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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

You are an idiot. I won't, can't & wouldn't go a day without my glasses. At least no one can tell your eyesight sucks if you have contacts. I've worn glasses since I was 5, so get over wearing contacts. And who cares if you prove something to your friends. This is shittty.

wow. you guys are all dumb. this is not about whether or not they are attention seekers, or that they should be wearing their contacts, or "yay contacts are cool dont be embarrassed by them". this is about the ironically placed sign. thats it. stop over-thinking it. kthanks.
