Today, I was at Walmart walking around when I slipped on some water and twisted my ankle. As I was getting up, a man came up to me and said, "There's some water on the floor, watch out." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tripped over a "Caution: Slippery When Wet" floor sign and sprained my ankle. FML
Today, as I was putting some dishes away, I spilled water on the floor. While walking around the dishwasher, I slipped on said water, and after going to urgent care, found out I tore my meniscus. FML
Today, I slipped on the wet floor at work and sprained my wrist badly. I was carrying the wet floor sign so no one would slip. FML
Today, I was at the water park, when I slipped and fell to the ground in front of the no running sign. I was walking. FML
Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML
Today, while working at my job at a nursing home, I slipped and fell. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just water. No, one of the residents had just had an "accident". FML
Today, I was at work at Walmart, casually walking in the middle of the store, when my foot caught on something, so I went flying forward and yelled, being caught off guard, to the point I had to pretend I was running for 3 seconds, then someone blocked my path so I suddenly had to stop. Everyone was staring at me. FML
Today, I slipped on a small wet patch of floor in the grocery store and fell flat on my back, bringing my half-full shopping cart down with me. FML
Today, I slipped on a wet floor in the grocery store. Instead of falling gracefully or quickly, I windmilled my arms for a few seconds while making direct eye contact with a toddler who looked genuinely impressed. I didn’t fall, but still… FML
Today, I was at a grocery store when I slipped on a puddle of water. I tried to catch my balance, grabbed a shelf, and instead took down an entire display of chocolate boxes. People rushed over to help, albeit while smirking, and a kid yelled, “Do it again!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your fall could be incredibly profitable if you sue everyone indiscriminately.

Well said.

A wet carpet. That sounds like an ultimate torture device of slipping and falling with perhaps burns on your feet.

Wow, they're smart for not telling you. o;

A wet carpet: 1970's **** terminology for an aroused foxy lady.

Sue them like Plankton did Krabs! Just keep your hands off the secret formula.

You should've said "WELL NO FREAKIN SHIT!!"

You can sue.

They'll give you free stuff so you won't sue normally. Like one time my little sister got stung by a bee in walmart and they gave her toys and candy.

instead of suing like every other dumbass why not watch for water on the floor or where you step
NeatNit 33
How is it the store's fault that a bee stung her?!

I fell in walmart once. Bruised the tailbone, messed up my knee, and further more, hurt my pride. I feel your pain. Only mine resulted in two old men laughing at me, a older man checking on me, and my best friend trying to help me keep my dignity.

#22-I fail to see the comparison.

74-Cuz then you couldn't sue them!

Great country?! It's already down the crapper…

Not to diss respect a soldier if that is you in the picture but there should always be a sign because people don't watch the floor when they walk.

74- Do you honestly keep one eye focused on the ground at all times in case of stray puddles of water?
x_KL_x 7
Dam, I am so sick of people saying "Sue them" what is wrong with the world? How about thinking of a more productive way of sorting out your tiny problems.

Was the "water" in the diaper isle? If so, take a bath. Please.

From what I've heard of that place, if you slip over in Wal-Mart, scour your skin with acid to remove all the disgusting ikky.

WTF suck a ****

One of the pissed off door greeters probably spilled it. Mmmm sounds like a potential lawsuit. Sucks to be you.

No, it sucks to be Walmart. OPs gonna make bank!!!!

Don't sue.. There are enough bottom feeders in this world already. Just chalk up to tough luck.
xleanne_aLly 23
I wouldn't sue either, just tell the manager about it so they'll give you free stuff. :)
tjv3 10
yeah bottom feeders are killing this country. this person should have been watching where they were walking
xNephilim 19
Walmart probably would offer the OP all kinds of free stuff. They go to ridiculous lengths to prevent getting sued.
