Today, I had to be cut out of a baby swing by the fire department at a playground. I'm 73. FML
I agree, your life sucks 246
You deserved it 65

You're 73 and you're using FML? I wish my grandparents were this cool!

OP here. Even in my old age, I'm pretty athletic. I call myself 'spider grandma', L(laugh) O(out) L(loud) I've never been in a baby swing(they weren't invented when I was a child), and I had always been curious as to what it felt like to swing in one. It was fun for the first hour, but then the little girl that was pushing me in the swing had to go home. I waited a few hours, and then realized I couldn't get out of that darn swing! So I pressed my senior alert button, and explained my unfortunate situation to a nice man named James, who alerted my rescuers. Having an FML featured is on my bucket list, I was really hoping I'd be able to cross it off.

OP here. Honey, I'm 73. Heck, I wear a diaper! I just laughed it off, no embarrassment here!

How did you manage to climb in the swing in the first place

Why this didn't make it to the featured FML section is beyond me.

Major respect OP. That takes some talent. And the rest of you could stand to learn from your elders! :-P
