Today, I thought it would be a smart idea to walk out on the pier while the waves were 6 feet tall. I was having fun getting "splashed" by the waves crashing over until one wave knocked me over and dragged me 20 feet across the hard concrete pier. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at the beach, I swam pretty far out into the ocean. I ended up getting pummelled by the waves and got a painful cramp in my leg. The whole beach watched me flail and scream, while my friends rolled their eyes as they dragged me out of the water. FML
Today, I was at the water park, when I slipped and fell to the ground in front of the no running sign. I was walking. FML
Today, I was leaving work after a storm. They're building some new offices outside, so I had to walk on an uneven path near the construction zone. I came to a big puddle and tried to jump across to what I thought was a piece of asphalt. It was mud. I slipped and fell backwards into the puddle. FML
Today, it was an extremely hot day so I hit up the beach for a swim. Just as I entered the water, the first wave approached me. I tried to jump it and lost my footing, managing to dislocate my hip. I had to be dragged from the water by the lifeguards. FML
Today, I nearly drowned. I was at a wave pool for the first time and stupidly swam out to the deep end. When the waves turned on, I discovered I can't swim in rough water. Despite my yelling, "Help!" and flailing around, the lifeguard paid me no attention. My friend had to save me. FML
Today, while I was at the beach I decided to go into the ocean even though the waves looked rough. While I was in the water, I got caught by the riptide and needed to be saved. The reason I was at the beach? I'm a lifeguard. Now all my co-workers won't stop laughing at me. FML
Today, me and my friend were following this hot lifeguard around a waterpark. In the wave pool, I decided to be cute and "accidentally" bump into him during the waves to start a conversation. As I prepared to do this, a large wave pushed me off my feet and I fell face-first into his butt. FML
Today, I went tanning on the beach. I found a nice spot close to shore and laid there with my towel and sunglasses. A few hours later, I awoke to waves splashing at me. My towel was soaked and my sunglasses must have washed off the shore. Damn high tide. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my friend. We figured it'd be awesome if I jumped from my kayak straight into his. Sounded good in theory. One flipped kayak, a pair of lost glasses, and a humiliating swim back to shore later, I'm starting to think it wasn't the best idea. FML
Today, I was working when a forklift came speeding out a trailer without honking. I jumped out the way, only to trip over something and fall out the dock door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"Today, I thought it would be a smart idea to walk out on the pier while the waves were 6 feet tall." See, I don't even need to read the rest before giving you a YDI.

OP: I'm from Michigan; I live in a town on Lake Michigan which has a pier. You are an IDIOT! You completely deserved this and if you had drowned it would've been natural selection!

You're lucky it didn't sweep you off the pier and out into deep water. You could have died. Think of this experience as the opposite of a FML.

It very much was not a smart IDEA AT ALL!!!!! You are very lucky and hope that you learn not to do stupid stuff like that. I am from Muskegon and one of my cousins was swept off the pier and drowned so I hope you learn from your stupidity and pass this knowledge along to others so that you aren't found by floating around in the water a few months after you disappear. This is not an FML at all this is a you better be thanking your lucky stars that your guardian angel flies fast enough to keep up with you. BLONDIE!!!!!!!!!!

You're an idiot. Why would you do something so amazingly stupid? You thought it would be a good idea to get hit by 6 foot waves? You're lucky your still alive. Honestly? I'm kind of dissapointed that you actually are. Would have had one less idiot in the world.

You know people who submit such impetuous candor and insist on being so insulting to another person's intelligence are really annoying. Not to mention lamenting that they didn't survive a ordeal that, admittedly they were a little absentminded to get into. Add on incorrect grammar, like yours, and you get hypocritical too. I mean I'm not being sanctimonious, the OP was really stupid in this instance, but still how does that merit genocide? You're disgusting.

NICE! I don't know if this applies, but the atlantic coast, aka me, is having the biggest waves in 8 years fron hurricane Bill. Next time, be a champ and take a surfboard :)

DO you have buoyant breasts and blond hair? Because that would be the one justification for what you did, Lol.
