Today, I was messing around in computer class when somebody called my name from the hall. Trying to be smooth, I tried rolling my chair backwards out into the hall. The wheels wasted no time jamming and sending me crashing face-first into the floor in front of everyone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss called to check if I was available for a last-minute meeting. Trying to sound professional, I sat up straight in my chair, only to forget I was sitting on a rolling chair with no lock. The chair slid back, I slipped off, and a loud crash echoed through the office. My boss asked if I was okay, and I tried pretending nothing happened. FML
Today, at lunch I was running to my group's table with my friend. She accidentally tripped me, and I slid across the café floor face first on my belly. The whole cafeteria was silent. They then broke out in hysterics when the head janitor ran up to me and yelled 'SAFE!' like a baseball umpire. FML
Today, I tried to quietly leave a meeting early by slowly backing my chair away from the table. One wheel got stuck, the chair flipped, and I took the loudest fall of my life in total silence. FML
Today, I was alone at the office and having some fun spinning around in my chair. In my enthusiasm, I spun too fast, lost my balance, and crashed into the shelf behind me. The shelf didn't survive the impact, and I had 30 minutes to come up with a good excuse before everyone else came back from lunch. FML
Today, I was in the cafeteria at a table near the guy I like. He was playing around with a ball with a couple of his friends. They dropped it, and it rolled over next to my foot. When I bent down to pick it up, I smashed my head against a chair. FML
Today, I was walking to class, when a kid came up behind me and smacked me in the face a few times until I fell to the ground. I rolled over and he said, "Oh shit! Wrong person, my bad." FML
Today, in art class, I tried to attract my crush's attention by slowly sitting down in front of him. Too bad I missed the chair and fell onto the floor. FML
Today, I was terribly late for class, so I rushed to the classroom door, thinking it was unlocked. I smacked face-first into the glass, and awkwardly fell to the floor. Once I got back up, I peeked through the glass, only to realise it wasn't even my class. FML
Today, I was walking to class with my roommate. She didn't notice the car coming up behind her because her headphones were in. As I pulled her out of the way, she thought I was goofing around and shoved me back... in front of the car. I got hit and rolled off the hood. FML
Today, I got expelled from school. I was walking down a flight of stairs when I tripped and bumped into a kid ahead of me by mistake. He fell forward and took half a dozen people down with him. The staff think I did it on purpose, and there's talk of charges being pressed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The key words that make this a YDI: "...I was messing around..." "...trying to be smooth..."

Someone ****** up and replaced the old chair wheels with the ones from a Wal-Mart cart. You must've crossed a yellow line. Wal-Mart is serious about their carts.

Wrong FML?

In this case, could YDI also stand for Your Damn Issue?
Boygenius50 8
Nope, right FML.

False. If you were moving backwards and the wheels jammed, you would have been sent flying backwards (cranium-first), not facefirst. Unless you broke the doggone laws of physics.

You creative bastard..

How do you NOT deserve this?
kakarot2 11
Because it is a legitimate FML and you are being a dick. You act like you haven't had any embarrassing moments.
mars13_fml 8
Because it was an accident. If I'm sitting in one of those chairs and someone calls my name I would do the same thing. It's not like the OP meant to fall on their face. Stop being an ass

It was prorbably a joke on da commenters part, right?

Eh.. Embarrassing moments happen to everyone. Laughing it off is the best remedy. Your friends will laugh with you, and who cares about the rest? Feel better op!

I would have to love to see something like this xD. Oh well, seems like you're okay. That's what matters. (:

Dumbass.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
You've been hit by A smooth criminal. Who turned you into An epic fail
may651 14
Yeah haters going to hate idc. Physiologically people are united by something to not like. I guess I am that person on FML.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I wasn't making fun of you for the record. And most people on FML dislike comments like "dumbass". Either that or they don't like cheerleaders. Try changing your picture and commenting techniques. Or not. Everybody's a critic, so at least one person will thumb you down. It happens.
may651 14
Lol I hate cheerleaders too. That is my grandpa and I on a walk for cancer for my mom. And this whole sight is about judging what everyone says. So i don't really car what people think.
therealslim 15
Don't get so hurt 100, a mere 3 people thumbed you down.
Demonfish 14
I hate it when that happens... I hope that no permanent damage was done to your face!
itssosparkly 21
Maybe the rough floor smoothed it down.
Demonfish 14
Are you trying to suggest that the OP's face is now gloriously shiny and smooth? :O

Well he did say he was trying to be "smooth"
