Today, I had a coffee date. The guy was waiting with coffee to meet me on the patio. I walked up to him, caught my favorite pendant necklace on the table, broke the necklace trying to get it free, and rattled the table so intensely that the guy's coffee spilled all over him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML

Today, I was drinking coffee out of my favorite mug, when it slipped out of my hand. I caught it, but not before most of the hot coffee spilled all over my lap. In reaction, I dropped the mug again, shattering it. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. Within seconds of getting my drink, I spilled it all over the table and my scarf. When the waiter was helping clean up the spill, he knocked over my boyfriend's drink. All over my pants. FML
Today, while on a date with the guy of my dreams, I cut my tongue so bad it bled for an hour. I managed to cut it on the plastic spoon from my coffee. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop to meet a potential client. As soon as I sat down, I knocked my coffee over, and it splashed all over my lap. I tried to play it off by making a joke, but I hadn’t brought a spare pair of pants, and the client turned up just as I was mopping my crotch with paper towels. 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, I was on a date with my boyfriend when he suddenly got down on one knee and proposed. A waiter tripped over him and spilled our food all over him. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I really like. Midway through dinner, I felt something stuck in my teeth and, trying to be discreet, attempted to remove it. In the process, I flicked a piece of food across the table and it landed in his drink. He looked at it, then at me, then sighed. FML
Today, I went on a coffee date. It turned out to be a mistake - not because he was bad, but because I forgot how much coffee upsets my stomach. Yup, it makes me need to poop, and I did. In my jeans. As he drove me home. Not quite the "run" of fun we’d planned. FML

Unless you were at a lower level than the table or the pendant was on a long ass necklace there is no way you could have caught it on the table just by walking past it. Unless you walk with as hunch or something in which case you have worse problems than just this.

It might have happened too fast for him to try and help.

for the people saying that your chain must be really wrong, some coffee places have very high round tables with tall chairs; so it couldve easily happened if she tried to reach and hug him and he was still seated or something.... anyway, that sucks! hopefully the rest of the date went well.

Why didn't you just undo the clasp and then try to get it out, rather than panicking and yanking the table all over the place?

Reading this FML and the comments makes me think that no body actually reads these things logically, maybe she's very short but how could she walk up and get her necklace caught in the table at the same time? Even if she was sitting it would have to be up close to her neck for it to be rattling because if it was far from her neck she could just use her hands to loosen it.

Did you get it caught when you sat down? Still, that sucks!

ehh this isn't really a big deal. it could happen to anyone. I think FMLs should be more clever and original- something that doesn't happen regularly.

How the hell do you catch a necklace on a table?
