Today, I finished the kayak I have been working on for four years. I can't get it out of my basement. 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 kayaking with some friends, and I had an empty beer can dedicated to throwing cigarette butts in. After running out of beer, I took a big swig from the only can in my kayak. Twice. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my friend. We figured it'd be awesome if I jumped from my kayak straight into his. Sounded good in theory. One flipped kayak, a pair of lost glasses, and a humiliating swim back to shore later, I'm starting to think it wasn't the best idea. FML
Today, my wife and I went kayaking for the first time in the ocean. She got seasick and, just before she threw up, leaned over the side and tipped the kayak over. FML
Today, after I finally got the money for a pool, I built a deck, filled it a quarter of the way, then all the 4x4 beams collapsed. The pool ripped in half, flooding the yard. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my family for my birthday when we tipped over while going down a rocky cascade. My husband badly cut up his arm, and my car keys and my phone both went for a swim and never returned. Great birthday. FML
Today, I went camping. My tent is flooded, a raccoon ate all my food, I lost the anchor to my boat which as a result is now across the lake. Three more days. FML
Today, I created a 3D sculpture for a competition that I was hoping might impress some people, and maybe lead to a job with a particular company. I finished it last night for the competition, but this morning I realised it’s too big to get it out of my front door without taking it apart. FML
Today, my boyfriend got frustrated trying to take my entertainment center into the basement for the kids' game room. It didn't fit, thanks to the horrible design of the house, so he Spartan-kicked it down, breaking it into 15 pieces. FML
Today, I went jet skiing with my girlfriend of four years. I intended to propose to her. The $2000 ring fell out of my pocket and into the lake. I have no idea where it is. FML
Today, I spent two hours building an IKEA bookshelf. When I was finished, I realized it was inside-out. There was no way to fix it without completely taking it apart again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Anyone else thinking of NCIS while reading this? OP should try and disassemble the kayak into parts that can make it out the door then reassemble it, no? (I have no idea whether that would actually work with kayaks though...) Either way, good luck, OP!

Clearly you're not Gibbs

Just like in NCIS. How did Gibbs get those boats out of his?

He didn't. He trashed it then started over again.

Ignore the last reply, I was thinking of a different show. It was never revealed in the episodes. Like Tony said, "He just does."

Cut a hole through the floor if the kayak is that important. I mean. Someone needs to think outside of the box

Get it in small enough pieces and take it out side then put it back together

You seem to not be blessed with an overabundance of foresight....

Lmao for some reason this reminds me of the episode of "Friends". The one where Ross gets a new couch and he cant get it up to his apartment and he's yelling "Pivot!" At Rachel and Chandler. XD

Don't feel bad, they say Henry Ford did the same thing with his first car. Had to sledgehammer the doorway to his shop to get it out cuz the garage door hadn't been invented yet.

Who do you think you are Jethro Gibbs?!

If the guy who built a Lamborghini in the basement got his car out, you can get the kayak out. Time for some demo work. Lol
