Today, I was shovelling snow out of my driveway and broke my shovel. So I tried cleaning the driveway with a garbage lid. That broke too. Now I'm out snow shovel, AND a garbage lid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told to shovel four inches of snow from my driveway. I had to get the snow shovel from the rafters of my garage, and there were other tools with it. As I was yanking the shovel down, a pickax fell and smashed through the back window of my dad's Buick. FML
Today, it was my turn to take out the trash. While walking to the dumpster, I slip and fall. It doesn't really hurt, so I get up and go to the dumpster, but the top is frozen stuck. It won't budge. Then I really pull with a lot of force, and the lid swings open and busts my nose. FML
Today, I broke, shoveled, and salted the ice covering my entire driveway. The size is roughly 8 cars' worth, and took me two hours of back-breaking effot to clear. I completely forgot that it was supposed to rain later today. FML
Today, my mom and I had to shovel our driveway after an epic snowstorm that left us with 22 inches of snow. We only needed to dig out my mom's car and not mine. After we did all that work and shoveled all the snow onto the side where my car was we found out my mom had a flat tire. FML
Today, I'm at my grandparents' house to help clear snow. I was making a path to the driveway by pushing the snow out of the way. I saw a big pile and went to kick it really hard. Alas, it was a step. FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, after sweeping up a spill, I managed to break the cupboard door. With my head. FML
Today, it was very windy and snowy and the neighborhood's garbage cans were blowing everywhere. I had already brought mine in and I saw my neighbor's being blown away. Thinking I'd be nice, I went out to pick it up. Just before I could however, the wind smashed it into me and I fell on the ice. FML
Today, I decided that it would be good exercise to shovel the ice on the backyard patio. Now I can't stand up. FML
Today, I came home from school to find my house ransacked. The robbers shoveled a path from my back door to the driveway, through the snow, then they stole my snow-shovel. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is the moment you've been waiting for. It's time to break out the flamethrower.

I think that's fate telling you to take a snow day and bundle up indoors :)

Did you think about asking a neighbor about borrowing their shovel?

And when you borrow their shovel, this time shovel in layers instead of trying to pick up a whole section and lift all of it at once. It'll take longer but at least you won't break your neighbours shovel, or hurt your back.

Should have used some duct tape and used it to tape the broken handle onto the broken lid.

Hey man find a heap snow shovel on Craig's list or something! I know it's hard to go anywhere also you could try asking some neighbors if you can borrow theirs!

I feel ya, OP. I'm in VA too. Hopefully, some of the snow will melt today.

Damn that must be some seriously thick snow or just a really weak shovel and garbage lid.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a trash can lid heavy-duty enough for snow removal...
