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

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

When you start feeling dehydrated you seriously need to make getting water your primary goal. But hey sometimes dehydration just sneaks up on you. However if I saw someone just randomly collapse on the street I would go check it out and see if they were ok. They could be having a heart attack, a stroke, an allergic reaction (like a bee sting or something..idk i guess it could happen like that), or an asthma attack. I have really bad exercise induced asthma. If I ever had a really bad attack from my asthma I would be in huge trouble if no one felt the need help. Its really scary when things like that happen to you.

@Doc: That is why I said it depends on your subject, lol. For example, a .gov website would be a good place to get a copy of a law document, but you wouldn't necessarily rely on the site's statement/opinion/intent of the law. Obviously, books are usually the best, and of course looking up cited works is also a smart thing. You have a point about the rumor having no basis itself, of course. But like I said, I never thought soda to be harmful to your hydration, just that it's not an excellent source for hydration. Kind of like how... sure, ice cream can be a dairy source, but it's not the best.

People here in Texas can barely drive let alone pay attention to others around them. Be glad no one decided to make a turn or that over you was the quickest way to get wherever they were going. I was running on a trail in a major park in Houston, and twice almost got hit by a--holes who decided to drive through the grass and trees to get to the street on the other-side. They couldn't wait to drive to the end of the block 100 feet up. FYL, but seriously Hydrate or die in this heat Miss. Water is your friend, carry it with you.

Your whole story would have been moot if you would have drank some water. I mean come on it's not like you live in a third world country with no indoor tap. Or you could have bought a bottle of water.

YDI for not staying hydrated, seriously it's like the easiest thing on the planet. And how would you know no one was helping you while you were unconscious.
