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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

The store has the legal responsibility to keep their customers free of hazards. It is in no way the customer's fault they slipped on water on the floor, and if you really think it is, I hope one day you are in the same spot...then you will regret your words...

It's the customers fault if a wet floor sign was in place.

One thing: OP was not a customer. OP worked in the store. So really, it's everyone's responsibility to keep the place clean for the customers and to avoid creating a hazard. Because no one, including OP did that, they're all to blame.

Where does it say that the OP works in the store?

Brian - My mistake. I thought it said "I was at Wal-Mart working when..."

He was just trying to help. I swear, people like you, OP, are so inconsiderate.

SUE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM
Egnar 19
For all of the people yelling sue: As a former Loss Prevention Officer [they kind of guys who handle these issues in store] you do have a potential case, IF, there was no signage in the area stating the floor was wet - AND - you would need to inform the store and fill out forms (which if you didn't is pretty dumb because you can't prove it happened in the store, otherwise). If you did fill out the forms there is no use lying about a hazard sign because it would have been investigated immediately afterwards. If you filled out the forms AND there was no signs you would be able to sue the store, but, don't expect to get some amazing large reward, you'll end up recouping the cost of medical bills, maybe a little bit more.
