Today, I tried demonstrate to my little brother that, unlike what he sees in cartoons, it is impossible to slip on a banana peel. I'm not too sure he's convinced. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered that you can't always assume your little brother is kidding when he says that you have a spider on top of your head. FML
Today, I found a banana peel on the clean floor. My 4-year-old son said that he was playing Spider-Man and trying to slip. I picked it up and while walking to the kitchen garbage can, slipped on the actual banana. I slid across the kitchen floor, fell, and bruised my tailbone. He laughed. FML
Today, my brother tried to ninja-kick his dirty underwear up into his hand. He failed and it landed on my face. FML
Today, I actually slipped on a banana peel, cartoon-style, breaking my kneecap and dislocating my hip. I will never hear the end of this. FML
Today, I tripped on an actual banana peel and fell over in front of my crush. I'm pretty sure that's the closest I'll ever come to being a meme. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that your little brother is not joking when he threatens to shave your eyebrows if you don't let him watch cartoons. FML
Today, my brother and I had a long argument. He believes wholeheartedly that pineapples are not actually fruits, but berries. When I showed him a google search, he accused me of "faking" it. FML
Today, I had to explain to my little brother that my pads were not in fact "big band-aids" and that he should probably remove them from his legs. FML
Today, my little brother punched me in the stomach. When I didn't flinch and he asked me why, I thought it would be funny to tell him I was Iron Man and that nothing could hurt me. Two seconds later, he took a step back and kicked me in the nuts as hard as he could. FML
Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I didn't believe it when I was younger either. So I took matters into my own hands and conveniently placed one in the school courtyard..and a kid proceeded to slip on it. It's real, hahah.

Don't doubt it! I live in Toronto, and I was walking down the street talking to my friend, and I actually slipped on one... hahah

My son thought this too! For months he would leave banana peels all over the house trying to make us trip! They must watch the same cartoons!

They proved it on mythbusters too. while the odds are slim, you can in fact slip on a banana peel (see episode "Double Dip, Banana Slip")

My Spanish teacher once wanted to try it out. He had to grab the board and his podium to stay up. This all went down in the middle of class. -.-

One time my sister and I tried to prove that. My dad walked into the kitchen to find banana peels all over the place. He was not happy. Not happy at all.

Yeah, once I went to get out of my car in a parking lot. As I put my foot down I nearly fall into a split position (painful, as I am not *that* limber). I looked down at what I skidded on, praying it wasn't dog poop or something similar. I burst out laughing when I saw it was the old cartoon standby of a banana peel.

Of course it's possible!

When I was 2, my mom was buying tickets at a train station. I was about 3 yards away from the door when I decided I wanted mommy. So I ran towards her and slipped on the banana peel that was right in front of me. I bruised my head really badly. I still have a rather large bump there, even today. It's been over a decade.

ok, i was watching some losers at my school when they found a banana peel in front of the science block. The leader decided that he could ride the peel like a skateboard. I believe he lost 5 teeth.
