Today, it was supposed to be my last day of work before flying off on my first foreign holiday in 4 years. Some bastard on an electric scooter ran into me at the bus stop and broke my leg so badly the doctors say I need pins and a metal cage. Waiting for surgery now. So long holiday, maybe next year, eh?

Today, I'm in hospital after having surgery for a broken leg. I’m maxed out on Endone and still in pain. Work have said that I’m on the roster next week and I’ll be fired if I’m not there. My wife said that she is going to have some "me time" for a few days when I get home from my "holiday". FML
Today, I got to Costa Rica for my first vacation in five years. I immediately rented a scooter for the week after checking into my prepaid, no refunds, hotel. On the way back from the rental agency I hit a pothole and broke my leg and ripped the skin off my foot. I'm flying home tomorrow. FML

FML
Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML

No, I doubt it. Look forward to lots of time in hospitals, physical therapy and in the legal system. Hopefully, Scooter Prick has deep pockets.

Sounds like you’ll be waiting for your next trip on pins and needles. Also, the scooter rider seems to have done a bang-up job on making sure you have a memorable 2022 without even needing to leave the country!

On the plus side, your vacation didn't cost you an arm and a leg... just a leg. That's 50% off!
