Today, as I was stretching, I realized my hand can reach all the way up to touch the fan, when it was on, and going full speed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered that I am just tall enough and my hair is just long enough, to get caught in the ceiling fan if I flip it over to dry it. FML
Today, my ceiling fan was rocking violently so I turned it off. I stood under it trying to figure out what the problem is, it fell on my face. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a date, so to avoid stinky pits, I went to put some deodorant on. However, when I raised my arm to apply it, I almost sliced my hand off when I raised it right into the ceiling fan. FML
Today, I stuck my hand out the car window and noticed my arm fat flapping in the wind. FML
Today, I fell off the top of my bunk bed in my sleep onto a running fan. FML
Today, I was moving into my new house. While trying to turn on the light in the bedroom, I realized I couldn't reach the string on the fan. I got a chair, climbed up, reached over, and fell badly. While writhing in agony on the floor, I looked over to see a light switch on the wall. FML
Today, I found out how painful it is when your ceiling fan falls on you. FML
Today, I accidentally superglued my hand to my grandmother's ornate fan while trying to fix it. FML
Today, I decided to bring down a very old fan from the attic. I plugged it in, and as soon as I turned it on, tiny spiders were blown all over my room. FML
Today, just for old time's sake, I decided to jump on my bed. I ended up hitting my head on the spinning fan and knocking myself unconscious. FML

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have one less. I feel the pain, being tall isn't always good :/

Are you okay?

No, and it's up to us, the FML community, to provide the OP with medical attention. Quick, whoever becomes commenter #32, hand me a scalpel and those forceps!

I feel you, I constantly hit my head on the roof of my car door getting in and out. Other than fitting into small spaces, being tall has its advantages.

At 6'1" I can confirm this, ceiling fans become your mortal enemies.

I know the feeling, it hurts so much.

It happens to me all the time but luckily the fan was off at that time. I hope your hand is fine

Stretching? That has to be one of the least fun activities that can lead to numb fingers. FYL, indeed, OP.

Why did you get down voted? It's a valid question

I've only experienced this once, and it caught me off guard because I'm typically too short to even touch a ceiling fan's blades, but this particular apartment had a lower ceiling than most.
