Today, thanks to my girlfriend's goddamn habit of using the stairs as storage shelves for keys, coats, shoes, dog leads, makeup, and the fucking kitchen sink, I fell down the stairs for the third time, and broke my third bone this year, and it’s only just March. That’s one bone a month. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I broke my fifth bone in three years. While I'd like say that they've all been scary, athletic injuries, most have been from attempting to do things as mundane as walking. FML
Today, I moved into a new downstairs flat. I promptly fell down said stairs. I have a broken pelvis now and can't walk or go down steps for 3 months. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs twice. I fell from the top, stopped in the middle, stood up, stepped down one more step, tripped, and fell down the rest of the stairs. FML
Today, after a month of things going wrong in my life and finally getting better, I woke up refreshed and ready to face the day. Then, I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, I tripped and fell going up the stairs, not once, but twice at work as I was leading customers through our building. I actually got bruises. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I fell, cut my hand, and needed four stitches. Yesterday, I caught a cold. Two days before that, my girlfriend broke up with me. No rest for the wicked, I guess. FML
Today, I kicked my coffee table while barefoot, got an X-ray, and I’d cracked the bone. Got home, kicked the exact same table with the exact same toe, got another X-ray, the crack is now a full-on break. What a day. FML
Today, I fell down my stairs twice after helping a senior get in her car. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You need to tell her to STOP DOING THAT. After one bone, that nonsense should've ended.

She's sees that it's dangerous and still won't clean it up and stop? Dude she's trying to take you out.

Is there room on the walls to put up shelves or hooks for all that stuff so it’s still near the stairs but not underfoot? Because from the sound of this, if this keeps going then one of these days it’s going to be your neck or skull that’s going to get broken if your wife doesn’t stop this.

Tell her outright this has to stop. Bill her for all of your medical bills until she gets it.

Get a trash bag. Tell her that from now on anytime she leaves something on the stairs you'll put it in the trash bag and put it in whatever her favorite seat is in the living room. or, pick up her items and put them in some random place she has to search for them. She'll eventually get so annoyed She'll stop doing that.

Three things: 1) Is she secretly trying to cause you harm, or just careless? 2) Either way, it HAS to stop. 3) As part of the solution, maybe add some cheap shelves or hooks on the wall. And then demand that she use them.

Maybe she'll break her own bones, one day...

maybe start watching where you're going, and use the railing. it's almost impossible to change others, so change yourself

Self-project much?

Sounds like you have a calcium deficiency or something. Most people I know have never broken a bone.
