Today, after a fire alarm went off, everyone was going back into the building. I had never gone up the stairs before because I live on the 9th floor. As everybody was going back inside, I followed some guys right into their suite on the 1st floor, thinking it was the way to the stairs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a very nice reception at a hotel. I glanced inside the ballroom and saw that no one else was in there and, not wanting to be the first one there, I walked past and into the stairway. Turns out, I had walked into the emergency exit stairs and had to set off the alarm to get out. FML
Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML
Today, we had a fire drill in my dorm, and I live on the 7th floor of my building. They shut the elevators down and I had to walk down 14 flights of steps. I shattered my kneecap last week. They turned the alarm off when I got to the first floor. FML
Today, as I entered a stairwell, the fire alarm went off, triggering the automatic fire doors to close. The one I was walking through ran over my foot, ripping my toenail, and then smacked me in the face. FML
Today, I went to court to file a small claim and found myself at the end of a huge line. The moment I got to the front of the line, the fire alarm went off and we all had to leave the building. The moment I got outside, the alarm stopped and everybody rushed back in. I'm at the back of the line. FML
Today, the workplace evacuation bell sounded. Out of panic after the recent earthquake, I ran down 21 flights of stairs, only to find out it was a false alarm. My legs are on fire, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML
Today, I tripped while rushing to my classes. In a desperate attempt to regain my balance, I grabbed the nearest thing to me. A fire alarm. FML
Today, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This means your life is f****d for walking in a wrong door? Did you walk in on a mob hit or a major drug deal going bad or .....? Get a life-- this might be a chance to meet new people!

Please take my advice seriously: "GET A LIFE" if you felt the need to come & tell us that as an event which had ****** YOUR LIFE... then you don't have much of a life to start with. Who's approving these FMLs??

This FML is on track. Obviously, OP's life sucks so much balls that this irrelevant incident is the most significant event to occur in his/her life in, probably, the last 2 years. FYL

sounds like the start of a **** movie. seriously tho, this is hardly an FML unless you ate their food and slept in their bed before realising it wasnt your place.

And that's when the gangbang started.

I normally wouldn't criticise the standard of a FML, but seriously? "I accidentally walked in the wrong door, realised my mistake, apologised and left." That'd barely be a decent anecdote from someone you knew really well if you were having the most boring day of your life and had specifically asked them to tell you a story.

I'm thinking that the fml here isn't that the person walked into some guys suite, it's that the person has never used the stairs before... fatty...

Wait, are we all just ignoring the fact it was a fire alarm, practice or not they would have had to take the stairs to get down, so I ask how didn't you know where the stairs were?

I was wondering the same thing, but now that I think about it, they probably weren't there when the alarm went off.
