Today, I fell in the shower and knocked myself out. When I came to I turned off the water and called my mom. She seemed more worried about the amount of water I "wasted" than she was about me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while showering I slipped and fell, taking down the shower curtain and smashing my head against the floor, resulting in a concussion. My family came running because of the noise and I lay naked, bleeding and concussed for few minutes before they could stop laughing enough to get me help. FML
Today, I flooded my entire kitchen. The water was cut off at night and I left the faucet open without realizing. When the sound woke me up at 5am, the water reached my ankles. I frantically tried to sweep it out before my mother woke up at 6am. I didn't make it. FML
Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML
Today, while in the shower, I heard my phone buzz. Expecting an important text, I leaned out to check it. I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and ended up stuck in the most awkward position possible with one leg in the shower and the other out. My roommate had to rescue me. FML
Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML
Today, as I stepped into the shower, I slipped and fell over the edge of the tub, pulling the shower curtain down with me. I called my roommate to help me up as I put on a towel over me. But before she could help me up, she grabbed her phone to take a picture. The picture became a mass text. FML
Today, I was in the kitchen with my mom, who is severely disabled and can barely walk. She suddenly slipped on a puddle of water, so I instinctively grappled her from behind to save her. It took me a moment to realize my hands were accidentally cupping her breasts. She then slipped again and took both of us down. FML
Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Today, I was using a public restroom when the automatic toilet flushed prematurely. The sudden gush of water startled me so much that I jumped up and slipped, hitting my head on the stall door. A concerned stranger had to help me up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Remind her that paying for a little more water is better than paying hospital bills for head trauma.

I wasn't going to dislike your comment until you made your second comment. So I disliked both!

Your mother sounds like a bitch.

Tell her you'll pee in the shower from now on to save water from not flushing the toilet.

Should have turned the water off. You are so wasteful

Never mind, I detected the sarcasm, even if most others didn't.

Keep sarcasm to the real world. It doesn't really translate well in text.

We don't even live in the same house. She doesn't pay my bills ?

29, so wait, are you the OP? Edit: just saw your "I'm the OP" comment.
lordtimbit 13
Yes haha. And I didn't mean to put the question mark, it was suppose to be a smiley face.

No hospital bills in Canada

Calgary's hydro rate is crazy expensive- medical is completely free

You don't live in the same house but you called your mum right after because you knocked your head? That seems a bit strange to me. It doesn't seem news worthy of a phone call to me. From the FML it sounded like you called as in yelled from the bathroom.

If you actually knock yourself unconscious, you should see a doctor. And you should probably get someone else to drive you there. There could be serious brain damage.

@75 maybe her mom was in house while she was showering, therefore her calling could be from the bathroom instead of through the phone :)

It says she lives in Canada. We don't get hospital bills here. The mom sounds like a bitch though, her daughter's safety should come first.

Canada !!!

That's really quite terrible... You could've been dead or something... I'm sorry your mother is like that, maybe tell her to be a bit more considerate when it comes to you being knocked out...

We should gather all the FML mothers in one place so they can collect their mothers of the year awards
