Today, I learned that the gap between the elevator and the 6th floor landing of my apartment building is approximately one key's width wide. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my phone fits perfectly through the slot between the elevator and the floor. FML
Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML
Today, the elevator in my apartment building broke down. I live on the 30th floor and am still climbing the stairs. FML
Today, the elevator broke in my dorm and won't be fixed for several days. I live on the 26th floor. FML
Today, my neighbor told me to stop pushing the elevator buttons and opening doors with my feet. I bitched him out, because he's been making a huge issue out of it for months. Right after, I realized I forgot my keys inside and he's the only person around who could let me back into the building. FML
Today, I spent minutes trying to open my apartment door before realizing I was one floor above my own. My terrified neighbor watched me struggle with my keys through their peephole the entire time, until he yelled "I'M CALLING 911!" and I realized where I was. FML
Today, I finally sought help for my crippling fear of elevators. When I arrived at my new therapist's office, I found the door to the stairs locked. To get to my appointment on the third floor of the building, I have to take the elevator. FML
Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML
Today, due to sleep deprivation, I wasn't paying attention to where the elevator stopped. I walked into a flat, thinking it was mine. It wasn't. It was the flat just beneath mine. FML
Today, I spent 6 hours unloading boxes into my new apartment. After unloading the entire truck and making trips up and down two flights of stairs, I heard a knock on the door. Apparently the landlord gave me the key to the WRONG apartment. Mine is downstairs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I love the way the OP worded this.. genius

You obviously missed what the OP is saying #1. She dropped the key, which fell through the crack, and is now lost down the elevator shaft. I can't believe I had to explain that. Btw, if an ant is traveling at 1 m/s, that ant is moving insanely fast. 1 cm/s is more likely. Nice attempt at being clever, though.

Wow, what did you do with this information? Did you calculate the time it took for an ant to cross it going at 1m/s?

Thank you Labamba for "stating the obvious" as the one dude is saying, cuz otherwise I would've never understood this FML :D

labamba wrote: "I don't waste my life talking to shitheads like yourself." Well well well... it just so happened to be that you replied to repyourcliche's comment, so as it turns out, you just talked to a "********." Owned. Learn to control yourself.

I would be pretty scared if an ant could travel at 1 m/s.
IamSpartacus 0
Haha. I think bordingdude23 was one one of the ONLY people that noticed the first person said "1 m/s", which would be ridiculous. LOL. And guess what, I don't care if you noticed it, too. Just that boringdude23 said something about it while everyone else was arguing made it funny.

Actually, sarcasm can be pretty hard to detect when it's in text. Also it's hard to detect when the person being sarcastic fails to convey it well.
Labamba 0
Lol I love how this became such a hot topic. No, I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded (btw that's a horrible thing to say xD) and the fighting stopped. It's human nature to defend yourself (she's still an ass) And thank you sheheartsthings. In texts and ims you lose the tone so you can't tell when someone is being sarcastic if they don't convey it.

Eternity - Your comment's logic sucks. Are you saying that replying to a comment ONCE is wasting your life? That does NOT make sense. His second reply ended the conversation. So how did your comment "own" him? Again, I will state it: In the time of labamba's TWO comments against repyourcliche, he evaluated repyourcliche, and decided he will not further "waste his life" talking to him, because his opinion is that he is a "********". So I guess you're not right after all! :P
billybobjoebob 0
Wait, are you trying to say that labamba did NOT waste his time "talking to shitheads" , because your use of the word "further" implies that labamba already DID waste his time "talking to shitheads" but he just stopped. labamba may or may not waste his time "talking to shitheads," but I sure do! :P and I also waste other people's time. btw, you're not Spartacus, I'm Spartacus!!

I couldn't agree more. I think they should create a special page on FML.com where trolls can gather and kick the shit out of eachother, leaving the rest of us in peace.

agree with redjester, of course :)

how did you manage that? I'm guessing you dropped your key through the doors of the elevator

Every time I walk out of the elevator (6th floor for me, too) while I'm holding my keys I'm always super paranoid I'm going to somehow drop them in the gap between the elevator and the floor. Sorry OP, fyl :(

Me too. Nicely worded lol

I agree with #13; this is very nicely-worded, and fresh FMLs like these keep the site interesting.
kukopia 0
I disagree. There's no approximation here. The gap is PROVEN to be wider than the key. The OP is TRYING to sound smart, and seems to have fooled some of you fools, but not me. OP YDI for not having your key on a keychain or keyring like 99.99% of normal people.
moonfiresfury 0
Approximately is an excellent way to word this, because it could vary by how large certain keys are, the gap could be bigger than the width of the key in question, so on and so forth. She probably didn't measure how big the gap was, and average the size of all keys in the universe to be able to say it was 'exactly' the width of a key. Lets not try to be nitpicky next time. OP, that seriously fails.
aero_fml 0
kukopia you're taking it to literally. The point was it was very well worded. Just because the gap is wider than a key doesn't mean OP was trying to sound smart, it was just the way OP phrased it that made it funny.

I agree and disagree. He should have had a keyring but I think the FML is still cleverly worded. Clever wording usually makes these FMLs

Today, I realized that kukopia is a nitpicky, arrogant asshole, no more intelligent or noteworthy than approximately 75% of the FMyLife fanbase.

chicabonita5683 0
Sarcasm was present here, but that still doesn't mean that #1 understood what happened. It took me a minute to get this too...#1 may have simply thought that this was a dumb statement and therefore took it as useless information.

Wow, #14 is quite a moron. Too dumb to get it, too petty and stupid to admit it's an awesome wording, huh? Well, be prepared for much fail ahead for you if you go on being this dumb.

So your telling the OP to read a dictionary, and you can't even spell? Maybe you should read a dictionary.
