Today, as I entered a stairwell, the fire alarm went off, triggering the automatic fire doors to close. The one I was walking through ran over my foot, ripping my toenail, and then smacked me in the face. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tried to open a door with a dramatic kick, like in the movies. The door didn’t budge, but my shoe flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I tripped while rushing to my classes. In a desperate attempt to regain my balance, I grabbed the nearest thing to me. A fire alarm. FML
Today, at work, we had a fire drill. I was the first to run out of the building, but in my haste, I tripped on the stairs, and rolled down the flight. When I got to the bottom, I tried to stand up, but my ankle was already swelling. What felt like the entire office watched as I limped to the designated meeting point. 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 gave the back door a slight nudge to make sure it was latched shut. Of course, it flew wide open, causing me to smash my face into the doorframe, fall out onto the back porch writhing in pain, and have blood pissing out of my face. FML
Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
Today, looking out of my window, I spotted a fire raging in the building across from my apartment. Grabbing my phone, I dashed out to the balcony, only to slam into the screen door instead. After calling 911, I sprinted back out, only to clock the door a second time. FML
Today, at work, I decided to try and impress this girl walking behind me by holding the door open for her. As she was walking through, I inadvertently pulled the door too hard. It slammed against the wall and ricochet back, hitting her right in the face. FML
Today, my dorm's fire alarm went off. In the rush to escape, I slipped and fell off my bunk bed, breaking my ankle in two places. Crying, I told my roommates I needed help to walk. They shrugged and left after mentioning that I would slow them down. FML
Today, as I got up from the couch, my computer, which was next to me, fell on to my pinky toe. It fell just so that the edge of it cut my toe open. I cursed, and hobbled toward the bathroom to get a bandage. As I'm going into the bathroom, I stub said toe on the door jamb. FML

If op was on a stairwell why would the doors close? Don't you use the stairs in a fire?

The building you are in is currently on fire, and you're complaining about a toenail on the Internet. Burn, bitch... burn.

That sounds extremely painful. I would rather step on a million Legos than get my toenail ripped off. Ow!

I like the username, OP. But I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon. >.<

Aren't fire doors supposed to stay open when the alarm goes off? Like what?
nuffsaidboutthat 4
No, the door acts as a bulkhead for keeping fires contained to only affected areas rather than letting the fire spread easily throughout the building. Usually it's the other way around and signage reads "Fire Door Keep Closed". They are very heavy doors; so for being stupid and standing in the door's path OP is extremely lucky to have only lost a toenail!!

Yes, the OP is stupid because he totally knew the fire alarm would go off as he's walking through the door. Can the OP see the future?

Ugh. It hurts just thinking about that. You'd think a door that was meant to keep people safe would be a bit safer than that.

Oh my god! Hope you're ok!

Damn! In terms or karma, you must'a killed a kitten to get that.. In which case I'd suggest you go easy on da pussy next time! Good luck with your toenail.

I get the feeling that someone was behind this...somehow. Maybe an ex firefighter boyfriend that you severely pissed off?
