Today, after dieting and working out for almost 3 months, I sit down on my chair to finish off some work. It broke. FML

Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

This FML is from back in 2019 but it's good stuff
Desks are so judgmental these days!
Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML

Today, while at a family gathering, I sat down in a chair and it broke. Embarrassed, I picked myself up and sat down in another chair. That one broke too. I'm now the "fat girl" of the family despite weighing 90 pounds. FML

Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML

Today, I was sitting at the computer browsing various websites. In my attempt to scoot the chair forward, I hit my knee against the desk that my computer was on, and ended up breaking it. I literally broke my knee sitting on my ass. FML

Fit as a fiddle
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML

Today, my chair abruptly fell apart completely while I was sitting on it. I didn't even do anything. Have I really gained that much weight? FML

Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML

Today, I fell off my desk chair. Why? I failed to notice that the screws I'd been finding on the floor around my room for the past few months belonged to said chair. FML

Red tape
Today, after 4 years of nicely asking, I wrote an official memo to our logistics department, asking for new chairs for my subordinates. The logistics people came and concluded that there are more broken chairs than good ones, but suggested that perhaps we should all go on a diet. FML

I like how you make the work out part seem important. I highly doubt it broke cause you were too big

ok, buddy... please stop posting, you seriously know nothing and you're trying to spread your ignorance.. lbs is a form of measuring how much something weighs.. of course if you take a pound of each they will weigh the same, but the amount of muscle you would need for that pound would be almost 1/3 of what you need to get the pound of fat therefore... MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE!!!! please do myself and others a favour, can you go to ANY local gym, or supliment store and tell them exactly what you're telling us, see what they say, remember these are people who are in the profession and are required to know these things, then come back and let us know what you've learned

It could have just been a cheap or old chair.

it's not necessarily weight, it could be old or worn out. I broke a chair once too, and I am not overweight at all.

Well, I dont think that the chair broke because of you. When chairs get a lot of usage, they become weaker, therefore, it broke because it was pretty much at the end of its life, and couldn't sustain any amount of weight any longer.

Seriously, it's only an FML because you work in a shitty chair because the dieting eliminates the possibility of you being too heavy.
