Today, I paid $50 to go to a war museum. It was so boring that I fell asleep standing up, lost my balance and faceplanted the floor right in front of our tour guide. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a date at a museum, I thought it would be low-pressure. It was going well until I leaned in to read a plaque, tripped, and nearly took down a rope barrier. My date caught me by the arm, asked if I was OK, then spent the next 10 minutes pretending not to notice I'd knocked over a gift shop display with my backpack. FML
Today, I arrived at a cheap but nice hotel. I normally couldn't pay for it, but it was only slightly more expensive than camping, so I decided to treat myself. Ten minutes after arriving, I felt dizzy while standing in the bathroom, sat down on the toilet, and broke the lid almost in half. It'll cost me 50 euros extra. FML
Today, I went into a shop, not really completely awake. To get to the upper floor, I took the escalator... in the wrong direction. After about 30 seconds (which seemed like hours) trying to climb up the wrong way, my brain started working and by that time I already had a few amused spectators watching me. FML
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML
Today, I was let down for a movie date. As I'd already paid for the tickets, I got my narcoleptic sister to come and sit next to me while she slept, so it didn't look like I came on my own. FML
Today, I went to the yearly town carnival with my friends. I hadn't slept well the night before and when I got onto the scariest ride, I somehow fell half asleep. I woke up upside down and ended up peeing myself in terror. FML
Today, I'd planned on treating myself to a spa day. I'd booked a massage and was so relaxed that I fell asleep during it. When I woke up, I realized that I had drooled all over the massage table. FML
Today, I attended a Buddhist prayer service for my religion and philosophy course. When the service was over, everyone stood up. Unfortunately, my legs and feet had fallen asleep so much that I lost balance and tackled a monk into the shrine. I'm expected to pay for injuries and damages. FML
Today, I took a train to visit a friend and fell asleep for what felt like ten minutes. I woke up at the final stop with the carriage empty. The doors opened, I stepped onto the platform, and immediately realized I had no idea where I was or how I'd got there. FML
Today, I woke up in the hallway. I took a sleeping pill the night before to get a good sleep in for work, but it turns out it was too strong. I got dizzy and passed out on my way to my bed, fell in the hall and chipped my two front teeth, and slept there - straight through work the next day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It could've been worse, you could've been in the bayonet section!

Plant your face in a soldier's shoes.

Go to sleep earlier? Drink coffee?

@4: They said they were bored, not tired. I don't think going to sleep earlier would have helped any.

Yea but boredom doesn't put you to sleep unless you're incredibly tired.

If its boring why did you want to go in the first place

Maybe it was just the way the tour guide was presenting. I adore history but if someone were to explain it to me in a really monotone and boring way, I'd fall asleep too.

Maybe op wasn't aware that the museum would be boring.

Going somewhere slightly boring fair enough, paying $50 is the real mistake

You should've said that you were paying tribute to the soldiers who fought the war :D

Thanks for the visual lmao, in all seriousness though I hope you didn't get hurt too badly.

If you were embarrassed about falling asleep, you should've told them you fainted.

I love history!!!! Since OP is from Vietnam, I'll assume it's about the Vietnam war, which is one of the most interesting and devastating part of history. I would love to visit that museum

I know exactly what museum you are talking about it. Honestly I loved it.

OP is posting from Ha Noi, which suggests that they're touring the infamous Hoa Lo Prison, known to US troops as the "Hanoi Hilton".
