Today, while at the beach, my little brother's hat blew off. I chased after it before I completely lost sight and realized I was no match for the wind. I get back and he's wearing the hat. I chased a fucking trash bag for a mile thinking it was his hat. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went off-roading with a group of people. I'd been to wearing a $250 hat while my brother was driving at least 60mph in the dirt, it flew off my head. When I returned to go retrieve it, someone had taken it. FML
Today, I went to a baseball game. It was windy, so I decided to get my hat from the car trunk. When I opened it and reached in, loose papers started flying everywhere. Panicked, my dad slammed the trunk shut on my fingers. Entering the stadium, I discovered it was free hat day. FML
Today, I lost a glove while snowboarding. I got off my board to find it, when a bunch of kids took the opportunity to kick my snowboard down the hill, while yelling "Run, Forrest, run!" as I frantically chased after it. FML
Today, I went to the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML
Today, I bought a replacement ID after weeks looking for my old one and not finding it. When I got home, my brother said he'd found my ID. FML
Today, I found my missing shoe. It hit me as it fell out the tree in our front yard. FML
Today, while at a local river, I had been pulled underwater by a very fast and strong current. While fighting for my life, I had let go of my sandals so I could pull myself up. After explaining to my mom what had happened to me, her response was "YOU LOST YOUR SANDALS!?" FML
Today, I thought it'd be funny to give my younger brother a wedgie. I found the thong I thought I'd lost. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML
Today, when I went to pick my kid up from daycare, I found out that he had run away. The rest of my afternoon consisted of me screaming his name, looking for him. I then returned to the daycare center. He thought it would be funny if he hid in the trash. FML

Totally understandable op. One time the cops caught me in this other persons house. Called it breaking and entering, but honestly I just got a little turned around is all.

1.) I was by the boardwalk and my brother was near the water. 2.) The way he turned and chased after it, it looked like his hat. 3.) He is 7 years old and it was his favorite hat. 4.) The bag/hat were both the color green. 5.) The winds were at 20mph, so anything being blown that day blurred. 6.) If I was able to sprint after it for a mile, clearly i am NOT a fattie, so before you point your greasy, fat ****** finger at me, gag yourself.

Nobody "sprints" for a mile. Your story has too many holes. Fatties can do amazing things if there's a hot dog or a Klondike bar within reach. You abandoned your kid brother to chase down a 10-dollar hat? The pedos must love you. Your denial needs further proof.

Did it ever occur to you that we were there as a family? Or that I sprinted at first and then ran after that? Or that he's 7 and I love him to death so I wanted to save his hat for him? Get a life! Holy cow, you have nothing better to do but smash on others good deeds.
perdix 31
I have plenty of other things to do and I do them. Your "good deed" was just a folly. Now, that I got you to admit that you lied about sprinting a mile, I think we can help you confess the rest of your lies and exaggerations. I think I'm the good-deed doer here!

perdix is so funny

My brother is 7, the way he turned and ran after it looked like his hat from where I was standing (~100ft away). The winds were at 20 mph, so anything would have looked blurred. The fact that I could run for a mile at the beach shows that im complete opposite of a 'fattie'.

Well even though it wasn't your brothers hat that was a nice of you to look out for him like that Op, my hats off to you.

You're sweet for doing that. You should expect though that by posting on FML that you are exposing yourself to people that are here to make fun of other's misfortunes.
