Today, I fell down a flight of stairs at college. I was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle and had to call my parents to drive me home. They constantly made passive-aggressive remarks on the way home, because I'd "totally ruined" their plans to eat out at a fancy restaurant tonight. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, my dorm's fire alarm went off. In the rush to escape, I slipped and fell off my bunk bed, breaking my ankle in two places. Crying, I told my roommates I needed help to walk. They shrugged and left after mentioning that I would slow them down. FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Today, my girlfriend fell down the stairs and broke her ankle. She also had a bruise on her leg due to her friend biting her. I spent the night in the hospital to be there for her and support her, but I should have expected that the nurses would treat me like a criminal. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs. The guy behind me was kind enough to ask if I was okay. He then called his friends over so they could laugh at me. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I slipped walking down the stairs. My mom thought I sprained my right ankle. In her haste to get me to the doctor, she grabbed me and accidentally tripped me. I broke my left ankle. The right one was fine. FML
Today, I was home alone in my apartment. I tripped over my dresser and fell and sprained my ankle. As I was laying there in agonizing pain, my downstairs neighbor shouted at me to shut up. FML
Today, after my at-the-time partner got in a car wreck with minimal injuries, I drove two hours and got a week off classes to take care of them on hand and foot, they are currently my platonic roommate and I nearly broke my foot… and they keep acting annoyed when I ask for something because I can't walk. FML
Today, I texted my mom if she could pick me up from the hospital. She replied, "No fatty, walk home." I have a broken foot. FML

I have a suspicion that your dad was going to be the only one 'eating out' while they were all alone that night.

My friend, have you ever heard of sarcasm?

This isn't directed at you, 60, but rather the downvoters. Why are you guys taking me so seriously? xD

Well, I guess it really depends on how OP managed to fall down the stairs. Simple accident? Acceptable. Otherwise... (get creative, FML community) vvv

Broken ankle can wait.

Meh. It's hard to find time to find romance these days. At least they picked you up.

Not really. It's their fault for not hitting the bedroom more often, and NOT OP's problem at all, really.

42- you're contradicting your username :( You should say, "My penis may be broken, but I'll still be able to do everything from the waist up!!" :)

I think the bright side would be; 'my pen is is broken but it is still usable and stays firmer longer with this nice splint the doctor put on.'

Your parents should realize that their son is more important

How do you know that it might have been a girl.

Depends on how shitty the son is.

I am sure they were concerned... but parents get so few special occasions, I can't blame them for being disappointed... but they should have put a better face on it out of respect to your injury.

I beg to differ actually, if she's an only child then considering she's in college they should have plenty of time alone. Perhaps her parents just suck or were joking around.

It's a guy

Good call. Does not change the opinion at all however

Op's parents: " we had reservations for god's sake, why couldn't you just walk, selfish bastard! "
HeartOfLead 24
I think it would be a bit ironic if OPs parents called him a bastard...
