taob · 20 May 2012, 17:11 ·Nanning, China Careful 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 I agree, your life sucks 21 409 You deserved it 6 473 71 comments Share
Awkward · 1 February 2013, 22:53 ·Wolverhampton, United Kingdom Sorry 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.

Christine · 1 January 2026, 12:00 My finest hour 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.
