleaning my room and set my burnt out light bulb on my computer chair without any second thought. Later, I sat on the chair, the light bulb shattered and I got a huge gash on my butt. FML

Today, I fell off my desk chair. Why? I failed to notice that the screws I'd been finding on the floor around my room for the past few months belonged to said chair. FML

Today, I managed to fracture my shoulder blade and dislocate my shoulder, just by falling off a deckchair. FML

Today, I sat on the toilet and fell off as the broken toilet seat slid off. As I fell, I grabbed the light cord in an effort to stop myself, and pulled it out of the ceiling. Now I can't use the toilet, and have to shower in the dark. FML

Today, I was at a party, and I sat down on a chair. While conversing with friends, I shifted places on the chair, and broke it. Embarrassed, I then stood up and change chairs. After moving to the next chair, I broke that one too. FML

Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML

Smooth sailing

Today, I was messing around in computer class when somebody called my name from the hall. Trying to be smooth, I tried rolling my chair backwards out into the hall. The wheels wasted no time jamming and sending me crashing face-first into the floor in front of everyone. FML

did no one ever read you that book about the cop who stands on a swiveled chair? then he gets a dog to teach him safety lessons? I think it's called "never stand on a swiveled chair" (swiveled means spins or has wheels)

It's NOT a good idea? Not only do you deserve it for thinking you could stand on a chair with wheels in the first place to change a light bulb, but you also deserve it because it took you breaking two bones and some stitches for you to realize it wasn't a good idea. So in conclusion to my sarcastic rant, YDI OP. Perhaps the next time you need to change a light bulb you should use a chair that folds. Now that is a good idea...by your standards anyway. Break a leg :)

Yeah, in my dorm I only have an office chair with wheels, and a set of folding chairs, no other chairs or ladders... So I always stand on either of those to replace light bulbs, fix my curtains, open my top window etc. So far, so good ;) *knocks on wood*
