Today, I walked through a car park and brutally bashed my head, leaving a tennis ball sized lump on my forehead on an overhead sign saying, "Max height 6"6'". I'm 6"4'. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tripped on a step that said "Watch your step." Two hours later, I hit my head on a sign that said "Mind your head." FML
Today, I parked, then opened my car door to get out, and somehow managed to practically knock myself out by banging my head on the frame, then on the car door that had slammed back into my forehead as I was still reeling from hitting the roof. A guy walking by asked if I was okay while trying not to laugh. FML
Today, while cleaning behind a ladder, I banged my head on one of the hand rails. I stood up, cursed, and moved to the other side. To my luck, I hit the other side of my head. I now have two lumps perfectly placed as horns on my head. FML
Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML
Today, after I bashed my head into the wall behind me yesterday and knocked myself flat while flinging my head back to get my hair in a ponytail, it still hurts, so I went to hospital. Yep, skull fracture with a slight inward depression. I might need surgery. FML
Today, I ran into a car. I suffered a concussion and broke my nose. I wasn't driving. I walked right into it. It was parked. FML
Today, I was hit in the head by a golf ball. I wasn't near a golf course, and nobody was anywhere in sight. I'm still trying to figure out what happened. FML
Today, I got punched in the face, had hair ripped out of my skull and broke a tooth on the pavement when I fell. Some guy mistook me for someone else. FML
Today, I was clearing out the garage when a large bouncy ball rolled into the drive. Only when I blasted it full force with my foot and collapsed did I realise it was actually a bowling ball. Two of my toes are broken. FML
Today, I was skiing really fast and there was a sign saying 'Slow Down'. Feeling rather good about myself I decided to jump over the sign. Whilst jumping, however, I caught my ski tips on the sign and went face first into the ground. Hard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look at the height added by your shoes and socks. If you are still under 6'6", report it to management so they know to raise it.

Yep shoes and socks, and you may be 6 foot, 4.3" only adding to that shoe/sock height.

most he would be is 6'5 so that's still shorter. I would go ahead and call on that.

Just because a sign says something doesn't mean you have to believe it.

Either it was OP's socks and shoes adding enough height to put him over, or the person that measured to place he sign didn't account for the height the sign itself would take away.

Max just loves to tell everyone his height. Too bad his brother, Clarence, is less expressive because he's ashamed he's only 6'3".

Max height doesn't include the sign. The ceiling is 6"6, the sign is probably 6"1.

No those signs are typically meant to be a "if you hit this sign you'll hit parts of this ceiling"

If the height included the sign it would say "minimum clearance", "maximum height" does not include the sign.

Did anyone else have to read it more than once? For a minute I kept thinking I read that OP left his forehead on the sign. ?
