Today, I was walking down the stairs holding a glass of water, when I tripped. I don't know what hurts more, that I'm still picking glass out of my hand or that my mum is still ranting about the water I'd spilt. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I fell down the stairs while holding some dirty glasses from my room. I ended up pulling pieces of glass from my body. Meanwhile all my mom cares about is the fact that I broke three of her favorite glasses. FML
Today, I was wearing flip flops whilst putting out the trash, and was careful not to step near the broken glass surrounding the trash cans. My mother ran up to me hysterically warning me about the glass, which startled me and caused me to step on a shard, slicing my foot open. FML
Today, at a house party someone smashed and spilled their drink. In my own drunken state, I decided to get the mop as someone might fall. I then fell over it and ended up with glass in my side. FML
Today, whilst babysitting, I broke a glass. I explained to the kid that it was very important not to walk barefoot around where it had happened, because of the tiny bits of glass. He jumped back, scared, and while doing so tripped. I rushed to help him and ran through the broken glass. Barefoot. FML
Today, my mom and dad were arguing. It started getting really heated, so I tried to go break it up. But within a couple of minutes, my mom wanted to make a statement by throwing a plate to the ground, forgetting I was beside her. I now have a throbbing foot with shards of glass in it. FML
Today, my mom bumped into a table with a glass vase on it. Seeing that the vase was about to fall, I lunged to catch it. Before I got there, the vase fell and shattered, resulting in me diving into the broken shards. FML
Today, my mom said my name and startled me so badly, I jumped and dropped the glass I was holding. She still isn’t speaking to me for breaking her favorite glass. FML
Today, I don't know which is worse: my brother cramming all his sauce bottles into a fridge door shelf that exploded onto the floor when I opened the fridge, or my mother being mad at me because I was upset about slicing open my finger while cleaning up the broken glass and my hand now burns. FML
Today, I accidentally broke a vase. When I was clearing it up, I used my bare hand to sweep up the shards without thinking. I'm still fishing pieces of broken glass out of my hand. FML
Today, while waiting on tables at work, I was carrying a glass of red wine when I lost balance and spilt it everywhere. After cleaning the floor and myself up and after refilling a new glass, I did exactly the same thing again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"I don't know what hurts more, that I'm still picking glass out of my hand or that my mum is still ranting about the water I'd spilled." Are you serious? Of course the glass hurts more!! How is your mother's pointless yelling even comparable to glass in your hand.. Jeez I do agree with 8 though, not the therapy part but your mother should be more concerned about you than spilled water.

#13 I'm sure the OP knows that having glass in their hand hurts more than being yelled at by their mother. I think they were just looking for a "creative" way to word the FML and it ended up sounding slightly questionable.

I believe the op means is once is worse the physical pain of the glass which can end by the end of the night or the fact his/her mom cares more about spilled water than his/her well being. so in my eyes it's kinda of a mental type pain (think outside the box) and btw to the op YDI for being clumsy.

I'd say 27 hit the nail on the head.

That depends on the yelling and how long it's been. If their mom is berating them (not just yelling about the water itself, but insulting them personally), which is probably the case if she's making that big of a deal about spilled WATER, it probably is a bigger deal than the glass, particularly if it's part of a long history of verbal abuse. Emotional pain can be much more significant than physical pain sometimes.

spilled. your grammar is Inconceivable

Spilt is correct in the OP's region. Its just British-English as opposed to the American-English you're used to seeing everyday.

people spell things differently in different countries way to fail at trying to look smart!

OP, FYL. This is absolutely something that would happen to me, mom included. :/ Sorry about your hand and your mom, I know it sucks.
