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

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

Yeah, you should get a helmet for your leg.

And you wouldn't have said stop as a reply to all of the above.

When I was little my friend got hit by a car on his bike, the doctors said the helmet saved his life. They passed a law for mandatory helmets for minors because of the incident. Sorry about your leg but, safety first; where a helmet.

Well, were you wearing a helmet? You should always wear a helmet while riding a bike. And look both ways. Of course, some people completely disregard cyclists, so it could be the fault of whoever was driving the car. But it sucks either way that you have a broken leg as a souvenir. FYL

You're lucky that it was only your leg.

About 3 months ago I crashed my bike. Got 8 new scars, there's a twig somewhere in my hand, and I think I dented my kneecaps (Collagen disorder, everything is soft). My helmet is what stopped me breaking my nose, even if it didn't stop a rock nearly going through my lip, and I busted my helmet pretty badly. It was a good strong one, if it wasn't enough to stop me doing more than grazing my nose when I faceplanted into a gravel patch I would have a whole face full of rocks. I was going downhill on an electric bike somewhere between 12 and 20 kmph, not entirely sure, the spedometer only works when the throttle is on. As for how I crashed, well, I dropped my MP3 and my first reaction was to clench the hand holding it... Which had its fingers over the front brake. The helmet was cracked right through, too.

Yeah, my inch thick helmet didn't save me from a rock through my lip or a rock in my knee. My yoga pants stretched and kept the wound clean, at least.

Hospitals be like: ok lets see you have branches sticking out of both eyes, missing an arm, and are vomiting blood. Let's check your blood pressure first tho.
