Today, I finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was texting while walking up the stairs to my porch. When I looked up, I saw someone standing behind the porch door, and was so scared that I fell backwards down the stairs. Turns out, it was just my reflection. FML
Today, I was on the toilet and jumped when I saw a face at the window. It was my own reflection. FML
Today, at the gym, I caught sight of myself in the mirror while lifting weights and thought, “Damn, I look good!” I smiled. Then I realized the mirror was actually a window. A group of people outside had been watching me flex with a shit-eating grin on my face for God know how long. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I was passing a building and saw a fat, ugly person inside. I started to laugh and noticed it was my reflection. FML
Today, I was doing squats at the gym. I caught my reflection in the mirror, got distracted by how awkward I looked, and lost my balance. I fell backward onto a medicine ball, rolled into another person’s legs, and took them down with me. We ended up in a sweaty heap. FML
Today, I got scared by my own leg fat. FML
Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. Feeling pumped, I grabbed what I thought was a light dumbbell. It wasn’t. I dropped it on my toe and screamed so loud that the gym bros around me stopped mid-workout to stare at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I bet realizing someone wasn't outside your window was a real weight off your shoulders.

They should probably take some time to reflect over their mistake, with a large price of chocolate cake.

I bet the price of that mistake is weighing on you now.

I see fat people.

His reflection must have been so big, he would have overwhelmed himself by his sheer size.

How dare you guys thumb me down. That was a phenomenal display of humor. Where's Perdix when you need him?

The trolls passing by have yet again taken their toll on the FML audience.

28, it was a joke. Lighten up, please.

36- Don't try and joke about thumbs. It translates terribly.

36 jokes are meant to be funny

25 Set down the viewing device. Get some warm milk. Relax. And simply not give a **** about it. Most of us don't care about the thumbs, but simply making someone smile or chuckle.

Agree with 44. I have gotten thumbed down for very well stated comments (or at least I thought they were) and thumbed up into 100's for quite a few. Doesn't make me sad/happy, either way.

A weight off his shoulders...and onto his foot.

I can't believe it took that long for someone to finish the pun!

No it turned out to be just a boo boo.

Honey boo boo?
mb2_native 15
Well it depends on the weight if it was painful or not, ya never know

No 47. 3 is just a dumbbell.

I have to admit, my heart has skipped a beat when seeing my reflection when it's dark outside.

I applaud you for the attempt, it was merely the result which was unfortunate.

OP needs to work his balls out first it seems.

Try sewing it back to your feet, then you wouldn't have to chase it

Never ending work out. I like it. Personally I think I would do well being on a treadmill with a snickers bar dangling in front of me :)
xrudeboyrock 29
I laughed way too hard at this
mb2_native 15
Yea, wasn't really thinking when I wrote my comments that day. Everyone has those days don't they? It's a learning experience not to comment when I have those days. I'm going to go back to my spinning chair. Any day is a good day with spinning chairs.

I'm sure you've seen plenty of fat people. Now get back to exercising, Cole.
MichellinMan 20
Who's Cole?

From The Sixth Sense. :)

Dumb reference.
Epsilonyx 15
It wasn't too dumb, if you noticed OP's name. But oh we'll.

*well...autocorrect.

Think...that's what the brain for.

Is that your reaction for seeing someone out your window all the time?
lilhellian 27
And you don't look physical, just a manifestation of what exists because we percieve it to exist. Mr. Darkness.

I'm a hurricane! Or a pile of shit, not sure

Keep calm and carry on

Get back to exercising so you can be strong and catch the bastard who did this to you!
