Today, I got hit by a car while riding my bike to work. In the hospital, every single nurse lectured me about how I wouldn't be here if I wore a helmet, which I'm sure would be really helpful to my broken leg. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sent to the hospital after being hit by a car while on my bicycle. The police officer said it was my fault for not looking, even though the car pulled up without looking. I now have a small herniated disc in my neck and abrasions on my thigh. FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML
Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML
Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML
Today, I was riding an electric scooter on my way to work when a car sped out of a driveway and hit me. Not only did I end up in hospital, but I missed my job on the second day back. FML
Today, I'm recovering from a bad motorcycle crash that could have cost me my life. A truck pulled out in front of me while going 60. Luckily I only have a broken arm and a fractured sternum. I was just notified by my attorney that the guy at fault has no insurance or assets to his name. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, after I fell over and fractured my knee, I've been in hospital for a week. I now have a metal plate in my knee, and am due to be off work for months, I wouldn't mind as much if I hadn't been hit by a car two years ago, spent a week in hospital for a fractured vertebrae, and was off work for months. FML
Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It wouldn't help your leg, but you should be wearing one!

Well, you should wear a helmet. Having been hit it should make you think, "what if I had hit my head?", you'd be a lot worse off than you are having broken your leg. But, the lectures about how it would have kept you out of the hospital are kind of stupid in this case; they aren't wrong that you should wear a helmet, but it doesn't help your leg.

do you wear a helmet in a car? did you know that there are more head injuries in cars than bicycles and that most of them could be saved by wearing a helmet?

Did that nurse study from the wrong textbook, too?

I would've lied and said I had been wearing a helmet to shut them up... and then started wearing a helmet once my leg healed.

Fun fact: you are actually more likely to be hit by a car if you're wearing a helmet.

Is it because your more noticeable and you give something for the drivers to aim at?

You sound like someone from the Netherlands. That's our opinion of people with helmets as well haha. But I get wearing a helmet in some cities where there are no cycling lanes and stuff like that.

I don't get the name. I know what a TARDIS is. I just don't get the user name.

Helmet and maybe knee pads and whatever else wouldn't be a bad idea
