Today, after taking my little niece out onto the balcony of her family's new apartment to enjoy the view, we watched as a man jaywalked across the street down below and was run over by a car. My niece is pretty much traumatized for life now. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML
Today, carrying my 10-month old niece down the stairs, I missed a step. Protecting her on the way down, I badly sprained my right foot and snapped the ligament in my left. I now can’t walk. FML
Today, I came home to find my little sister had decided to play hopscotch under our carport. Feeling a small childish urge, I decided to hop on one leg to the front door. I tripped and fell, slicing my knee open. FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Today, I was visiting my 8-year-old nephew. He told me he learned about fire safety, so I asked him what he'd do if there were a fire right now. He pushed me out of the way and I fell, then he ran over me and out the front door, leaving me on the floor in pain. FML
Today, I was outside talking to my new neighbor. I was gesturing while talking and didn't notice the little kid riding her bike coming our way. I ended up accidentally smacking her in the face and knocking her off her bike. Apparently she's my new neighbor's daughter. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I was walking around the park with my wife. Out of nowhere, a little girl on a bicycle slammed in to me, knocking me to the ground. As I rolled over, sure that my ankle was broken, her father ran over to me. He screamed, "Watch where you're going, douchebag!" FML
Today, I was walking on a busy street. I saw this beautiful blonde walking across the street and a car was coming. I wanted to be like in the movies where the guy pushes the girl out of the way so she doesn't get hit. I accidentally pushed her the wrong way. Right into the car. FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I was at my 3 year-old niece's birthday party. I was swinging on their swing set when she walked directly into my path. I tried to jump off the swing, but I could not stop myself in time. I ended up kicking her in the face and giving her a black eye. Happy birthday! FML

And that is why you always look both ways.

He really tried to leave his mark on the world... and the pavement.

On the plus side, she will never jay-walk in her adult life.

This is WHY street corners exist. I feel bad for the guy, but that's his fault entirely.

"Today, I jay-walked the street and got ran over. Karma, eh? FML" even though almost everyone jaywalks, the guy was an idiot for not checking where hes running.

The driver of that car will be traumatised too

Yep! I accidentally hit a teen on a bike because he went across the street when he didn't have a walk sign. Entirely his fault but I was so traumatized by the event I had to completely re-learn how to drive because of the panic attacks and somewhat PTSD I had while driving afterwards. It took about 6 months before I would even touch the wheel again. I can't imagine what I would have been like had he been hurt even more than he was. Look after yourself too, OP. Seeing stuff like that cause really leave a mark on you emotionally.

Maybe use that as a teaching lesson for your niece and explain that is why it is important to look both ways when crossing the road and to use crosswalks. Do you know if the guy is just injured or was killed?

The man was an idiot and got what he deserved.

The driver and jaywalker are both responsible, everyone makes mistakes

the driver no where near responsible unless he/she was speeding, or was supposed to stop, either way not their fault. as for the guy he really shouldnt be doing that. but i have to drive by a spot to get to work where people do it frequently.. these idiots walk across the street even when cars coming towards making us stop... sometimes i just wanna keep going lol
