Today, I helped a guy in a flaming car by busting his window to get him out. I didn't realize until after the crash scene was cleared, that I didn't just have his blood on me, but I also had cut from the window. Round 3 of HIV testing here I come. FML

Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML

Today, I was making out with this guy when my nose started bleeding, and it got on his face. FML

Today, my buddy told me he was going to get an HIV test at the health department. Without thinking, I told him to "think positive". FML

Today, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML

Today, I was carefully drawing blood from a drunk who'd threatened to kill me if I hurt him, when another drunk behind me decided to take a piss on my leg. FML

Failed

Today, I took my driving test. Completing the test, we returned and parked at the testing facility. As my tester was complimenting me, I leaned down to wind my window up, catching my long hair in the window. Frantically thrashing, I put the car in drive and floored it into a concrete wall. FML

Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. FML

Today, I saw a homeless man on the corner, I thought I would be generous and give him some cash. I rolled down my window and waved my hand for him to come over. As he was walking over, he was struck by another car. FML

The precious truck

By Anonymous - 05/09/2021 11:00

Today, I got fired because, while responding to an emergency page for the volunteer fire department to help find a man in a field with a gunshot wound, I backed into a rock with the company truck that I drive to and from work. Nobody asked about the guy with the bullet inside him. He's OK now, in case anyone cares. FML

Honestly, good on you for helping OP. I mean it. I personally am hesitant to help people even in situations like those especially because of the things I've read on here. Downvote if you want, but I'm being honest here. Helping people lately just seems to get people in trouble. However, I'm not saying that people shouldn't help if a situation like that occurs.

FML is not real life, it focuses on a very tiny small part of life. It is rare you get in trouble for helping someone.

Didn't realize glass could infect you...

The victim’s blood could have gotten in the cut caused by the glass.

He got cut when he busted the glass. If the person he saved had a blood-borne infection, it's entirely possible OP cold contract it through the cuts on his hands.

Round 3? What have you been doing? Also, no good deed goes unpunished ... ever.

I'm going to be charitable and assume you (OP) work in emergency medicine. Maybe invest in a chain mail shirt?

I get tested after every major medical procedure. I know it’s super rare, but it’s my luck. Op, I’m sure everything will work out for you. Maybe the person you saved will release that part of their medical history so the wait isn’t as stressful.
