Today, I was at a party, and I sat down on a chair. While conversing with friends, I shifted places on the chair, and broke it. Embarrassed, I then stood up and change chairs. After moving to the next chair, I broke that one too. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at a family gathering, I sat down in a chair and it broke. Embarrassed, I picked myself up and sat down in another chair. That one broke too. I'm now the "fat girl" of the family despite weighing 90 pounds. FML
Today, I fell off my chair, then missed it completely trying to sit back down. FML
Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML
Today, I went into a restaurant with my family. I slipped off my chair, pulling the tablecloth with all the food and drinks on it with me onto the floor. FML
Today, I fell off my desk chair. Why? I failed to notice that the screws I'd been finding on the floor around my room for the past few months belonged to said chair. FML
Today, during my lunch break, I sat on the manager's chair. As I sat down, I heard a snapping sound and I ended up on the floor. Everyone now calls me "the lumpy girl" who broke the manager's chair. FML
Today, I moved my dad's chair to look for my phone, but forgot to put it back. When my dad came back, he tried to sit down in the area where his chair usually is, but instead fell down on the floor, yelling, "YOU MOVED MY CHAIR!" FML
Today, I tried to show off my dance moves at a party and ended up falling through a glass table. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my friends when I tripped and a chair rolled over my foot, breaking a bone. A friend, who didn't believe me, then dogpiled on top of me and laughed as I screamed. FML
Today, I leaned back in my chair during a meeting to appear (and feel) more relaxed. Instead, the chair tipped over, and I went down like a tree in slow motion. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A lot of gyms are having discounts this time of year. Just putting it out there.

It's only FYL if the chairs were in bad condition to begin with. If it was your weight caused it, then you might need to make some lifestyle changes...

OP probably is fat though. Or at least quite heavy. Chairs don't break just because someone sits on them unless the person is fat. It probably wasn't a dodgy chair, because it's unlikely that both the chairs s/he sat on were dodgy, it that s/he sat down on them with force, because it didn't break until they shifted their weight. The most likely and reasonable assumption is that s/he broke them because s/he's fat. If you're not, then that is some awful luck =/

That is either bad luck, or that is gravities way of saying you need to take better care of your body, or else you'll find yourself permanently on your ass.

There are no medical issues which cause obesity that can't be dealt with. Fat is just stored chemical energy. Eat less, use more energy = less fat. You absolutely can not store energy you don't eat. That aside, being fat has next to nothing to do with breaking chairs. Some chairs are just shit. I've broken about 20 chairs in the last 5 years, and I'm only 150 lbs. That's what I get for buying

I think the primary word here that people should be looking at in the post is "embarrassed." If this person wasn't overweight, they probably wouldn't have been embarrassed by the chair breaking, instead just annoyed or pissed at which point it wouldn't be an FML. And two in a row is a statistical anomaly that says to me the person is overweight. I'm not being mean, I'm not a skinny mini, but I haven't broken any chairs in my life time. And yeah, some chairs may be crap and perhaps the party host treats their furniture like shit so it just took the right person to completely break them. Maybe bad timing, maybe bad home maintenance/cheapness on the party hosts part, or maybe, just maybe, bad body maintenance on the OP's part.

It could easily not be a weight problem, but she was kind of "plopping" in the chair. In the past, with my friends, who were neither skinny but not fat either, we have broken chairs because we were plopping down in them instead of just sitting down gently.
