Today, I went to the sandcastle contest at my local beach. While waiting in line for a hotdog, a man cut in front of me and demanded a cup of water. I called him a jackass, saying how people like him give us a bad reputation at the beach. I then saw him running to his choking daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was trying to relax on the beach after a stressful day, just to overhear a bunch of kids near me start fighting over who pooped in the hole they'd dug in the sand. FML
Today, I was at the pool when I saw a man eating the food I had ordered near my seat. I immediately ran up to him and asked him to stop stealing my food. I took the food away and threw it in the trash. Seconds later the attendant came out with my actual food. FML
Today, at the beach, my son was screaming and crying because the sand was burning his feet. I told him to put on his sandals. He got mad and threw them in the ocean, then started crying harder when he realized they were gone. He's now hiding under the bed in the condo and is refusing to come out. FML
Today, I went to the beach with friends. While splashing around in the ocean and waving to my friends who were sitting on the sand, I got caught in a strong current and had to be rescued by a lifeguard. They gave me a wristband that said, "Needs Adult Supervision". FML
Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML
Today, I took my kids to the beach. My autistic son decided it was a good idea to pretend he was drowning. I tried to tell onlookers he was fine and not to worry. My son popped out of the water and laughed hysterically at them. FML
Today, I rescued a little boy who looked like he was drowning in a public pool. His mother then smacked me in the face for "touching him". FML
Today, I got stung by jellyfish. As I was writhing in pain on the beach, my dad comes up and asks me to be quiet and that I'm embarrassing him. FML
Today, while at work, I got a complaint from a guest. She complained that after spending two hours to get her hair done for a wedding, she got drenched with water from a child. I work at a WATER PARK. Thank you for calling me a pathetic asshat for no reason in front of other guests. FML
Today, while at the beach, my son needed to pee. I told him to pee in the ocean. He took off his pants and peed from the beach to the water. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's not your fault. He should of said "My daughter's choking!" or something. I would call the guy a jackass if he just cut in front of me.

This is F the daughter's life. Today I was at the beach eating a hot dog and I started choking. My father panicked. He ran away, and I assumed that he was going to find someone to help. He comes back with a cup filled with water. I died of asphyxiation. FML.

What a dick for not waiting in line.

It doesn't sound that ridiculous, if you have food or water go down wrong it really isn't call for the Heimlich Maneuver and honestly drinking something afterward gets rid of the scratchiness. Definitely an oops moment on your part freaking out on him, but honestly unless his daughter was really young he could have done better in the situation too. I'll give you the FML

why would he need water for a choking person? i would have thought the same thing. plus you said he "demanded" water not he "frantically asked for a cup of water"

She probably wasn't choking in the sense that she had an object blocking her airways. She probably accidentally got water in her airways - sea water or her own saliva. It's happened to everyone before when you swallow some liquid the wrong way and you end up choking. In that situation, drinking something DOES help.

You don't really deserve this, he should've mentioned his choking daughter.. and I really doubt water is going to help his choking daughter anyway..

If I were the father, chances are I wouldn't have said or heard anything that wasn't going to help my daughter. He was probably going nuts or in shock, the poster probably shouldn't have said anything, but the dad probably shouldn't be blamed for anything beyond being a scarred and confused dad.

#30: Probably? He definitely shouldn't be blamed for doing his best to help his daughter.
