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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least the part in your hand didn't get stuck up your ass. Then you would've had a bigger problem.

And how would he manage to get a chunk of handrail stuck in his ass?

*meanwhile in 'heartoflead's' mind* OP: "Excuse me sir, you should be very cautiousas to climbing up these stairs. They are very loose and perhaps some even undone, let me demonstrate. *OP proceeds to grab on to a rail and tumble down the stairs*

Well that was nice of you to show him first hand how worn down it was. I don't care what anyone says you're a good person in my book.

Agreed. OP here may have put on a demonstration (Which, by the way, I hope you're okay!), but gave a heads up to someone else so they didn't end up injured themselves.

whenever i see people warning other people about loose stuff, sharp things etc, i instantly zone out because i can see where its going. maybe OP should stop lecturing others on the dangers of life and concentrate on not injuring themselves

You're life doesn't suck. Or at least it won't when you sue them for negligence.

It sucks that the building was poorly maintained, but why the heck would you put your bodyweight on a rail you knew was unstable?
