Today, I slipped on the new snow and sprained my ankle. As my mom and I were leaving the emergency room, she says, "You owe me $4 for parking," and she meant it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I slipped on the ice in front of my apartment, spraining my ankle and cracking a rib. While I laid on the ground immediately after, my neighbor chewed me out for saying "shit" in front of her 4-year-old on my way down. FML
Today, I slipped walking down the stairs. My mom thought I sprained my right ankle. In her haste to get me to the doctor, she grabbed me and accidentally tripped me. I broke my left ankle. The right one was fine. FML
Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML
Today, my mom and I were running late for school, and she got pretty stuck in the snow so she asked me to dig her out. Then she ran over my foot. As I got into the car and blamed her for what she'd done, she shouted at me that she couldn't care less, and that we had to hurry. FML
Today, I tripped over a "Caution: Slippery When Wet" floor sign and sprained my ankle. FML
Today, I walked out to my car to see four kids taking the hubcaps, radio, and license plates off of my truck. I chased them six blocks until I tripped and twisted my ankle. I limped back to my car and found a ticket on my windshield for $55 dollars. The reason? Missing license plates. FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I walked across my kitchen to go get my mom a blanket after she shoveled snow. I slipped and caught the kitchen chair with my side, landed on the floor and almost fracturing my knee cap. She then told me she wasn't cold. FML
Today, I was studying on a bench outside my dorm when the leg snapped. I decided to do the right thing and let administration know what happened. After assuring me it wasn't my fault, and having me fill out an incident report, they billed me $400. I can't enroll for next semester until I pay. FML

Seriously? She can't drop four bucks on you, after you've been injured, no less? Your mom is one stingy-ass bitch.

Just shut up and pay the parking fee. It's not like you cant pay it off. Just remember this when she breaks a hip and tell her shes paying the parking fee. .__.

This sounds like something a frustrated mother would say out of annoyance when her kid repeatedly ignores her warnings that it is dangerous to walk in certain locations after it has snowed. The kid does it anyway, and viola, gets hurt. If this is an accurate reflection of the OP's behavior and he/she still created an FML about it, the OP's completely ignorant of his/her own accountability in this situation.

Okay, so I dont know why everyone is automatically assuming the mother is paying for the visit. For all we know, OP could be an independent adult. - OP could lived out of state adn have flown in to visit her mom, which means no car, but also pays own medical bills. - OP might live nearby, and usually take public transportation because they have no car, but it was more convenient to get a ride with mom. - OP may have not realized what was wrong with her ankle, besides a lot of pain, and was afraid to drive on it (if it was the right one) and asked their mom for a ride. I know quite a few people in each of the second two situations, and I have personally been in the first one.... except I never hurt myself on vacation. Though that would suck. I know that If I were in one of the above situations and my mom couldn't swallow the four bucks, I'd be a bit annoyed, unless there was a legitimate reason. (i.e. just lost job and trying to save every possible penny, until they get a new one, or is in debt, or living on a very specific budget with no room for this)

What is everybody's problem?? IT'S 4 BUCKS. Mom is one stingy bitch if she's just that concerned over 4 bucks. A sprained ankle hurts so yay to all of you who don't think it's a big deal. The OP might've been in pain.

Have you ever gotten a sprained ankle? I do track every year and I've sprained my ankle a total of 3 times. All you have to do is wrap it up and place ice on it. You do not need to go to the hospital and spend around $200 for them to do the same. Hospital bills are freaking expensive. Also, for all you know, the mother probably didn't have any more cash on hand or extra money to spend after paying hundreds of dollars for the hospital visit.

Did you have the 4 bucks or not? 'cause if she made you walk home for not paying up, now that would be a FML.
