Today, I failed a basic intelligence test when the mouse trap I was setting up snapped on my thumb. Later, when I checked the trap I saw that the mouse had managed to lick all the bait off the trap without being caught, I have a sore thumb and was outsmarted by a rodent. FML

Today, I set up a mouse trap to kill the rodent plaguing my kitchen. While lying in bed, I heard an unmistakable snap, and ran to see what I'd caught. The mouse trap was missing. I now have a large, angry, and possibly dying animal running around my house. FML

Today, I set a trap to catch a mouse that ran across my foot. Not only did the trap shut on my finger twice, but I watched the mouse run over the trap without it snapping shut. I guess I have a new roommate. FML

Today, I smashed my finger with a hammer. A finger on the hand holding the hammer. FML

Today, I was cleaning out the crawlspace and set a mousetrap off with my testicles. FML

Today, I was setting up a rat trap at the kitchen table and had just gotten it set when my phone rang. I foolishly leaned over to grab my phone, brushed against the trap, and it snapped closed on my nipple. I wasn’t wearing a bra so that thing grabbed my nipple hard and didn’t let go. FML

Today, I hit my toe against a table. Out of frustration, I kicked the table and broke my little toe. FML

Today, I dropped my remote behind the bed and went to reach for it. Instead of the remote, I grabbed hold of a rat carcass that must have got in when builders were working in my bathroom several weeks ago. FML

Today, at 9 o’clock in the morning while I was working, I made the mistake of being comfortable with a machine that literally bends and breaks steel bars. I lost my entire middle finger and the top third of my pinky and ring fingers. FML

Karma is a bitch. Try harming some living creature and nature snaps back, literally.

I think it would be more ironic if the rat set up a human trap which severely damaged the OP. But that's just me.

71---dude omg hahahaha that's some funny shit!

It's more a bad turn of events than irony. In fact it's not really ironic at all.

its a rat you don't deserve a broken finger for killing it. do you know What happens when you don't kill of a pestilential animal? mass disease.
LivyGirl0611 9
Rats themselves don't spread diseases, like most people believe. The fleas that live on rats-as well as other animals-spread the disease.

#91: does it matter? That's just the mechanism by which rats spread disease. The end result is the same - if you don't want people to die of disease you need to control the rat population.

It's not stupidity, it's called an accident. Everyones been snapped by them at one point.

OP, I am proud to say I've never had that happen to me. Although I am sorry about your finger. Hope you catch the rat.

I would eat nachos at a show like that..

I had a rap trap snap on my thumb once. Hurt like hell for a few days, but it wasn't broken. Did you get the rat? Because I didn't. It's been 5 months.

you got the moves like jagger

He fractured his finger in a mouse trap as well?

4- In my opinion that song is the worst song in recent memory. It is very repetitive, and it's lyrics are shit in the first place. Those two aspects blended with overwhelming amounts of mainstreamness do not bode well for a song. I like some songs by Maroon 5, but that song is NOT one of them.
cBlackout 13
31, all little kids like that song for some reason. It's incredibly annoying, but it's probably not gonna stop soon.
Ecklcakes 15
Well you got moobs like Jabba.
kayray2626 5
31- No, I'm not a fan of this song either. it just came to mind when I read it.
emmanizzer 6
I don't really mind the song. It's just a really different turn for Maroon 5. A turn I'm not particularly fond of bands taking.

21- A RAT trap. Significantly larger and more powerful than a mouse trap.

#73 That's brilliant, I will now think of those alternate lyrics whenever I hear this song...

Like Tom & Jerry? :D

didnt tom get his dick stuck in a mouse trap?
Ecklcakes 15
I think that Tom's main issue in the show was that he didn't ever try just one normal mousetrap. Though doubtless it would have ended in hilarity and pain.

74- Tom tried many mousetraps, and it did end in hilarity. My brother and I laughed so hard!!!!! XD I'm laughing just thinking about it!

I guess that's 1 for the rats.

how do you even do that?

OP is a clutz?

If you have used one you would understand. OP was just unlucky enough to actually break something. I have stood on a mousetrap at least three times myself.
docscientist 10
It's a mousetrap... They're pretty easy to trigger.
niiick97_fml 3
No. It's a rat trap. They are much bigger and stronger. I have came close to doing the same thing a couple of times.
G97Alex 21
How do you fracture your finger with a rat trap? Very painfully.
StoryOfTheYear 15
I did that once too, that game is so hard to set up. Nobody even plays it to win really; we just like to watch the trap thingy go throu.... Oh. Rat trap. Never mind.
jwade11 12
What are u getting at?
white16sox 19
92 it's an old board game that is rather complicated to set up. It's very fun though.
brianjman14 23
I loved that game when I was younger. I wonder if I still have it...

Isn't it called Mouse Trap? I don't mean this as an unnecessary correction, I'm just unsure and want to know for myself.
StoryOfTheYear 15
That was the point of my comment. I was making a joke that he got hurt setting up a rat trap and the game mouse trap is actually rather difficult to set up.

Something is fishy about this FML.... I just can't put my finger on it- Oh yeah, it is the fact that you are a dumbass. FYL and YDI because you are a (see word dumbass).

There's something fishy about his comment... oh yeah! You're a douchebag!
_Oblivion_ 12
Ok asshole please tell me how I am a dumbass for doing that
Llama_Face89 34
It isn't hard to break your finger in a rat trap. They're actually easier to trigger and harder to set up than a mouse trap in my opinion and the spring is wound A LOT tighter. They're made to break the necks of large rats. Fingers don't stand much more of a chance.
