Today, I went to a coffee shop. As I headed over to stand in line, I tripped over my own feet. I got back up, then tripped up yet again. Everyone was staring, and I was so mortified that I went to leave. I then struggled with the door under their glares before realising it opened the other way. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into a café for the first time, and as I opened the door, I slammed it into the face of a poor barista. Embarrassed, I tried to apologize while holding the door open for a woman behind me, only to have my hand slip and the door crash into her as well. I then stood there, frozen, as both of them just stared at me as I apologized with, "I swear I'm not a moron." FML
Today, I was walking into work holding a coffee and a bunch of other things. My employee saw me and held the door. I was almost there when I dropped my coffee, tried to catch it, tripped over the curb and fell flat on my face. I heard the door close while still lying there. FML
Today, on my way out of a coffee shop, I tripped over a curb while holding a full cup of coffee. The coffee flew in slow motion, hitting a stranger right in the face. As I stood there, frozen, I realized the puddle of coffee was now surrounding both of us. All I could do was apologize while trying to avoid a public fistfight. FML
Today, at work, I tripped and fell face-first into a food display. As I picked myself up, totally humiliated, I tripped again and fell right back into it, earning a bunch of pitying looks from nearby customers. FML
Today, I confidently walked into a coffee shop, ordered a cappuccino, and went to sit down. On my way over to read my book at a table, I knocked over a stack of chairs by tripping on a rug. The worst part? I had to sit there, sipping my drink, and reading the same sentence over and over again, while everyone watched me slowly die inside. FML
Today, I was at a baby shower with my wife. I went to go outside for some fresh air, but walked straight into their glass sliding door. Everyone stared at me. I smiled with embarrassment and walked back over to my wife, only to trip over my own feet and faceplant the floor. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend after buying two cups of steaming hot coffee. While crossing the busiest street in town I tripped and fell, spilling the coffee all over me. My friend didn't notice I fell right in front of her and tripped over me spilling her coffee on me as well. FML
Today, I was taking a selfie in a café because the lighting was perfect. As I leaned back for the perfect angle, my chair tipped over, and I fell to the ground in front of a bunch of people. The barista was so concerned, he came over with a first aid kit, while I just wanted to disappear. FML
Today, I went to Starbucks to get my free birthday coffee and due to a mistake I received two. Thinking it was my lucky day, I hurried off to work. As I was walking in, I tripped and spilt one coffee all over my new dress. Then I walked into a door and spilt the other. FML
Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. FML

Everyone has 'those' days OP where nothing goes right! Just forget about it and move on. Tomorrows a new day!

I don't understand why they'd be glaring at you.

Seems like you were in a pressing situation.

More like a trippy situation if you ask me. Down with the clown I go.

I think 1 was making a pun to a coffee press of some sort.

You could have just said that bitches be trippin...

What does this have to do with female dogs tripping?

It's about as short and sweet that you can get it.

No, I think 1 meant that OP should have pressed the door instead of pull. Although nowhere does it say whether OP pushed or pulled...

#3's got it right, everyone has days like that, OP. My money's on everyone there having forgotten about it by lunch! You'll remember it for a while, that's the nature of embarrassment, but try not to fret too much. Damn shame you didn't get your coffee, though. There lies the true FML of the situation.

It does happen to everyone, the other day I fell while I was putting gas on my car, it quiet hilarious and awkward, oh well, we all have those days like number #3 had said.

Trippy! But sorry about that. Everyone has one of those days! Maybe if you drink the coffee you will wake up more.

This story would be even more funny in Holland seeing what a coffeeshop and tripping mean :)

I should've known I wasn't the first one to make that connection.

Maybe those other people hadn't had their coffee yet.

#6, agreed! I'd be laughing my head off!

I think I'd have to look away due to severe secondhand embarrassment.

Oh, don't worry about them. I once had a sudden nosebleed when I was ordering my coffee and the cashier looked at me with a terrified look before I realized what happened to me. Just shake it off and don't let it bring you down. :)

I just hope you didn't shake it off as the blood could've gone flying everywhere..

Don't worry OP. It happens to the best of us.
