Today, freshly dumped and at a bar, I focussed my attention on trying to stand in such a way that I looked like an attractive, alluring, confident person. Apparently I forgot how to successfully stand upright and sprained my ankle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sprained my ankle trying to prove that I can walk in high heels. FML
Today, I was at the gym, feeling pretty proud of myself for working out consistently for the past month. As I was about to grab a towel, I tripped and landed face-first into a pile of gym mats. People turned to look, and all I could do was try to laugh it off through the pain of what turned out to be a sprained ankle. FML
Today, I fell down my backyard steps at my own housewarming party, ended up breaking my ankle, and am now non-weight bearing for 10 weeks. I'm supposed to start a new job tomorrow, where I'm always on my feet. FML
Today, I fell and sprained my ankle while trying to step into my underwear. FML
Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML
Today, while on my daily jog, I passed a very attractive girl. While passing her, she yelled "hey cutie". Trying to look cool, I tried turning around without stopping. I then fell off the curb and severely sprained my ankle. She caught up to help but was laughing the entire time. 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 went to the grocery store in my brand new high heels. I tried to be graceful as I walked down the aisle but ended up slipping on some spilled juice and doing a weird half-dance, half-flailing thing. The shoppers around me turned to watch as I clumsily tried to regain my balance. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I also knocked over a display of discounted snacks. FML
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, I found out that I not only dislocated two bones in my foot, but also fractured one of those two bones and snapped the other. How did this happen? I tripped over a single stair walking from the bar to the beer garden. I didn't even get to drink anything. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Confidence may be the key, but standing upright often helps. Hope your ankle heals up quickly, OP.

Heads up OP. There are more fish in the sea.

Great idea! She can't possibly fall over in the water.

Sounds like chances are she will fall for anyone at the moment.

Though I agree with you, I'm pretty sure it's "No pain, no gain."

Did anybody come and help you at least?

I agree the damsel in distress approach might work.

How do you sprain your ankle by just standing up straight?
smackaroonial 20
The burning question in all of our minds!
Nilorak 24
Not in mine!
ohcheriecherie 20
high heels, perhaps?
Softballchick224 21
It's totally obvious! Just as she was about to stand up straight (and be her confident amazing self) the ground started tremoring. Causing her to fall off balance and sprain her ankle!!!

It's those CFM pumps. Apparently they don't work

I really hope you were drunk, because you'd have to be really clumsy to sprain your ankle while standing...

She could have been wearing really tall heels.

Hopefully a nice caring man helped you up....in a bar

Keep your head up, it gets better - eventually.

I want to see the attractive, alluring, confident pose that sprained an ankle.

I think if I tried any yoga poses I would end up a lot worse off than this.
