Today, I had to cut short my New Year's resolution of going to the gym daily, when the meathead next to me dropped some heavy weights, which bounced and landed on my foot. I'm sitting at home in a cast. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried a new workout routine at the gym. I was feeling great until I dropped a big-ass weight on my foot and had to go to the hospital. After hours of waiting, the doctor told me that I had a broken toe and would need to wear a cast for six weeks. The worst part? I have a job interview next week. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML
Today, my first day of going to the gym, some gym bro dropped his weights, which you’re not supposed to do, right on the top of my foot. I have complex crush fractures in most of my foot bones, I’m going to need surgeries, probably metal pins, and I can’t put weight on it for months. FML
Today, the lights went out at the gym while I was holding a heavy bar. I tried to put it back on the rack, missed, and dropped it on my toe. Then, as I was limping around in pain, I hit my head on one of the other bars on a rack at head height. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. Feeling pumped, I grabbed what I thought was a light dumbbell. It wasn’t. I dropped it on my toe and screamed so loud that the gym bros around me stopped mid-workout to stare at me. FML
Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML
Today, after spending the day at work avoiding all hard manual tasks that may harm me, I had a table dropped on my foot. I broke my toe, split my nail and had to get a tetanus shot. I was avoiding injury as I was supposed to be performing in a figure skating exhibition this evening. FML
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, I went out with my friends. As I was heading home late, I heard the stop light beeping, meaning I could go, but some cocky prick thought he could drive past before I walked, but nope, I was met with his tire as it ran over my foot. Now I have to go to school with a cast on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Jesus **** people, it was an accident. Bad stuff happens all the time, but the reason the legal system in the US is so ****** up is frivolous lawsuits like this.

Don't worry, everyone gives up on that resolution for some reason or another.

No worries. It would of happened for some other reason. I don't understand why people make them. I should buy a gym, I'd make all my profit for the entire year in January alone!!!!

I think that the 'meathead' didn't mean to. If he did mean to than thats very rude of him and you have the right to be mad. Sorry about your foot. :/

Yeah, this is just an extra challenge. Keep going to the gym. Dont give a **** what people think. Just go and work out your upper body. Also, take the cast off early, don't be a lil girl.

Well if he actually knows how to lift wieghts, he should have had a spotter help him crash the bar

Hmm, "if he actually knows how to lift weights, he should have a spotter help him crash the bar." Well sir, if you knew anything about weightlifting it would be quite easy to infer that this accident didn't occur because of the "bar" and "plate weights". Although it can happen, but if it did it'd be OP's fault for being a dumbass for standing in the danger area, and I doubt he'd post this on FML. So they were most likely at the dumbbell rack, and you've most likely never really worked out. Don't comment.
