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?

I think the real FML here guys is that nobody came to help her in her time of need either that or the hydration part. But either way FYL and YDI.

Next time, do stay hydrated. You're in Texas, you should know how hot it is.

This summer in Texas has been bitch-tastically hot. I had an outdoor job this summer and got sent home early one day because of overheating. Sometimes its not possible to stay hydrated as you can only carry so much water with you. I'd already gone through 3 liters of water and this happened around 10:30 AM. OP, I feel your pain. Texas weather is a moody bitch.

YDI. You should drink more water or more of SOME liquid. Dumbass. Figures though. -Sigh. Stupid Texans.

Ok well considering someone is driving they r not always gonna be able to be looking to the side and see " oh look someone fainted" they need to llook in front. But someone walking by should at least hve checked to see if u were ok.

Some people seem to think that because they drink things like soda and other sugary beverages, they're covered in hydration. But they're not. That might have been the OP's case (haha, I almost wrote cake). Also, some people ... eh, I don't know how to put it... they get dehydrated fairly easily, for medical reasons and such. I'm one of those people. So, the OP could have been going for a while and had run out of water... though I don't know where in the world that would have happened, unless OP was walking along a highway, but I've never heard of a highway that has sidewalks. I suppose it could have been a residential area, though... As for the OP, that sucks a lot. People tend to do that, though. You're fine now, and hopefully wiser, at least.

YDI for not drinking water, dumbass. I mean, seriously, wouldn't you get thirsty and go "hmm I should drink something, before I die of dehydration" but instead you went "hmm I'm thirsty, ehh screw it, im not fat enough to fall on the sidewalk of dehydration"

That's right! The OP is a dehydration SURVIVOR.
