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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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. .__.

I don't think the OP is saying FML over having to pay the $4... I think it's about having such a cheap ass bitch for a mother

To those of you going on and on about how OP's a wuss for going to the ER for a sprained ankle, you need to consider that it could have been such a severe and painful sprain that she wanted to be sure it wasn't broken. Sometimes sprains can be just as bad or even worse than fractures. If you break a bone, or tear a ligament/tendon and don't get medical attention right away, permanent damage could be done. I know this from personal experience: in 6th grade I fell off a wall and landed on my ankle weird. My parents told me "it's just a sprain, you'll be fine" and didn't take me to the doctor until a week had passed. Turns out it was broken AND sprained, and the wait meant that the fracture had healed wrong. Now I'm 19 and have arthritis in my ankle because I didn't get medical attention in time. I agree that posting an FML about a mere $4 is kind of overreacting, but maybe the point was the mom's lack of sympathy in the situation. Like, the OP perceived it as being a kind of slap in the face: "I don't care that you sprained your ankle, now pay me for parking". I say this is neither an FML or a YDI. It's more of a YOR (You Over-Reacted).

You win. It's not that OP has to pay the money, it's the lack of sympathy.

You went to the ER for a sprained ankle?! You deserve to pay that $4 for parking because your mom is going to get a huge bill from the hospital with something you could have easily sucked up and stayed off of for a few hours and probably would have felt much better. grow up

What if OP is over 18/pays her own medical bills. So OP is stuck paying whatever. ER fee, plus seeing the doctor, plus whatever pain meds they may or may not have given (which are usually more expensive at the hospital) plus who knows what else. I can't say that I'd really like for my mom to give me a hard time about money right afterward, when I'm probably already stressing about the $1000+ I have to pay.
