Today, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML
Today, I was walking next to this building that was getting renovated, and read a sign that said "Watch out for falling debris at all times." While I was watching out for debris, I fell down a staircase. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML
Today, I slipped while getting off a bus and caught myself dramatically on the handrail. As I spun around like a stripper, the bus driver stared as if I’d performed a stunt. I nodded like it was planned and walked away, limping slightly. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs. The guy behind me was kind enough to ask if I was okay. He then called his friends over so they could laugh at me. FML
Today, my roommate texted me and warned me to be careful on the stairs leading to our place because they were icy. I got the message. After I fell down an entire flight of stone stairs. FML
Today, I was getting ready for school and stepped out on my porch to go wait for the bus. I literally said out loud, “Today is gonna be a good day.” I took one step and fell all the way down the stairs. FML
Today, with a single misstep, I managed to send myself and several others tumbling down a stairwell at work. An ambulance ended up having to be called for one lady. FML
Today, I was in a public restroom and slipped on some soap on the floor while I was washing my hands. As I fell, I grabbed the nearest thing to break my fall, which happened to be the hand dryer. It fell off the wall and hit me in the face. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She, female, ******, pussy, woman, girl. That symbol means it is a shawty. Therfore "his own advice" is invalid, more like "her own advice". On the other hand, your comment is correct. :)

Maybe he thought she was showing him what it would be like if he wasn't careful?

I think it would've been just as effective if you'd have just said "The feminine symbol validates this FML to have been written by a female." The rest was just unnecessary, @38 O.o

Silly OP.... It must have been looser than they thought.

Actually, I see it as a good demonstration of why the other guy should be careful.

A fall has never hurt anyone. It's just the landing that gets them. c:

Its good to take your own advice sometimes!

Yes, Alanis Morissette could've used you as a correct example of ironic situations!

54. How is my situation ironic (or even relevant) in this manner?

Maybe because of your profile pic, with a tattoo saying "no regerts"...

Ouch, sue the owners of the building?
Dimence 9
I love how the comments on this site assumes that you can sue every single shit happening in this world.

You can, it's jut usually a huge waste of money, but remember that lady who sued McDonald's for not putting a hot label on the coffee? She sure as hell profited.
Palirose 22
14, it's obviously a health hazard. The people who own the building should be taking care of it. Hello...if the up keep of the building would have been kept up. OP wouldnt have had to warn anyone of anything or get harmed themselves. Just saying.

Some dude in the States sued Wendy's because he couldn't fit in their booths. It's what works these days.

Why is 5 being thumbed down?
NoFeet 4
Yeah, one of my dads previous workers spilled McDonald's coffee all over himself and sued them because it was "too hot", and although he didn't get a ton, he definitely profited. Fricken ridiculous...

A man sued god just to show according to the law you can sue anybody
Palirose 22
33, I have no idea. Lol I would like to know why as well xD
thiscrazything 1
5 is being thumbed down because people are tired of not others taking responsibility for their own ******* actions. OP knew the rail was loose and still used it. Suing does not bring back common sense.
Palirose 22
60- the thing is OP still shouldn't have had to go through that if the owners of the building kept an up keep on the buildings health codes. If you yourself lived somewhere were the health conditions were not so safe and you got harmed or someone you loved became harmed, wether you knew about the conditions or not you would go after the owners. End of story.

How is this karma? She didn't do anything wrong to begin with.

I think the word you're looking for is "irony", not "karma".

Hope you are alright. On the good side, you showed him that you do give sound advice.
