Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML
Today, I slipped fell down an entire flight of stairs in front of literally everyone, and after getting back up, I tripped down another flight. Then, instead of silently walking away, I started laughing like a maniac and now everyone probably thinks I'm dumb, clumsy, and crazy. 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, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML
Today, I tripped and fell going up the stairs, not once, but twice at work as I was leading customers through our building. I actually got bruises. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when I saw a guy in front of me trip and fall forwards, and I quickly jumped forward to steady him. Apparently he thought he was being mugged, and threw his head backwards into my face, leaving my nose a bloody mess. FML
Today, with a single misstep, I managed to send myself and several others tumbling down a stairwell at work. An ambulance ended up having to be called for one lady. FML
Today, I was at the gym and I tripped on the treadmill. Not only did I fall off the machine, I also managed to knock over two other people's water bottles and send them flying across the room. FML
Today, I tripped going up the stairs at work, caught myself, and laughed it off. Then I tripped again on the very next step. The same bunch of coworkers watched both times. No one laughed the second time. Neither did I. 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?

A pile of twigs breaks less easily than a single twig on its own. Great reflexes OP.

Well, I'm sorry nobody even asked if you or any of the other people were alright. People are rude, and it's not your fault you tripped. Shit happens, y'know?

I'm sure they were fine or OP probably wouldn't have put it on here - or would have mentioned it :) Don't worry :) Good you care though!

You dusted yourself off? How about you help the other people up and say sorry

Well you assume they didn't apologize since it wasn't in the FML. With this logic op is also rude for not asking if they were ok or even apologizing for the accidental fall.

I agree #3 - Some people are definitely rude, and not understanding. One time, when I slipped down some pretty steep stairs - 30 year old, 90lbs lady tried to chastise me for 10 minutes, going on about how it was impolite (what?!), and whined about how morals have dropped since Obama. Oh the irony. Also, last night, whilst working on the checkout, a customer called me a pretentious, classless **** because of my "fake British accent" when I gently told them his card was declined. I'm English. Again, the irony.

Instead of OP spending thousands in medical bills, OP simply diluted it across 3 others. Sharing is caring.

Happens to everyone atleast you didn't pull down an older person or you may have had manslaughter on your hands...
Migole 36
And that's what handrails are for. Grab them while walking to prevent falling down when you trip.

Collateral, you deserve a GG rather than bad glares.

if i was one of the people you pulled down i would have been pretty mad..good thing you managed to pull down the most understanding people in the world and didn't catch a beating from it
doodlecloud 27
You'd beat someone up for having reflexes? If I was hurt then sure I'd be pissed but I wouldn't start beating the person...I hate that there are so many people around that think it's okay to resort to violence for the smallest of things...

which part of my comment said anything about me getting violent..very quick to judge with nothing to go on..its just a fact of life that a rather large portion of this world uses violence as a first response to confrontation of any kind. i just pointed out op was very lucky to have not pulled down one of those quick to violent type cause ive seen people attack others for far less
