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

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

Hey OP here. I'm okay! I have a major bump on my head but I'm fine. The funny thing is that my mom doesn't even live in the same house with me. It's not like she would have to pay the bills at all. She's always had a weird way to look at things, she definitely loves me, it's just sometimes she doesn't think before she speaks.

Not sure you're the op. they generally flag the op's comment and don't allow people to thumb up or down the comment

I definitely am the OP. I don't know why it hasn't been flagged yet. I also don't understand why it say anonymous, oh well.

The moderators can fix it. I'm nit sure if you have to notify them or if they see it and then highlight you as the op.

Being rendered unconscious is no joke. I really hope you went to the doctor.

Sorry op, but the mental image made me laugh. You should consider getting those rubber gripped bath mats so this doesn't happen again; unfortunately you could've been hurt even more seriously then you were. Hope you're ok!

Damn, at least you didn't have to make a trip to the hospital

I guess she thinks your possible concussion will cost less than the water bill. smh

And she's be correct about that. (We don't have hospital bills in Canada). But she really should care about her daughter's well-being more.

Glad it wasn't more serious OP. May want to invest in a shower mat for the future.

Well if you weren't seriously injured, then she should be worried about the water. That stuff's expensive.

Were you sober?

My dad would do the same

Perhaps your mother noticed that you had called her instead of calling anybody else, like an ambulance or a mode of transportation. or you didn't tell her right away you had to go to the hospital. So with all that said, she probably just was playing it off like she wasn't worried. So when she seemed to be worrying about all the water wasted..maybe that was her bringing up the less important issue and waiting for you to say "but mom, I'm bleeding"..or "mom, I need to go to the hospital". so she didn't seem like a worry wart about her baby. :) but..If the water really was her priority...then..I'd ask her why she worried more about the water than your safety or health.

I think all mothers are like that haha
