Today, I tripped while rushing to my classes. In a desperate attempt to regain my balance, I grabbed the nearest thing to me. A fire alarm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. FML
Today, my fire alarm startled me so badly that I shat myself. FML
Today, as I entered a stairwell, the fire alarm went off, triggering the automatic fire doors to close. The one I was walking through ran over my foot, ripping my toenail, and then smacked me in the face. FML
Today, my dorm's fire alarm went off. In the rush to escape, I slipped and fell off my bunk bed, breaking my ankle in two places. Crying, I told my roommates I needed help to walk. They shrugged and left after mentioning that I would slow them down. FML
Today, I was dragged to the food store with my mom. While we were shopping, the fire alarm went off. My mom pushed the cart at me, nearly knocking me over, and sprinted for the door. FML
Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML
Today, at work, we had a fire drill. I was the first to run out of the building, but in my haste, I tripped on the stairs, and rolled down the flight. When I got to the bottom, I tried to stand up, but my ankle was already swelling. What felt like the entire office watched as I limped to the designated meeting point. FML
Today, I sneaked out of work early. I tripped over my own feet while walking up to my car. As I fell, I managed to hit the panic button on my car keys, setting off my car alarm while I lay flat on the ground in the parking lot. FML
Today, someone tripped the fire alarm at the hotel I'm currently staying at while I was taking a shit. FML
Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Does anyone remember when the fml staff would moderate the first comment if they said first? The staff would write something totally ridiculous and people were like wtf how did this person write all that? I didn't have an account at that time, more of a lurker. but it was hilarious.

However they may notice you in the principal's office

Yeah, now people will know how much of a firebrand OP is.

Unless their school is new or has been updated with security cameras. There's a chance the op could end up in trouble for being late AND pulling the alarm...sorry op!

In my school, there are covers over the alarms so that kind of thing wouldn't happen...

"Why'd you pull the alarm, kid?" "Well, you see, I'm too hot." "Hot damn."

Looks like you've met your *match*, OP... gravity. Ah, but thinking about it brings me *down*. :(
gabythatcher 21
that joke was already terrible, why did you have to *point* it out to us?

Your puns are tearable

It took me forever to figure out how "match" was a pun
redstone7693 29
