Today, I found out that just because you collapse from dehydration on the sidewalk, it doesn't mean people are going to stop driving to see if you're okay, even if they saw you fall. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML
Today, I was walking to my mailbox when I fell down and couldn't get up. My neighbor walked by with his dog, took one look at me struggling, said, "What is wrong with kids these days, drunk at 9 a.m.?" and continued on. I couldn't get up because I'm still healing from a stress fracture in my hip. FML
Today, it was a hot day and a woman walking in front of me collapsed. I helped her up, and I called an ambulance while she laid down. While we waited, two teenage girls walked past and I heard one say to the other, "I love how this city just lets people tan wherever". FML
Today, while at school, I slipped on a wet patch in the hall and fell over, smacking my head against the floor. I laid there for a good five minutes in agonizing pain while people literally walked over me. Not a single person bothered to help me up or ask if I was okay. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. It wasn't all that embarrassing, until I walked two more feet and slipped again. The second time, a man pulled over and loudly asked if I was drunk. FML
Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML
Today, I fainted on the sidewalk. When I woke up, I was still lying on the sidewalk, people were stepping over me and my purse was gone. FML
Today, I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. As I did, a car that was passing by stopped, made a U-turn, and then came back so the people inside could laugh at me. When they were done taunting me, they made another U-turn and continued back in their original direction. FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

obviously he's alright if he's bitching on FML. stupid, though. obviously, most people have things to be doing, people to be seeing, none of which include helping a stranger who fell on the sidewalk.

#13, even if your going to meet up for lunch with your friends, if you stop to help someone who collapsed, they arent going to be bad if your five minutes late for helping someone in danger.

Yeah totally agree. Drinking water is one of the LESS difficult challenges we face on a day to day basis...

let me get this straight: it took u to fall before u realized this conclusion? i could have told u that for free well before it happened. at least this way u wouldnt be in shock when no one came to ur rescue.

I agree. YDI for not staying hydrated.

People on the sidewalk maybe should have done something...but driving. I don't think that many people noticed, and if they did, they probably thought you just tripped or something. I mean, would you really just pull over because somebody tripped? Dehydration really isn't just plain obvious from a distance.

YDI for getting dehydrated in a city that, I expect, has water.

@13 wouldnt YOU want ppl 2 help u if u fainted.. or would u want them 2 be like "eh ive got people 2 see; things 2 do...so i wont help this person" im pretty sure u'd want the 1st choice. -_- #13 u should try 2 live a life from a different prescriptive and learn 2 help ppl and dont get so wrapped up in ur useless, dumb shit. cuz in the end, it wont matter how much money u have, or the nice cars uve bought..what really matters is that uve made an impact on ppl...i feel bad 4 u #13... i really do.

I actually don't remember...

Well start remembering, b*tch, cuz thats the way the cookie crumbles, and if you are so preoccupied in your own world, that you can't remember you loving grandma, who did nothing but love you and feed you cookies, and sing soothing songs when you were riding your bike to fast and fell over the log your brother threw in front of your tire, well than i have to say, there is pity and longing in my heart that you will someday see how it is to not know the pain of someone forgetting you... It's a pain that drives people insane, there brains can't take the strain from the drivers who always switch lanes because they are lame and wasted while driving home. Those people also forgot about their grandmothers and now they were forgotten, and are in as much pain as ever, so please don't forget. For your sake, i want to help you out remember... remember...(in deep mufasa voice, as simba is running to the cloud to try and talk to him but he won't turn around for some reason, he just keeps leaving his son like it's no big deal... punk)

"Oh look...someone fell down...hmm that's nice." Lol. Sucky. But it's not like you were dying or anything. I'm glad you're well enough to write this down. If you were seriously hurt and no one helped...that'd be sad.

They didn't know the person wasn't seriously hurt when they walked by.

Thats the problem these days...not alot of people do anything good for others. Yeah you're fine but that doesnt change that nobody really helped you. One more..YDI for not being hydrated, drink water!

Today, I found out that just because you give someone water, you can't expect them to drink it. I thought everyone knew that. FML. Btw, I'm just kidding. It is really hot these days.

People are just so optimistic, they know you're going to be okay!
