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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. FML
Today, I was late for a meeting. The meeting hall door was made of glass, and it said pull, but in my rush, I pushed the door so hard that it shattered into small pieces. FML
Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I was late for class and I had to run to catch my bus, which only stops near our house twice a day. I made it to the doors just as they closed, and the bus drove away… with my sweaty reflection staring back at me in the moving bus door window. FML
Today, I was trying to convince a friend that even though I'm blonde, I'm not the oblivious or stupid moron everyone apparently thinks I am. Then I smacked face-first into a glass door. FML
Today, I was walking into my office building when I tripped over a doormat and fell flat on my face right in front of the security guard. As I tried to stand up, I kicked the door, slamming shut with a dramatic bang. I looked up to see that the entire building lobby was watching. FML
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
Today, I went to a job interview, and a guy ahead of me went to enter the building, only to walk face-first into a glass door. I rushed to help him up, and after we had a good laugh about it, I turned to walk inside, only to walk straight into the door as well. FML
Today, I was heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. FML

Don't you have doorhandles where you live? Also wouldn't storming into the classroom bring even more attention to your lateness? I thought it's common practice to run to classs but a few meters before you reach the room you slow down and silently sneak in...

Good thing it wasn't your class so you don't have to awkwardly go inside while everyone stares at you

Whether it was locked or not, who opens a door with their face?

Well, you got an education today. Just not the one you were expecting. Hope you're OK, OP.

It's important to enter any room with dignity. If that room is full of others who are paying big money to learn, even more so. Get your shit together.

In Sweden we don't have to pay for college/university.

How do you fall awkwardly? Wouldn't it just be a regular fall?

I've actually never had a 'regular' fall. I have always fallen over in a spectacular fashion with legs in the air, knickers flashing, the works... How does one actually have a regular fall pray tell? ;)

I hope nobody recognized you in that class. I know it sucks to be late but some days it just happens, good for you though OP. caring about your education enough you run to class.. Some students could care less, even if you have teachers being a metaphorical cattle prod and walking then to their class.
