Today, I had just bought a new $60 basketball and decided to go try it out. Five minutes into playing, the ball decided to roll into the hands of a little girl, who then said, "Mine!" I thought it was cute, until she skipped over to her parent's car, and they drove off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was picking my daughter up at day care. She was outside playing kick ball. A red ball rolls over to me, and trying to impress the kids, I kicked it over the slide. I turn around to see three crying six year olds. It was their hamster ball. FML
Today, I went to a hockey game. While warm-ups were happening, my favourite player pointed at me and tossed me a puck. It bounced off my hand into another girl's, who was a fan of the other team. She refused to give it back, then walked away and said, "I can't wait to sell this on eBay." FML
Today, I was playing basketball outside in my driveway. I saw three cute girls walking by, so I thought I would try to show off a little by doing a backwards slam dunk. I jumped, completely missed the rim and hit my head on the backboard. Then my mom ran out to help me up. FML
Today, a ball rolled up to me, so I picked it up and threw it over the school wall. A little boy who was behind me asked for his ball back. It's Sunday and the school is closed. FML
Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML
Today, I was in the park for a walk when a ball rolled to my feet. Figuring it belonged to the kids not far off, I wound back and kicked. The ball had actually been kicked by someone else for their dog to chase and I ended up punting it in the head. FML
Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML
Today, while playing basketball, my friend thanked me for passing the ball to him. I was too embarrassed to tell him that that was me shooting. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in our company gym. I took a shot from half court, and at that exact moment, an executive walked into the gym with an important potential client. My shot bounced off the side of the backboard, off some bleachers, and right into the client's head. FML
Today, I tried to show off my basketball skills to a cute girl at the park. I went up for a dunk and ended up getting stuck in the net, hanging upside down while everyone laughed at me. FML

Selfish little girl. Why didn't you run and take the ball away from her as soon as she grabbed it?

What's a B&E? Bacon and Eggs?

It's "breaking and entering". Though bacon and eggs sound amazing right now.

I think we are missing one point here,.. Who spends $60 on a basketball? I mean does it come with a three-on-three pick up team???

If I pay $60 for a B-Ball, I want auto-aim in that b****!
DrDilllonReese 12
A quality ball such as a spalding or wilson evolution usually costs around that. If you're serious about basketball you'd be willing to pay it.
Spottedfeather 7
You have to be mentally deficient to spend 60 dollars on a Basketball. Some with those morons who pay hundreds of dollars for clothes or sunglasses.

40 I was referring to a joke by a popular comedian.
DrDilllonReese 12
86- I take it you've never walked into a sporting goods store and seen the price of a sporting goods store and looked at the price of a basketball. Actually, I doubt you've ever been in a sports store but besides the point. The cheapest, most poor quality ball they carry is bound to run you $20 or $30.

David cook right. Or is it Dave Cook? Or did he steal that joke from another person? I'm sorry I don't know comedians that well.

No, before she got into the car though.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
34-it's not like OP knew the little girl. Contacting the little girl is not possible. Plus, I'm pretty sure OP would get some sort of punishment for threatening an innocent child.
Welshite 40
People, I did not say that OP run over and threaten the girl with violence if she didn't hand over the ball. It's possible to run over and politely ask for the ball and get it back that way, you know.

41- Innocent? I think not.

I have acquired a particular set of skills over the years, skills that are used to find people like you. If you don't give me my ball back, I will find you, and I will kill you. . .

44 no one is talking about you. The messages about threatening the little girl are aimed at 34

46- I'm pretty sure that's what 34 was referring to before everyone down voted him into FML Hell. xD

*sigh* After reading 122's comment, I'm wondering if anyone got the reference.

I hope you caught the license plate.

That is stealing, so call the police (and warn a brother)

Just be happy she didn't beat you up for it

Well, she has one now.

I see whay you did there...

35- if you're going to put the stupid classic comment "I see what you did there", at least spell it right.

So you're saying she got all the way to a car with your new 60 dollar ball, and you didn't see it coming? YDI
Thizzkidsgotgame 7
He obviously didnt expect them to actually drive away with it

And her parents didn't notice she suddenly had a basketball?

Some parents do not raise their kids right.

"oh honey look, Susie found a brand new basketball"
kooochris1995 14
I think the parents might have made her steal it and told her to run back. You never know!
SweetAsHell 9
It's possible her parents have been plotting this moment all along. They really wanted this mans basketball.
rahrah765765 11
She's just lucky she grabbed the right ball then...
