Today, I was in a car accident, two days before Christmas. I'm now laying at home, not able to walk. My whole family thinks that I'm joking. A car drove over my foot, I'm not joking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my family and I were burning our Christmas tree. For a laugh, my dad jokingly pushed me toward the fire. I tripped, and my doctor says the burns are probably going to scar. FML
Today, I was joking around with my manager about faking an injury to collect Worker's Compensation. Then I actually slipped and sprained my foot, and now my manager thinks I'm lying. FML
Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML
Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML
Today, while walking to work, I sneezed so violently that I slipped on a patch of ice and hit the ground hard, badly spraining my shoulder. I lay there in agony as a pair of bystanders just stood there, laughing their asses off. FML
Today, I fell over on the bus. X-Rays revealed not only that I have been growing extra bones in my foot, but that when I fell, I crushed all of them. Doctors don't know how to fix bones that aren't supposed to be there, so they're just going to cut them out. Two days before Christmas. FML
Today, after my at-the-time partner got in a car wreck with minimal injuries, I drove two hours and got a week off classes to take care of them on hand and foot, they are currently my platonic roommate and I nearly broke my foot… and they keep acting annoyed when I ask for something because I can't walk. FML
Today, my boyfriend knocked into me with his car. I drove myself to the hospital because he couldn't stop laughing long enough to drive. FML
Today, I called the campus police to give me a ride to the cafeteria since I am on crutches from knee surgery. I was only halfway into the car when the man started driving and ran over my foot. Now neither my right knee or my left foot work. FML

In most Scandinavian families Christmas traditions involves the whole family helping make Christmas a reality

#32 That doesn't mean anyone should joke about something serious like a car accident.

Tbh I'm not surprised if someone did, people lie a lot these days !

If a car ran over your foot, how were you in an accident? A car accident implies you were INSIDE the car when the accident occurred...

I broke nearly every bone in my foot when my dad backed a ute full of soil over my foot.

Why do they think you would fake that? Your family really doesn't trust you. Sorry, OP!

Why would people say you deserved this? Anyway, I seriously hope that you have a better Christmas, OP.

Some people just push YDI to be an asshole and sometimes people push it on accident. I get so frustrated when I accidentally press YDI on something the OP definitely did not deserve.

I put YDI because OP was being melodramatic calling it a "car accident". I mean, I'm sure it hurt, but there are pretty few fatalities from a broken toe or two. It was misleading. Also, the only way his family wouldn't believe him is if there are no physical signs (massive bruising, swelling or deformities) or OP is refusing to go to his doctor for an X-Ray or resetting and a cast. So one could equally assume he's overplaying the whole situation to either us and/or his family.

It was an accident involving a car. Thus, a car accident. As for bruising- that takes time to show and trying to get into Ortho doctors this time of the year is a pain in the ass hecaus they want to be at home with their family. There's also the fact it could be more than "a broken toe or two"- it's quite possible to have every bone in your foot crushed from such a thing, which basically means you are ******. Even if the only thing broken were a few toes, the amount of bruising in the rest of the foot could still be substantial enough to cause duress when standing.

#46 it can definitely be a car accident with no fatalities. I was in one two years ago that totaled my car and im still having medical issues.

I was literally in a car accident a week ago with no fatalities. And if a car is run into a building it's called a car accident. If a car hits someone it's called a called a car accident (or vehicular manslaughter if someone is tried and convicted).
