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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

F both your lives for seeing such a horrific event, but the guy deserved it for jaywalking. It's not funny or cool to jaywalk, when there's a crosswalk only mere feet/meters away. I've hit two jaywalkers in the dead of night, so I know how the driver feels.

Maybe you should not be driving, if you've hit two people. You're supposed to pay attention to the road. Unless they jumped out right in front of you, there is no excuse to hit someone.

#30, how do you conclude that he shouldn't be driving because of that? I'm assuming it's not his fault because it was dead of night, and the people he hit were jaywalking. Most of the time, in those cases, drivers can't see the people til it's too late, especially since the majority of people usually don't dress in the proper attired to make themselves visible at night.

The scumbag shouldn't be driving based solely on the fact that he thinks someone deserves to have possibly been killed just because they crossed the street incorrectly. Also wouldn't surprise me if he hit those people as a result of excessive speeding and the jaywalkers misjudged how quickly he would get to them.

They *deserve* it for jaywalking? I hope you don't ever emigrate to England, because the culture and law here is to cross wherever you like. So I am really confused at this entire thing.

And this is the danger of jaywalking- thank you OP for teaching an important lesson.

I swear the people in my state are the worst when it comes to not using crosswalks. I see people cross busy intersections in a completely unsafe way (with kids sometimes) when there's a damn crosswalk maybe twenty feet away.

bet she won't jaywalk though

Never let a good tragedy go to waste! It'll be a great learning opportunity to stop, look, and listen before crossing at designated crosswalks!

Don't worry, I watched someone's head get taken off by a car in front of me when I was 4... After a little while they'll completely have forgotten everything about it

Doesn't seem like you forgot about it...

She'll be ok as long as you didn't over react. That's what really traumatizes kids. When they see the adults, that are supposed to be the stability in their lives loosing their shit. If you down play it like it was nothing too outside the ordinary the kid won't know that its something to be traunatized about.
