Today, while on the train to university, I realized it was my stop and quickly stood up to get off. Or I would have, if my leg hadn't gone to sleep and caused me to fall, landing face first into the crotch of the old guy in front of me. FML
What's up with all these people who don't feel their body parts going to sleep. Usually, limbs fall asleep when they are in the same position for a while. But don't you feel when something is falling asleep??? I have never had any of my body part fall asleep without me feeling that it's happening. Then you just shift, or change your position, or move. Did you just sit there and let it fall asleep, OP? Then why were you surprised when you fell over?

I've had my leg fall asleep without realizing it before. Well, I realized it when I moved it about...ohhhhh.... A millimeter and an immense tingling pain shot through my leg.
No you don't feel it fall asleep. Usually, if you sit with a foot on the other knee or legs crossed, even for a short while, you obstruct the blood flow to your nerves. When you move (getting up to walk), the nerves, being temporarily disabled, can't feel when you touch the ground. It feels like you missed the ground when you try to walk and you tend to fall while waiting for the foot to touch. Picture one foot falling through the ice. I'll shut up now. :)
I think 33 meant that before you click/tap on an FML to read the comments, the OP's gender is not apparent and they were silently hoping they are female before they clicked.

37 I think you are really over analyzing the situation. Chill out.

I'm really hoping you meant 27 because I don't recall analyzing anything in my comment..

Anyone else silently hoping this was a female's post when they clicked on it?

Why hope? It says it right there that the poster is a female. Not sure what you mean by your post.

Who knows, it might've been hard....if it was, had to hurt like a MFer for the old man.

Or did she?

I don't know but landing on someone like that must have hurt, the old man's eye would've gotten big

Should we assume you purposely left the "eye" singular?
