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

YDI for not staying hydrated and FYL for being so retarded as to forget to drink water or something equivalent. You are a sad sad person

Haha! Sort of the same thing happened to me yesterday! I was just on the edge of passing out on the sidewalk (combination of low blood pressure from having just donated blood and an uphill walk in 35`C weather). Fortunately for me however, people did stop, sat with me until it passed and even bought me some juice and lunch. Sometimes people are good. FYL.

oh no people didn't immediately stop their cars and get out to check if I was okay even though they might've been in a hurry/had important business and they had no way of knowing that it was a dehydration collapse rather than just simply being tired and resting as it would appear to them. suck it up OP. also YDI for not drinking water anyway.

It's because you live in Texas, and Texas blows.

I'm pretty sure if she's a Texas native, as I am, she WAS drinking water, though I've had experiences in which I've had numerous bottles of water and still got a little woozy from this heat. How do any of y'all know if she was drinking water or not? [But I do agree if she wasn't it was her fault lol] Also, people saying anything along the lines of "how do you know no one helped you if you were passed out?" need to realize that there is a difference between just collapsing and totally passing out. All of the theories of people saying that the drivers/passers by thought you tripped or something are pretty plausible, though it all depends how long you stayed down. And #158, I'm pretty sure it's klutz, not clutz.

Anyone heard of the Good Samaritan? Doesn't matter if the writer shouldn't have passed out. No shit she shouldn't have. It's still unrighteous and wrong for people to ignore you when you pass out.
