Today, I saw the girl that I've had a crush on forever riding her horse on the side of the road. She waved, and without thinking, I honked my horn in response. Her horse bucked her off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my crush and I were volunteering at a local farm. He confessed to me that I'm one of the most beautiful girls he's ever seen. Just as he leaned in to kiss me, I lost my footing and fell into a pile of horse shit. He just stood there, pointing and laughing. FML
Today, I pulled my motorcycle into a wheelie when my crush drove by. She was the one who drove me to the hospital when I went over backward. FML
Today, I was riding my newly trained horse. I've recently been suffering from bad gas, and ended up farting so violently, it spooked my horse into bucking me off and running away. FML
Today, I went horseback riding with this guy I like. I asked him to help me get on the horse. I slipped, and while trying to keep my balance, I kicked him in the face. FML
Today, my horse farted and scared itself, then ran all the way up the hill and wouldn't stop until I fell off. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a hill and noticed a pretty girl sitting at the bus stop. I guess I was staring pretty hard, because the next thing I knew, I was swerving off the road and smashing into a tree. She laughed at me. FML
Today, I saw my crush waving me over from the other end of the parking lot. I ran quickly to greet him, but in my excitement didn't take note of the giant Hummer backing out. I broke two ribs and all my crush was trying to do was warn me of the moving vehicle I was about to run into. FML
Today, I waved at my crush, but he waved at someone behind me. FML
Today, I was riding my long board. A few feet from me an attractive girl was riding one too, in the same direction. We made eye contact right as I slammed into a light pole. She then fell because she was laughing so hard. FML
Today, I saw my crush walking on the other side of the street. She hadn't noticed me, so when she did I nonchalantly looked over and casually waved to look cool. I then walked right into a lamp post. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Help her up, ask if she's ok, get the horseback ( if it ran away), laugh about the incident, invite her to coffee ( though I prefer hot chocolate), and you take it from there op

#40: "I read a post online and didn't think through its typo, a simple missing space that was made clear by the parenthetical comment immediately after it. So I posted a declasse ad hominem attack in response. People downvoted me. FML."

#36, What century? Hello, dressage...

36- I live in a farm community and people ride their horses along the side of the road all the time. We have a tradition of riding your horse to school on the last day. We also have high school rodeo teams and junior rodeo for younger kids, get together with neighbors to gather and brand cattle, and just ride for fun or to exercise our horses (like walking the dog). OP- That was thoughtless of you, but she should've known better. Never ride a horse that's easily spooked close to a road. Anything can happen and you want to know your mount will stay calm. I once had a jerk through a beer bottle at me while riding.

Give a girl a box of chocolates and she'll love you for a night, give a girl a concussion and she'll love you forever kind of logic, huh?

Ouch bro, just ouch lol

I'm pretty sure she thinks you're a moron and would never go out with you, now. I wouldn't. I don't say that to be mean, just that she could've been majorly hurt. That was beyond dumb.

Damn, I would be pissed at you. Not for making me fall off the horse, but for scaring my horse. I hope she was on dirt and not cement.

You should NEVER honk you car around horses. If just seeing a girl you like makes you forget basic driving laws then maybe you shouldn't be on the road. F her life and F her horse's life.

Oh shut up!!!!

True, one shouldn't honk around horses, though I doubt that's a law in most places. But to be fair, one should never ride a horse along a road if that horse will be so badly spooked by honking or other car sounds.

OP, you shouldn't have honked. But she also should have made sure her horse had been trained to deal with all sorts of things that also come walking near the road. Including fast-moving cars, car horns, etc.
doodlecloud 27
True, she should have trained her horse more but that doesn't excuse OPs stupid behaviour. And 'reject214'....I think your name says it all. If you ever get hurt because of a dangerous driver, whilst I hope you're not seriously hurt, I do hope someone tells you 'oh shut up'!

Also, sorry if that's not the law/generally excepted practice where you live. I don't want to be ignorant of other country's laws, it's just that British guidelines which I'm familiar with are that motorists should never honk their horns or rev their engines, should slow down and give them plenty of room when overtaking and that they should be prepared for both riders and horses that are inexperienced or nervous NOT just those that are experienced.

As a rider myself, YDI.

That's exactly what I thought. It's just common sense not to honk a car horn around horses...
Hiimhaileypotter 53
There will, however, always be people who do; whether because they're just being assholes or as a signal to get someone's attention. That's why I would prefer to have a horse that's bombproof because of training and so won't react badly, instead of hoping people won't do something to spook the horse.

If your horse is too dumb and/or poorly trained to understand that sound won't kill it, and that murdering its rider wouldn't prevent that even if so, you really shouldn't be taking it to a place where people might have legitimate reasons to be making loud noises. Car horns are a warning system. If you're going to be around cars, people might have cause to employ that warning system.
