Today, I was playing my guitar and singing on the street corner. I did earn money, when some guy threw a quarter out of his car window for me. It hit me in the face. I now have a circle shaped bruise under my eye. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML
Today, while playing on stage, the singer of my band swung his microphone around, straight into my face. I now have stitches above my right eye, and a job interview in three days. FML
Today, whilst tuning my guitar, one of the steel strings snapped and hit me in the face. Now I'm on my way to my first date with the girl of my dreams, and I'm wearing an eye patch and have a thick red line across my face. FML
Today, I was jamming out and playing some air guitar. I somehow managed to knee myself directly in my left eye socket. I now have a hideously swollen face and a black eye. When people ask me what happened, I'll be hesitant to tell the truth. FML
Today, while I was singing a song with my guitar at a college open mic, my eyes started to burn, causing me to tear up and stop playing. Everyone in the audience thought I'd actually started to cry mid-performance. I ended up having to leave the stage teary-eyed and embarrassed myself in front of everyone. FML
Today, I was playing guitar on the sidewalk and had my guitar case open for tips. A man came up with a folded piece of green paper, smiled and walked away. After I was finished, I looked at my tips. I unfolded the paper, it was a note that said "You suck!" FML
Today, a wasp knocked me out, broke my glasses, and left a gash over my eyebrow. It did so by flying under my glasses while I was playing my guitar, causing me to reflexively bat at it with the hand that was still grasping the guitar neck. FML
Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML
Today, I went to a gig. The drummer threw his drumsticks out at the end and I managed to catch one. With my face. Not only did I get a black eye, but the person next to me snatched the drumstick from my hands. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

WTF? Was he driving 60 or something? Don't doubt someone would throw a quarter at you, but leave a circle shaped bruise? BS.

this fml is just stupid

I think that was his way if saying you suck

At least the OP is doing something in exchange for coin. Far too many people now just walk around straight up asking for money, some even reacting violently to being turned down.
Ms_Jessie22 8
Agree 100% with #44
sammiller4 3
how do you know for sure he's paying for the Internet and had bought the comp

#57 maybe he's a poor college kid trying to make ends meet, you never know.
Ms_Jessie22 8

StoryOfTheYear 15
Omfg! Don't go dieing on us now OP I've heard that those bruises are really brutal, you look hurt, may I call a waah-mbulance?
GoPlayInTraffic 2
I agree 100% with #52's 100% agreeance with 44. Thanks Jessie And i'd like to add to the OP, props for roughing it out in the line of fire. You earned whatever you got. Maybe not in this case, but I know some people intentionally hope to hurt people when they "donate" change by throwing it
pingpongpickle 8
op say you got in a huge fight and wonn
Ms_Jessie22 8

#67 I know I was just aiming that towards 45 cause she called him an idiot for being able to afford a computer with Internet yet he's trying to get money off the streets

Who says OP wasn't just playing for fun and to see if he could actually do it, or something. Doesn't mean he's a hobo, damn.

Ms_Jessie22 8
I'm soooo jealous Loren! *bows down* /sarcasm
sammiller4 3
why can't you play BYOB
StoryOfTheYear 15
cuz chop suey is even easier than even smoke on the water in my opinion and BYOB isn't on YouTube to teach me how for free :]
StoryOfTheYear 15

Plus, the whole thing was for Humane society. (thnx for being nice. haha) Its a thing I'm doing during the summer before school starts. So if people want to stand outside 100 degree weather for charity, or sit on FML and call people worthless, doesn't matter to me.

woow. I'M NOT A HOBO. People need to see this before they start making stupid accusations.
