Today, I came home from the army and explained to my family how tough it was there. Then, as I was walking away, I stubbed my toe on the couch, fell and cried. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I woke up really out of it, and as I was walking into the kitchen, I stubbed my toe on a tile. I sat down, then got up and stubbed the same toe against the table, went over to the kitchen and stubbed the same toe on the same tile again. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, I went to shut the door and ended up banging my toe on my guitar stand; then, as I was getting a snack out of a closet, I banged my toe again on the drawer and now I can't walk. FML
Today, I tried to sneak into the kitchen for a midnight snack. I stubbed my toe so hard on a stool leg, I yelped then tried to keep as quiet as possible. My mom came running, thinking our cat and dog were fighting and hissing again. I hobbled back to bed, only to realize I didn't actually get any food. FML
Today, my girlfriend, her grandma, and I were leaving her house to eat lunch. I stubbed my toe on the door while exiting. It hurt, so I stood there shortly in pain. I heard my girlfriend's grandma call me a "pansy". I later saw blood and took off my shoe. My whole toenail had come off of my big toe. FML
Today, the neighbors heard a blood curdling scream and called the cops, thinking I was being murdered. Nope. I just stubbed my toe. FML
Today, I hit my toe against a table. Out of frustration, I kicked the table and broke my little toe. FML
Today, I was home alone in my apartment. I tripped over my dresser and fell and sprained my ankle. As I was laying there in agonizing pain, my downstairs neighbor shouted at me to shut up. FML
Today, since my family and friends always make fun of me for being a wuss when it comes to pain, when I stubbed my toe, I made a point to not scream or complain in any way. Instead, I vomited and fainted. FML

Just be thankful you didn't step on a lego block. Many a good men have lost their lives to those foul pieces of plastic.

things can be tough in different ways lol idk because I'm not personally in the military but I imagine its emotionally tough more than physically. that's why when the veterans come back they don't talk about it.

If after everything you've been through in the service. The worse thing you can say is you stubbed your toe, id say you're good. Thank you for your service too.

feel better and glad to have another person in the family. I am an officer stationed in Hawaii schofield barracks.

You sound like you'd be better off in the RAF/USAF, much more comfortable, and you always have good food and barracks

As prior service Army now in the Air Force, this isn't always true.. As a medic I was pretty well taken care of. The Air Force picks on the little stuff that the Army doesn't care so much about. I think it just depends on the personality of the person.

It picks on the smaller stuff because there is nothing better to do!

The RAF/USAF are couch-free zones?

What a wuss! Thanks for your service, though.

I once stubbed my toe, and it wouldn't stop hurting for a week! It wasn't even broken, and i could barely walk the first day!

Come on, your toes have been safe in the military shoes for such a long time: toe-stubbing is something the army definitely does NOT prepare you for ;)

Thank you so much for serving, I greatly appreciate the freedom you've given me. And also, a stubbed toe is really not a joking manner. It hurts. You're okay to cry about it! I know I would!

And now we know why your parents laughed when you told them you wanted to join the army.
