Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, I slipped on the wet floor at work and sprained my wrist badly. I was carrying the wet floor sign so no one would slip. FML

Today, I slipped on a wet floor at the supermarket and busted my nose. It wouldn't be as embarrassing if I hadn't missed the "CAUTION: WET FLOOR" sign that I'd put there myself just 30 minutes earlier. FML

Today, I fell over a wet floor sign warning you not to fall over. The irony hurt more than the fall. FML

Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML

Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML

Today, I slipped on a wet floor in the grocery store. Instead of falling gracefully or quickly, I windmilled my arms for a few seconds while making direct eye contact with a toddler who looked genuinely impressed. I didn’t fall, but still… FML

A bit late for that
Today, I slipped on the wet floor of a café, spilled coffee all over myself, and fell flat on my back. The barista ran over, not to help me, but to put up a bright yellow “Caution: Wet Floor” sign next to me while I was still laying there. FML

Hey not your fault, that sign needed to be taught a lesson anyways. Brush it off and pretend like it never happened. We all have moments, best to just move on from them and not let them wreck your day.

I understand how that happens completely. I am hopelessly clumsy!

That sucks OP but how could you miss a big yellow sign?
Morning_fml 22
It isn't really big. I'm short and sometimes I don't see it when I walk so I end up hitting it.

#22, you're not even OP and you would have to be tall to miss it not short

Did you drool on it?

They really need to make a caution sign for the other signs. No worries op, lots of people Have tripped or ran into those damned signs.

But what if people trip on the caution signs for caution signs? Do they put up cautions signs for caution signs for wet floors? After that, do they put caution signs for caution- I'll stop now.

This is the generation we live in. People are so stupid now, that we really need caution signs for caution signs.

Accidents happen, the problem is some dumb douche will sue because the sign wasn't bright enough and the cement was too hard , and win 20 million... It's a sad thing.

I laughed way too hard at this. Maybe because I was visualising Mr Bean...

Mr Bean wouldn't do this.

Why would they even have the wet floor sign out if the floor wasn't wet?
False_Stupidity 42
I would say that the floor was wet at some point recently and has since dried but someone forgot to check and remove the sign.

Makes sense
