Today, I didn't wear my contacts. Determined to prove to my friends I didn't need them, I read all the signs in sight. I couldn't read a particular one, so I began to walk closer. Suddenly I fell on my face, bruising my cheekbone. The sign said: "Caution: Watch Your Step." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML
Today, I tripped on a step that said "Watch your step." Two hours later, I hit my head on a sign that said "Mind your head." FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, while stumbling drunkenly down a trail, I saw a sign that said "Watch for Falling Rocks." I spent the next five minutes confused and wondering how I was supposed to know which rocks were planning to fall. FML
Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML
Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my friend, one I walk down every day, and I saw a really cute guy nearby. I felt like I looked better than usual, so I turned my head to offer a smile, and walked right into a pole. The impact was strong enough to send me falling to the floor. FML
Today, I was walking next to this building that was getting renovated, and read a sign that said "Watch out for falling debris at all times." While I was watching out for debris, I fell down a staircase. FML
Today, I slipped on a wet floor at the supermarket and busted my nose. It wouldn't be as embarrassing if I hadn't missed the "CAUTION: WET FLOOR" sign that I'd put there myself just 30 minutes earlier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

4 is right - in a sense. Some people only need glasses for certain things, like reading fine print. I on the other hand can't see 5 inches in front of my face without my glasses

#2 - yeah they have been approving a lot of stupid ones lately That's why I wear glasses over contacts, cause they're so easy/quick to put on. I do hope you don't ever try to drive without contacts on #4 - if you're legally blind without glasses you SHOULD NOT be driving without them

ahahahaha, that's funny, thats pure slapstick gold right there. Although if I'm agreeing that this is one of the funnier FML's that I've read as of recent, then what does that say about the quality of FML lately . . .

"determined to prove to my friends i didn't need them" sounds like you were trying to ditch your friends and not your contacts, haha

haha. Okay first of all, how old are you that you get made fun of by your "friends" for wearing contacts/glasses..and second, did you think it was gonna make you look "cool" that you could see without them? I'd say someones attention starved..

Sounds like you really do need contacts. What's the big deal about needing them? Half the world has contacts or glasses.
